NUX Amp Core Studio Amp Modeler & IR Pedal

I always have a blast when pedals from NUX arrive on the doorstep, and I’ve recently been really enjoying the Core Series of effects they’ve sent my way. Following in the footsteps of the Verb Core Deluxe, Time Core Deluxe MKII and Komp Core Deluxe MKII pedals, today we look at the Amp Core Studio Amp Modeler & IR Pedal. Filled with amplified sounds both modern and classic, this golden beauty just might have you ditching your heavy stage rig, perfect for both your tone and your back…

The NUX Amp Core Studio inherits the NUX TSAC-HD (White-box Amp Modeling) algorithm with 26 legendary amp models, delivering the authentic sound and feel of world-class tube amplifiers in a highly portable pedal. With its huge headroom and dynamic range, it’s a pedal-friendly platform. Despite its ultra-compact size, Amp Core Studio can store up to 20 hyper-realistic amp presets with built-in IR cabinets or 3rd party IRs, fitting seamlessly into any rig. 3 Scene Modes allow seamless switching between different amp tones in real-time.

Amp Core Studio features 26 world-class guitar amplifier models, including F-style amps like Tweed, Twin, and Bassman; M-style amps like Plexi and JCM; modern high-gain amps like HBE, VH4, and Rectifier; as well as boutique amps such as the DC30, Maz 38, and AC30. The iconic TSAC-HD (White-Box algorithm) Amp Modeling offers you realistic amp feeling and fast playability response. With premium amp emulator and third-party IR loader capacity makes it easy to bring your favorite amp sound everywhere. Add Amp Core Studio to any pedal chain and connect to a mixer or PA system for excellent tone, control, and flexibility during live performance.

You can connect Amp Core Studio directly to a recording interface for excellent guitar tone, or connect headphones or monitors directly to the 1/8” Phones output to experience immersive classic amp tones in a natural sounding room without an amp. There’s also software that allows you to load third-party IRs and customize your favorite amp models to create your own sound. You can adjust the signal block order and routing, deeply tweak all block parameters, and even export or import presets.
