analog dual effects pedal overdrive ACE OF TONE
Ace of Tone is a dual overdrive pedal, containing both a Tubeman MKII and a Morning Star. Why? Because guitarists like to combine two overdrives to achieve their own tone.<br><br>In the left corner we have: the Tubeman with FAT mode. The Tubeman offers much more clarity and gain than a classic Tubescreamer, and NUX has modified the circuit with a handy secondary function (FAT mode) that is engaged by holding down the footswitch. It increases bass response – the improved low end makes the tone even warmer!<br><br>In the right corner we have: the Morning Star with SHINE mode. The Morning Star is based on the legendary Bluesbreaker circuit: very transparent, with low gain overdrive. By holding down the footswitch you can switch on SHINE mode. SHINE mode boosts the treble to make your sound crystal clear.<br><br>Ace of Tone has versatile routing and toggle switches: <br>- Adjust the order of the effects: Morning Star going into Tubeman or vice versa. <br>- Choose buffered bypass or true bypass with the BF / TB switch.<br>- Use the 9V/18V switch to internally double the voltage to 18V for a wider dynamic range.<br><br>Controls and Features:<br>Left side (Tubeman)<br>DRIVE knob: controls the gain of the Tubeman circuit.<br>TONE knob: controls the amount of treble of the Tubeman circuit.<br>LEVEL button: Regulates the volume of the Tubeman circuit.<br>Footswitch: turns the Tubeman circuit on/off. Press and hold the button for 1 second to switch the FAT mode on/off.<br>FAT indicator: when FAT mode is on, the indicator will light up.<br><br>Right Hand Side (Morning Star)<br>DRIVE button: controls the gain of the Morning Star circuit.<br>TONE knob: controls the amount of treble of the Morning Star circuit.<br>LEVEL knob: adjusts the volume of the Morning Star circuit.<br>Footswitch: switches the Morning Star circuit on/off. Press and hold for 1 second to turn on/off the SHINE mode.<br>SHINE indicator: lights up when SHINE mode is on.<br>Effect order switch: Morning Star first, then Tubeman or Tubeman first, then Morning Star. Very useful when stacking the two overdrives!<br><br>Inputs and Outputs:<br>Input: connect the guitar to the INPUT jack.<br>Output: connect the OUTPUT to the amplifier.<br>EXT. SW: You can use an external foot controller (such as NUX NMP-2) to control this pedal remotely.<br>BF / TB Switch: BF means buffered bypass, TB means true bypass. Use this toggle to select the option that sounds best when the pedal is off (can depend on the situation).<br>18V/9V Switch: ACE or TONE can double the voltage internally to 18V, which will increase the dynamic range and headroom.<br>DC Jack: ONLY use a 9V Negative Tip power adapter with at least 100mA.<br><br>Specifications:<br>Input Impedance: 2.2 M Ohm<br>Output Impedance: 1k Ohm<br>Power supply: 9V DC (negative tip, optional ACD-006A adapter)<br>Current consumption: less than 100mA<br>Dimensions: 105(L) X 115(W) X 58(H) mm<br>Weight: 440g<br><br>
