Metal Core by NUX is a high-gain preamp pedal designed to deliver heavy metal tones. It features three classic high-gain amp models, including Duo Rect, Fireman, and VH4 modes, utilizing NUX’s TSAC-HD amp modeling algorithm for realistic response and amp-like reactivity to playing and attack. The pedal allows users to save preset settings for each mode, enabling easy switching between preamp rigs without adjusting settings.
