NUX Mini Core Series Morning Star Overdrive Pedal
Bluesy Grit. Compact Form. Shine On.
The NUX Morning Star Overdrive is a miniature powerhouse that delivers the warm, transparent overdrive reminiscent of the classic Bluesbreaker circuit, all within a pedalboard-friendly enclosure. Designed for guitarists who crave responsive touch dynamics and rich harmonic content, this pedal offers a versatile tonal palette that spans from subtle breakup to saturated drive.
At the heart of the Morning Star is its analog overdrive circuit, providing a natural-sounding gain that preserves your guitar's character. The Drive control allows for precise adjustment, offering everything from a gentle push to your clean tone to a more pronounced overdrive. The Tone knob offers a wide sweep, enabling you to dial in the perfect amount of brightness or warmth to suit your rig.
A standout feature is the Shine mode, activated by pressing and holding the footswitch. This function introduces a treble boost, adding clarity and presence to your tone—perfect for solos or cutting through a dense mix.
The pedal also offers True Bypass and Buffer Bypass options, allowing you to choose the bypass mode that best fits your signal chain and tonal preferences.
