Nux released the Komp Core Deluxe, a multi-function analog compressor pedal, Delicious Audio reported on May 25, 2022. The site said the pedal should retail for somewhere around $801.
The pedal is a compressor built around an analog circuit with true bypass, according to Delicious Audio. A three-way mini toggle selects among Clip, Clean and Normal clip modes, and the circuit includes a blend control that balances dry and wet signal1. Delicious Audio describes the controls as Sustain, Attack and Blend knobs, plus a volume knob and a blend knob to bring in or out the original dry signal1.
Delicious Audio attributes the following description to the manufacturer:
"Komp Core Deluxe is a multi-function analog compressor pedal featuring a wide variety of compressor tones. 3 different clip modes and precise knobs provide a wide range of taste. Sustain, Attack and Blend knobs allow you to have a good control perspective on signal and you can give a good sustain with low noise and adjust input sensitivity precisely."
Delicious Audio also relays the maker's guidance on the modes: Clip Mode is said to suit single-coil guitars, Clean Mode to smooth the sound, and Normal Mode to sit between the two for mid-output pickup systems1. The site reports that with the blend knob at 12 o'clock the pedal stays transparent and blended with the guitar signal, and that it can also serve as a clean boost1.
A listing on RockBoard's PedalPedia gives the circuit type as analog, voltage as 9V DC center negative and current draw as 2mA2. The same listing's dimensions fields show placeholder values of 000.00 mm, so no size or weight figures are available from it2. The PedalPedia page also lists a separate NUX Komp Core Deluxe MKII2.
