Among the sounds most appreciated and coveted by guitarists, the Centaur type pedals in the gold and silver version are among the legendary transparent overdrives / boosts of the 90s. The silver version gives an alternative sound with a larger headroom, which can be closer to a distortion pedal when pushed to its limits. The gain knob is actually a mix potentiometer between the raw signal and the circuit's overdrive signal, thus mixing the base sound and its attack with the overdriven signal which colors the sound with pleasant harmonics. With the gain knob at the start of the stroke and the volume high, you get a boost in your signal for more volume and clarity, when the gain knob is at the middle and end of the stroke, a natural, warm and quite transparent overdrive will warm up and magnify your playing. The treble knob allows you to adjust the treble frequencies and set a more or less bright sound. The Horseman offers all this spirit at a decidedly attractive price.
A concentrate of features!
In addition to offering these sought-after sounds, the Nux Horseman concentrates several practical and musical features to offer the maximum in its mini pedal format. Firstly, it offers 2 modes (Gold and Silver) taking up the sounds and gain ranges of the gold or silver versions, for two different overdrive characters (the change of mode is accessible by pressing for more than 1.5 seconds on the footswitch). Also, an internal voltage converter makes it possible to transform the signal from 9V to 18V in order to produce better dynamics in the game and especially more headroom, getting even closer to a more harmonic sound reproduction of a tube amp. Finally, the Horseman offers the option to process your signal with a True Bypass to keep the signal intact, or to activate a Buffer for better sound processing if you multiply the effect pedals, in order to avoid losses. signal. To choose, simply hold the footswitch while powering up the pedal and the color of the LED indicates which mode is chosen (red for true bypass / green for buffer bypass). With all its features the Horseman really is a great overdrive/boost pedal in a very concentrated format!
