Description

Essential Information About the NUX Amp Academy Multi-Effects

  • All-in-one "ampless" platform: iconic amp modeling, impulse responses, and key effects combined in a compact pedal format.
  • Ready for stage, studio, and home: jack and XLR D.I. outputs, headphone, auxiliary input, effects loop, and IR switchable per output.
  • Free precision editor: bias adjustment, block organization, third-party IR import, presets, Drum & Loop functions, and reamp via USB.
  • Realistic amp feel: latency around 1.2 ms, 110 dB dynamic range, and 1 GHz DSP.

At the Crossroads of Classic and Modern

A true "pedalboard preamp," the Amp Academy captures the personalities of iconic amps: American "blackface"-style cleans, snappy British combos, Californian high-gain, and modern heads. Its TSAC-2K white-box modeling engine replicates the power stage and allows bias adjustment to recover the elasticity, compression, and "sag" of a pushed tube amp.

For Which Guitarist and Uses?

Designed for the modern guitarist who wants to travel light without compromising sound, it covers blues to hard rock, pop-rock to metal. It naturally integrates on a live pedalboard (to FRFR or PA), in the studio for recording and reamping via USB, or at home for silent practice with headphones. The storable scenes enable instant switching from sparkling clean to precise crunch or saturated lead.

Simple Workflow, Powerful Options

Seven movable blocks (NR, comp/boost/drive, 6-band EQ, effects loop, reverb, IR...) chain as you wish. Two footswitches control A/B channels and the 3 scenes. Controls remain familiar (gain, master, bass, middle, treble, presence, boost, noise reduction). Connectivity includes: jack output to amp return, XLR D.I. with lift, 3.5 mm headphone, aux-in, TRS insert for 4-cable integration, and USB for recording, streaming, reamping, and editing (MIDI over USB). The 1024-sample IRs are independently assignable to jack and XLR outputs, with simplified third-party IR import.

Sound

Responsive to touch and picking hand, the Amp Academy delivers sparkling cleans, gritty crunches, and dense saturations while respecting your upstream pedals. Bias adjustment shapes attack and compression, while IRs reproduce cabinet grain and room ambience. Transparent when desired, colored on demand, it cleans up with the volume knob and accepts boosts without crushing dynamics.

Here is a super complete pedal! You need to take the time to tame it and get yourself a USB C cable, not provided, but essential to access the software to configure it! But after a good half-day studying the device, it immediately took a crucial place on my pedal board! Ideal for playing without an amp, the presets are directly under your feet in an intuitive way! And when I use my amp, just put it in bypass without having to reconnect everything! In short, I love this pedal and Nux is going to make waves, given the quality of their products (see their Pedalboards).

I was looking for an "all-in-one" with decent sound and without too many unnecessary effects, so no multi-effects. This is simple! The sound is quite convincing, there are certainly better ones, but with a little work it's very very nice! The software is quite easy to use (also available for mobiles), plenty of possibilities while being simple. Crunch, overdrive, delay, reverb... the essentials. Two small drawbacks: - when changing amp on headphones, big sound variation! Careful with your ears, it corrects as soon as you touch the Master knob but it's a bit surprising. - another slightly unpleasant point: the pedal acts as an audio interface, no recognition problem (even under Linux) but no way (or not found) to adjust the line input volume... so the sound is very low when recording.. too bad....
