NUX Audio Ace of Tone — Dual Overdrive Pedal
Ace of Tone is an exceptional pedal from NUX Audio that, in one compact device, combines two iconic overdrive pedals prized by guitarists worldwide. This dual overdrive was designed for musicians who need two overdrives to build layered, rich sound — an ideal choice for both live performances and studio recordings.
Product Features
The pedal offers two independent overdrive circuits: the left side features Tubeman MKII inspired by the classic Tube Screamer, but with significantly greater clarity and gain range. The right side is controlled by Morning Star based on the legendary Bluesbreaker circuit — a transparent, low‑gain overdrive. The FAT function, activated by holding the pedal, boosts the lows and adds warmth to the tone, while the SHINE mode highlights high frequencies, delivering crystal‑clear clarity. You can freely switch the signal order between the two overdrives (MS→TM or TM→MS), providing immense versatility in shaping sound.
Complete Control Over Your Tone
With the BF/TB switch you choose between Buffer‑Bypass and True‑Bypass, allowing the pedal to fit your pedalboard. The 9V/18V switch enables internal voltage doubling — at 18V the pedal offers a wider dynamic range and a more open tone, which players seeking subtle nuances in their sound will especially appreciate. Regardless of the chosen configuration, Ace of Tone remains quiet and free of unwanted noise, which is crucial when playing at high volume levels.

- Shaping guitar tone during concerts and rehearsals — ideal for building layered overdrive
