NUX - Queen of Tone Dual Overdrive
QUEEN of TONE is 2 classic overdrive circuits in one compact package. You'll find 2 pedals, the Horseman, a perfect copy of the legendary Centaur, and the Morning Star, based on the no less famous Bluesbreaker circuit.
Presentation
It's based on the legendary Centaur, with a modified circuit to access the secondary function by simply holding down the footswitch: SILVER mode.
Sculpt your sound with the Output, Treble and Gain pots, then try to switch between the 2 modes: Gold and Silver, which offer massive gains usually requiring an 18V input.
Gold mode mimics its classic predecessor, the Gold Centaur transparent overdrive pedal, and Silver mode is an overdriven version with an extended gain range (Silver Centaur).
On the right-hand side of the Queen of Tone is the Morning Star with its SHINE mode.
The Morning Star is based on the legendary Bluesbreaker circuit: a highly transparent, low-gain drive.
Like the Morning Star, it also features a simple footswitch to activate the iconic SHINE mode for an accentuated tone and crystal-clear highs.
