The NUX Komp Core Deluxe MKII is a premium, fully analog compressor pedal in NUX's compact Core Series lineup, delivering studio-grade, transparent compression that enhances dynamics without squashing your tone or adding unwanted coloration—ideal for guitarists and bassists chasing natural sustain, punch, and evenness.
This MKII version builds on the original with refined controls and versatility, making it a go-to for everything from subtle leveling on clean arpeggios and fingerstyle to funky chicken-pickin', singing leads with endless sustain, or taming hot humbuckers on overdriven rigs. Its 100% analog circuit ensures zero digital artifacts, low noise, and true musical response, with true bypass to keep your signal pristine when off.
Key controls for precise tweaking:
- Blend — Mix your dry (unaffected) signal with the compressed one—keep pick attack and dynamics alive while adding glue and sustain (a huge plus over basic comps).
- Clip — Adjust input gain to handle hot pickups or prevent clipping/distortion from aggressive playing.
- Attack switch (Fast/Slow) — Toggle response speed: fast for snappy, percussive funk/R&B; slow for smoother, more natural sustain on leads or bass.
- Sustain — Dial in compression ratio/intensity for longer tails and evened-out volume.
- Volume (Output) — Boost or match levels to compensate for compression or add a clean boost.
Highlights at a glance:
- Fully analog path for warmth and transparency.
- Versatile attack switch + blend knob for tailored dynamics (great for single-coils vs. humbuckers).
- Ultra-low power draw (10mA at 9V DC, center-negative) — pedalboard-friendly.
- Compact dimensions (122 x 72 x 47mm, ~270g) in rugged enclosure.
- High headroom and low noise for clean, professional results in live or studio settings.
Whether you're a session player needing consistent levels through different amps, a funk enthusiast chasing snap without losing groove, or pairing it with your NUX Amp Core Studio/Horseman for stacked tones, the Komp Core Deluxe MKII offers pro-level control at an accessible price—often praised for punching above its weight in transparency, musicality, and build quality.
