Even out picking dynamics for tight funk rhythmic chording
02Nux MG-100 EFX/Drive Block (Blues Breaker / RC Boost style)
Engaged for touch-sensitive edge-of-breakup grit on chord accents
03Nux MG-100 Reverb Block (Plate)
Adds studio space and air without washing out the rhythm
The Nux MG-100 Twin Reverb model delivers the pristine headroom heard on live neo-soul tracks. Using the Cutlass in the neck+middle position reproduces the snappy, scooped in-between chime, while the internal compressor and mild drive block provide touch-sensitive compression and warmth without harsh digital clipping. Keep the master level healthy to avoid squashing the dynamics.
