About Nutube
Nutube is a new vacuum tube developed by KORG INC. and Noritake Itron Corporation, which utilizes
technology from vacuum fluorescent displays.
As with conventional vacuum tubes, the Nutube is constructed with an anode, grid and filament, and
operates as a complete triode tube. Furthermore, it generates the response and same rich harmonic
characteristics of conventional vacuum tubes.
If a strong impact is applied to this unit, noise at the high-frequency range may be output.
This is due to the structure of the Nutube, and is not a malfunction.
The SMOOTH IMPACT effect pedal is a true vacuum tube-type compressor that makes use of the
changes in gain that occur due to fluctuations in the power voltage of the Nutube. You can increase
the TUBE GAIN to add characteristic vacuum tube overtones to the sound.
This effect pedal features the new Nutube vacuum tube, which adds a colorful richness to your sound.
It was developed through a wide range of research efforts and countless hours of trial and error, sup-
plementing our long years of analog engineering expertise in developing amps and effects. All of this
maximizes the uniquely responsive and rich overtones of the vacuum tube sound that so many gui-
tarists find appealing.
