The same as a conventional vacuum tube but far smaller and hardwearing, Nutube is constructed with an anode, grid and filament, and operates as a complete triode tube, effectively generates the same performance response and rich harmonic characteristics of conventional vacuum tubes in a more compact, stable and energy-efficient way. Plenty of sonic possibilities The OD-S has 2 GAIN knobs so in addition to adjusting the input level to the vacuum tube (GAIN), the anode load of the vacuum tube amplification circuit can also be changed using the TUBE GAIN. This allows you to finely adjust the sound from the vacuum tube to your liking. The OD-S also incorporates a switch on the circuit board that lets you choose between 2 different overdrive types (with different Low - High ranges) along with True Bypass; making it an ideal pedal for live performances. For advanced users who want to customize their tone further, there is an adjustable trim pot on the circuit board and the modification-friendly layout allows you to change out discrete components to create your own unique pedal to match your desired tone and performance. The possibilities are endless. Circuit diagrams are provides in the user manual and further information is readily available in the download section of the KORG website.
