The NUX Optima Air is not a conventional preamp for electric and acoustic guitars. It also has a fundamentally different design to its close relative, the Stageman Floor.

The Optima Air is a dual-switch acoustic guitar simulator pedal that offers two different functions: an acoustic guitar simulator via IRs (impulse responses) and a preamp inspired by a legendary analogue studio preamp known worldwide for its sonic character and harmonic warmth. The NUX Optima Air even adds a reverb to this sound.


In addition, the pedal offers 15 simulations / IRs of iconic acoustic guitars from American brands. You can also create and save your own IRs, for example from your favourite guitars via an externally connected static microphone. The pedal offers 9 user presets and of course also manages IRs from third-party suppliers. The impulse responses (IR) are adjusted depending on whether you are playing with an acoustic or electric guitar and also the tone colour of the pickup (magnetic or piezo) to make the final sound reproduction as natural as possible.


Finally, this clever pedal offers all the connections needed for playing in the studio or on stage, such as an effects loop, aux input, headphone output, XLR DI output and a micro USB port for editing / loading IRs via the dedicated editing software.

What makes a good amplifier sound?Tube technology, selected high-voltage components, dynamics through high-voltage technology and an uncompromising analogue signal path.The BL 800 follows exactly this path. AVTC - Analogue Virtual Tube Circuit, selected high-voltage components, 280V operating voltage and a completely analogue signal path.The BL 800 is built like a real tube amplifier, with the same components, and that's exactly how it sounds!Sound without compromise:The BL 800 delivers a clearly defined, tight sound with plenty of attack. It also has a dynamic response and reaction to the guitar's potentiometer that only good tube amplifiers can achieve. The gain reserves surpass the good old JCM800, especially when the boost is switched on. Without the boost activated, the BL 800 is an exact sound copy of the JCM 800 with a little more gain; with the boost activated, there is a decent extra boost of gain.Controls:Gain, bass, middle, treble, volume, plus a gain boost. Five controls are enough to adapt the BL800 perfectly to an amplifier. This is achieved by an active 3-band tone control that covers all sound nuances. The boost adds a further scoop of gain without changing the actual sound of the BL 800.
