Product information "Nux Optima Air NAI 5"
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.
