Korg Nu:Tekt OD-S Nutube Overdrive Kit

General

If the overdrive of your dreams doesn't actually exist, then why not just build it using the Korg Nu:Tekt OD-S overdrive kit. This complete kit allows you to build your own bespoke Nutube-driven pedal with ease, without solder, and according to your very own specifications. The inclusion of a Nutube valve offers access to the rich harmonic characteristics of analogue circuits, and the refreshed and revolutionary twist on the traditional tube that is the Nutube, offers all the same response and harmonic distortion as a conventional tube, while taking up much less space and energy. The OD-S also comes with two gain pots so that the incoming signal can be set just as accurately as the level of harmonic distortion, and a footswitch is also provided for easy switching between two different overdrive types.

The Korg Nu:Tekt OD-S Kit: Fully Customisable Layout

For the more advanced users, it's possible to completely modify the layout by swapping out certain components for ones you'd prefer, so you can finally build a genuinely custom pedal and create that sound you've had in your head. The sheer potential of this kit in the hands of any guitar-geek tweaker is actually insane, but in case you do need a little guidance, various circuit diagrams are free to download from the Korg website, and each circuit results in a different sound that can be fully customised according to your very particular wishes. In short, Korg really have done everything within their power to make your first custom pedal building experience as smooth and creative as possible.
