Korg NU:TEKT TR-S

The TR-S is a preamp pedal from Nu:Tekt by Korg that can be assembled independently and, thanks to the Nutube tube, recreates the sound of a tube amplifier, even by connecting it to a transistor amp. With Tube Gain, Mix, Power Sag and Volume controls, the pedal response and compression of the tube itself can be adjusted in detail. In addition, there are SAG-related controls, namely Tone, Sustain and Threshold with which you can fine-tune the compression of the amp even more.

OVERVIEW OF THE TR-S FROM NU:TEKT BY KORG

The TR-S is an effects unit equipped with Nutube to offer the responsiveness and feel of a tube guitar amp. Thanks to new technology using Nutube, unheard of compression effects similar to those of a tube amp can be achieved even when recording or using a transistor amp. In addition to the excellent tone, one of the advantages of the Nu:Tekt series is the ability to assemble them yourself. The TR-S kit requires no soldering, and the tools needed for assembly are included in the package. This makes the TR-S the easiest and fastest unit to assemble in the entire Nu:tekt series. With the TR-S, you can have fun building the kit as a do-it-yourself project, and the result is a great-sounding compression pedal that gives you the tone and feel of a tube amplifier.

RECREATE THE BEHAVIOR, FEEL AND VOLTAGE DROP OF A TUBE POWER AMPLIFIER WITH THE NUTUBE

This device has a circuit that handles the compression of the tube itself, which is only possible with the Nutube. With the Nutube it is possible to recreate sag (the feeling of compression), a behavior of tube power amplifiers that can be used in a variety of situations, such as when playing through a transistor amplifier or recording on a desktop music system. The TR-S includes three adjustment knobs inside the top cover of the enclosure, in addition to the four knobs on the panel, which allow you to get even closer to the desired sound. The TR-S allows for a natural-sounding compression effect even with other instruments besides the guitar.

CAN BE ASSEMBLED EASILY AND QUICKLY!

It can be assembled as easily as a plastic model, with no soldering required. All the necessary tools are included. The circuit diagram is given in the included user's manual. The Nutube-driven TR-S is ideal for those who like self-assembled effects with incredible performance and sound quality and will help you create your own sound.
