NUX Mod Core Deluxe MKII Modulation Pedal Effects

The NUX MOD CORE DELUXE MKII is a modulation pedal with 8 different types including ST.CH (Stereo Chorus), CE-1, SCF CHO, SCF FLG, SCF P.M., U-VIBE CHO, U-VIBE VIB and PH-100. You can switch the mod types by way of the Type rotary switch.

This pedal offers advanced signal routing with the included Send and Return. Easily split the mono signal to create customized effect loops! Additionally, you can parallel the 2 signals and use the Tweak knob in Alt mode to blend the signals. Use the 3-way toggle switch to the desired position, and you are good to go. Keep reading below for more signal routing ideas.

RATE knob

Adjusts the modulation speed.

DEPTH knob

Adjusts the modulation sweep range.

Modulation Type knob

Selects the type of modulation.

Note: PH-100’s original reference only has 2 parameters, so the Tweak knob has no function in PH-100 model.

Tweak knob

In ST.CH / CE-1 / SCF CHO / SCF FLG / SCF P.M. / U-VIBE CHO / U-VIBE VIB modes, Tweak knob adjusts the mix level of modulation. In PH-100, the Tweak knob has no function as the original reference doesn’t have a mix signal.

The Tweak knob also acts as a Blend knob while in Alt mode. To access this set the toggle switch to the // (parallel) position. You can now press and hold the footswitch to enter Alt mode. Now, the Tweak knob becomes Blend function to adjust the mixing rate of Modulation effect signal and Send/Return signal. (Counterclockwise gets more Send/Return signal, clockwise gets more Modulation signal.)

Toggle switch

Note: The toggle switch only works in advanced routing setups. For normal routing, the toggle switch has no function. Keep reading below for examples of advanced routing setups.

- Toggle the switch to desired position to choose the signal routing.

- PRE means Modulation effect goes before the Send/Return loop.

- (Parallel) means Modulation effect and Send/Return loop are parallel.

- POST means Modulation effect goes after the Send/Return loop.

Footswitch & FS Indicator

Press once to engage/disengage the effect. Press twice, it will activate the Smart Tap Tempo feature. The Rate is related to tap tempo. (The FS indicator will flash as current BPM.)

While the effect is engaged, the FS indicator will show “Red”. While the effect is disengaged, the FS indicator will turn off.

Note: The tap tempo range is 50~200 BPM.

I/O Jacks

DC jack - Use ONLY: 9V Negative Tip power with more than 150mA. (The power consumption is less than 110mA.)

USB-C port

The USB-C port is for firmware updates. Connect a USB cable to your PC and hold the footswitch to boot-up the device and to enter the DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. Once connected you can do firmware updates using DFU updater software.

In jack

The audio inputs on the right side of this pedal are standard 1/4" jacks (mono/TS). Connect your guitar to the In (mono) audio input on the right side of your pedal using a regular 1/4" instrument cable.

Return jack

In advanced routing, connect Pre-effects like OD/Dist output to the Return jack.

Out jacks

Normal routing: The audio outputs on the left side of this pedal are standard 1/4" jacks (mono/TS). Connect the audio output of Out1 to the next device in the signal chain, either with a single cable or with a pair of 1/4" cables if both Out1 and Out2 are being used.

Advanced routing: Out1 sends the modulation effect out. Send out sends the loop signal out.
