2020 NAMM Show: The latest loopop video takes a look at the new Korg OD-S analog drive pedal.
The OD-S is based around a Nutube analog triode vacuum tube. Nutube technology, introduced in 2015, is essentially a ‘vacuum tube on a chip’, designed to offer the harmonic effects that vacuum tubes are known for, but in a compact, low-power form factor.
Here’s what they have to say about the video:
“During the show I built Korg’s new OD-S analog drive pedal – this video is a quick documentation of the build process as well as a test drive (pun unavoidable) with both a synth (Microfreak) and Guitar.”
Topics covered:
0:00 Intro
0:30 The Build
1:25 The Controls
2:10 Synth test
4:15 Wide on/off
5:10 Guitar test
6:50 Slightly subtle
7:30 Various tones
This is over-priced for a DIY pedal product !
I wish these review posts would write up a summary, pros/cons etc. in text form instead of video.
the least exciting new Korg product
Hope they may implement the Nutube into a future Electribe or groove synth of sorts also
Nice pedal Korg
To my ears, a lovely sound. It does NOT sound vintage to my ears, does it to others?
What do you consider ‘vintage’ and why would you expect this to sound like it?
the EHX tube thing was stereo and 50 bugs cheaper and no DIY, who is gonna by this for 260€?
This is a great sounding pedal that is so underrated.
