About Nutube
Nutube is a new vacuum tube developed by KORG INC. and Noritake Itron
Corporation and that utilizes technology from vacuum uorescent displays.
As with conventional vacuum tubes, the Nutube is constructed with an anode,
grid and lament, and operates as a complete triode tube. Furthermore, it gener-
ates the response and same rich harmonic characteristics of conventional vacuum
tubes.
About the amp models and eect types
Amp models
1.
DELUXE CL
This dual channel, 22W blackface design from the 60’s used 6V6 power
tubes and a tube driven reverb to produce a big sound at a lower waage.
Our modeling is based on the Vibrato channel.
2.
BOUTIQUE CL
This models the clean channel of a high-quality amp that was produced only
on special order, and was known as the overdrive special. With a beautifully
rounded low range, a sharp midrange aack, and a sweet treble register, this
is ideal for single coil pickups.
3.
BOUTIQUE OD
This models the overdrive channel of a 100W high-quality amp that was
produced only on special order, and was known as the overdrive special.
The wonderful sustain obtained by raising the GAIN control is smooth and
soulful.
4.
VOX AC30
This models the Normal channel of the AC30.
The clear high range of the Celestion alnico “Blue” speaker, as well as the
rich midrange, deliver a captivating clean sound.
5.
VOX AC30TB
This models an AC30 amp with the “top boost” circuit of the 1964 AC30. It
delivers a smooth and rened top end, a majestically deep overdrive, and a
rich, brilliant clean sound.
6.
BRIT 1959
This models the high treble channel of a hand-wired amp head made in
England during the early 60’s. Raising the volume of this 100W output amp
all the way produces the crunch that will forever be the sound of rock‘n’roll.
7.
BRIT 800
This models a UK-manufactured 100W single-channel head with master
volume made in 1983. Turn the GAIN control all the way up to get the thick,
snarling hard rock and heavy metal sound that dominated the 80’s.
8.
BRIT VM
This models an English-made 100W amp head released in 2007 that boasts
a four-channel design with powerful tone. We’ve used the “Overdrive 2”
channel, which produces a tight low-end and transparent high-gain metal
sound.
9.
SL-OD
This models the overdrive channel of a snakeskin-covered 100W amp head
built in 1991. With an open low-end and a compressed mid/high range, its
powerful, heavy sound delivers a forceful tone that will not break down
even with the most extreme gain seings.
10.
DOUBLE REC
This models the modern high-gain channel from a wild beast of an amp.
Its deep and loose low-end, sparkling highs, and monstrous gain are ideal
for guitars tuned as low as possible, or for metal acts wielding seven-string
guitars.
11.
LINE
This models only a tone control amplier that produces a clean tone. In
the VOX Cambridge50, the Nutube produces rich overtones and a clear,
compressed tone. It is ideal when an electric acoustic guitar or keyboard is
connected.
Tip A properly distorted tone can also be obtained by raising the gain. If you
don’t want distortion, adjust the input level with the connected instrument
and the GAIN knob.
Eects
MODULATION knob: Modulation types
1.
CHORUS
This models a standard analog chorus, which creates a rich and spacious sound.
Adjust the modulation speed with the knob.
2.
FLANGER
This models an analog anger, which can create a sound with a distinctive swell,
like the sound of a jet plane. Adjust the modulation speed with the knob.
3.
ORG PHASE
This models a popular analog phaser in a orange-colored box. Adjust the modu-
lation speed with the knob.
4.
TWIN TREM
This models the tremolo that gives periodic strength to sound and is built into
US-made combo amps. Adjust the tremolo speed with the knob.
DELAY/REVERB knob: Delay/reverb types
1.
A.DELAY
This models an analog delay that uses a Bucket Brigade Device (BBD). Its audio
quality is lo-, but it is popular for its warm sound. Adjust the mix amount of
the delay sound with the knob.
Set the delay time with the TAP buon. The maximum delay time is approxi-
mately 1.1 seconds.
2.
TAPE ECHO
This models an acclaimed analog tape echo. Originally, echo was created by a
tape head, and the delay time was specied by changing the speed of the motor.
The operation of the knob and buon and the maximum delay time are the
same as with A.DELAY.
3.
SPRING
This simulates the spring reverb that’s built into many guitar amps.
Adjust the mix amount of the reverb sound with the knob. Set the reverb time
with the TAP buon.
4.
HALL
This models the reverberation of a concert hall containing numerous echo
components.
The operation of the knob and buon is the same as with SPRING.
