NuX Damp Reverb
Nux · pedal
The NuX Damp is a mini digital reverb offering three distinct types: Spring, delivering a bottom-heavy, classic surf-style reverb splash ideal for rockabilly; Plate, a clear, renowned studio-style ambience heard on countless classic recordings; and Hall, a lush, large, encompassing reverb with warm decay. Decay, Level, and Tone controls shape the core sound, and holding the footswitch engages a secondary effect, Shimmer in Plate mode or Freeze in Spring and Hall modes. It suits players wanting a compact, affordable reverb that covers surf, studio-plate, and spacious hall character with genuine tonal variety between modes rather than one fixed reverb voice.
