Pedals that stack with the NuX Metal Core Deluxe MKII

Beetronics Nectar

Push the Metal Core's tight, direct-recording metal gain with the Nectar's own boutique low-gain saturation and the two stack into real weight.

Beetronics Overhive

Push the Metal Core's tight metalcore gain with the Overhive's own medium-gain drive and the two stack into real weight.

MXR Dyna Comp

The Dyna Comp's sustain-focused compression ahead of the Metal Core Deluxe tightens picking before the digital high-gain modeling shapes the tone.

Electro-Harmonix Bad

The Metal Core's tight, direct-recording metal gain gives the Bad's resonant phase sweep serious harmonic content to color.

Meris Polymoon

Keep the Polymoon after the Metal Core Deluxe — the gated high-gain distortion stays tight and the delay's own modulated, dynamic repeats trail behind it. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Neunaber Wet Mono Reverb Pedal

Keep the Wet reverb after the Metal Core Deluxe — the gated high-gain distortion stays tight and the reverb adds a muted, subtle tail. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
