I feel i won't be able to play acoustic guitar again without one of these. the Sound is just so nice.

I have had this unit for 3 days. The first day I was so excited to try this out.... I only used the 15 presets. I was so disappointed. None of the presets made any of my guitars really stand THEN!! today I experimented with the WOW! what a difference. 4 on my acoustic guitars (Martins, Cole Claks) really sing and sound acoustic through a PA. The quacking Piezzo pick ups now sound like they have been mic'd up. They are not 100% pefect, but alot better! Looking forward to experimenting further!

Terrific Demo! After seeing this, I bought the NUX Optima Air for my acoustic that is equipped with the K&K pure mini. I was plugging in directly to my Roland AC -90 and the sound was okay. Bought this unit and was blown away by the improved sound and flexibility. Simply amazing device…..

That HD28 sound was amazing! It's like playing a guitar thru an condenser mic. Well done!

the moment when u owned a cheap acoustic guitar but you want an expensive guitar sound. here's your solution. i wanna buy it very soon it fullfill my 3 needs : DI box, Reverb and IRs.. thanks for the video, really enjoy it!!

Impressively accurate. The Martin HD-28 has the big beefy sound I would expect it to have, while the Taylor 814 sounds smaller and has the midrange boost that my ears associate with Taylors. They may have exaggerated the midrange-heavy sound a bit though. Overall they did a great job. But what I'm interested in is how it sounds when you record an IR image for your own guitar.

Sounds great. Great job with the quick but informative explanation. No senseless rambling. Your demo bypassed the ramblings and went straight into it. Well done.

[superbroadcaster]

Just got mine and there's a lot you can do with this, setting your own presets is amazing.
I have a boosted version of my main acoustic for solos right next to the preset for the standard main EQ. It's doubling as a boost pedal!

Be sure to read the user manual, this is one of the best acoustic IR pedals on the market, especially considering how much cheaper it is from a Tonedexter.

I was debating on between this and the aura spectrum, I went ahead and grabbed the aura, some of the tones I’m hearing from this video really remind me of some of the tones I’m getting with the aura . I don’t think anyone could go wrong either way . Thanks for the video .

[ChrisCadenhead]

Very nice little box! With a little post EQ this can really sound stellar in a band context

[MichaelStoneham]

This sounds like a great pedal. I also prefer options like a reverb Chorus, and Delay even on acoustic.

[digitalramyun]

I get the idea that to get the most out of the Optima Air: rather than stick with the factory presets, you ideally need to capture your own IRs, most likely with the instruments you’ll use it with. As well as my acoustic guitars (Faith Saturn 6-string and Seagull S12 12-string), I’d love to try the Air with my Crafter M70E mandolin...

So I was at worship group playing guitar player sounds good, sounded like he had a pair of expensive pedals, was ask to play a worship set with a group, i didnt have my pedalboars and guitar the guitarist let me borrow his stud then I saw the pedalboard and I notice all these pedals and I was like on shoot nux pedal sounds that good, these are inexpensive pedals that work wonders mix in with a ibanez, mooer pedal its sounded amazing

[allanploth]

Thanks. Great demonstration, helpful.

[cameroncook]

So far this looks like the best pedal for the $$$

[DenisVolga]

So far i've heard only bad modulated D45 sound from this thing, but on this video it sounds pretty okay. Interesting.

[Cody-Blues]

Great demo, I've been looking for an acoustic pedal, may have found it.

[lastdaysguitar]

This thing is great! Time to trade in my Fishman Aura!

[toko]

I've been looking at getting this for over a month but I can't find it on sale anywhere. Any idea when it's getting released for sale?

[PluckingAmateurs]

I like it, does it also work this well on Nylon electro's?
