ThePedalGuy Unboxes and Demos the NuX Stageman Floor Acoustic Preamp and DI Pedal

[@1madcracker]

I’ve use this pedal for about a year now on my piano, bass and acoustic guitar. I play live several times a month and I’ve considered buying a second one. I use it as a DI and effects pedal depending upon what instrument I’m playing. The point is is very versatile and apparently durable.

[@larryroybal6946]

This is a great tool for acoustic guitar players. It helps me to quickly find the right tones and volume levels wherever I'm playing live solo acoustic music.

[@ThePedalGuy]

Couldn’t agree more

[@joedrive9423]

Regarding the notch filter... People more familiar with electro-acoustics probably ignored this error, but people seeking to understand what these are for and whether they need one should know that the notch filter is misrepresented in this video. It's not for the picking sounds and when used correctly can be very useful. That really should be edited and this video reposted. Hint: Sound hole covers help to address the same thing.

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, this was a slight error on my part. Can't repost the video but I acknowledge the slight error here.

[@andrewdobson813]

Can the unit be powered by a battery, if not, is the mains adapter included?

[@amsmarle]

Hey there pedal Guy, this is a nice video thanks for putting it up. I have purchased it from your video. I am very happy with it. Please can you tell me if it is possible to record my acoustic guitar using an sm57 xlr from mic to a 1/4 mono jack into the Stageman input will not work. How do I get my mic to record through the Stageman Floor acoustic Preamp DI into my audio interface... thanks for any advice Alan

[@gerardothielen4310]

I’m convinced.

[@ThePedalGuy]

Cool

[@Nazman06]

I have a new 40 watt Fender Acoustisonic Jr. It sounds bad . This should help. I just ordered one of these

[@ThePedalGuy]

Hope it does the trick

[@claudiosquella6730]

Hey there! looks really nice the pedal. I have a question, is it possible to hear with headphones only what the loop is looping and not the whole performance of the guitar? If you know how to do this we will appreciate some advice! thank you

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately it doesn't do that, but that's a great idea for sure.

[@HL-OOI]

Is this a good add-on to Fishman loudbox mini? I have a Fishman flex blend on my guitar

[@ThePedalGuy]

Should sound fine

[@parksolomon1303]

HI, Can it be connected directly to a powered spaeaker without a mixer? And also can I connect mp3 player or smartphone there for music playing or backing tracks?

[@ThePedalGuy]

Yes you can connect directly to a powered speaker snd there is an aux input for your mp3 player

[@parksolomon1303]

@@ThePedalGuy Thank you very much I'm thinking of having it next time

[@leonamferreira8053]

I am not very familiar with amps for acoustic, but since this is a preamp pedal, do you think it is necessary to have another pedal to simulate cabinet?

[@ThePedalGuy]

Hi. Thanks for the question. Not for an acoustic preamp. Just route the preamp to your mixer or PA. That will do the trick.

[@leonamferreira8053]

@@ThePedalGuy really thanks, so that's why the DI output is available for this pedal: to send directly to the mixer

[@sudiptopaladhi7708]

I use AKG C411PP Pre-polarized condenser transduce vibration pickup with my Epiphone EJ200SCE, which has also esonic 2 preamp system. I want to add NUX stageman Di pedal after the akg transduce for more realistic acoustic flavour. What do you suggest?

[@ThePedalGuy]

Hi. Thanks for the question. I'm not sure I understand completely. You have a preamp already and want to add another preamp? Or are you trying to choose between the NuX or the Esonic?

[@wymowaiyan6505]

Can the notch filter eliminate typical acoustic feedback

[@ThePedalGuy]

Yes that’s what it’s provided for specifically I believe.

[@rfbart05]

Hi, I have this unit powered by 9V DC adaptor.. What if someone turn on the phantom power switch. Will it damage the unit? Thank you for the answer

[@ThePedalGuy]

It wouldn't be ideal.

[@TheMarianurban]

Hi! Do u this that's possible to use this pedal with an electric bass? Thanks!

[@ThePedalGuy]

Probably would want to look at the Melvin Lee Davis bass preamp pedal instead

[@TheMarianurban]

@@ThePedalGuy well, I'm looking for a all in one chorus and reverb pedal for bass

[@ThePedalGuy]

@@TheMarianurban gotcha. That’s tough as there aren’t that many bass multi fx out there. You might want to look at Zoom or possibly the NuX MG300

[@christianpaulyao4300]

How much amperage does the pedal need? Hope you answer:)

[@ThePedalGuy]

Most Standard 9V Negative Tip adapters will work. NuX has one called the ACD 006

[@jixxxxer17]

i bought this pedal as I thought it would make my acoustic guitar ( Martin D15M) using a LR baggs M1 pick up sound less harsh going straight into my electric guitar amp ( 1982 Music Man 112 Rd fifty) but so far not really helping , ugh , i tried the LUX straight into my pa and it's still rather harsh sounding. i think it's not the pedal i was hoping for ? Am I that lost ? what are you playing thru I didn't catch this in your vid ? Thanks

[@ThePedalGuy]

I might suggest trying the NuX Optima Air. The Neve preamp will compliment the Martin tone

[@jixxxxer17]

@@ThePedalGuy Thank you so much I will investigate the Nux Optima Air, Peace !

[@jixxxxer17]

@@ThePedalGuy Ok I'm having crazy thoughts now lol since this NuX Stageman Floor unit has Reverb would it be practical to use it as a reverb pedal for electric guitar use with a regular electric guitar amp ? at least I can keep it and use it for something maybe , i wonder how the preamp would work with electric guitar set up ? probably not as good sounding as a regular Pre amp pedal like a JHS Clover ? damn this tone hounding and refinement can drive a guy bonkers lol Peace !

Acoustic guitar to el guirat amp ? Wtf....

[@shawn2571]

Does this come with a power supply?

[@ThePedalGuy]

No it does not.

[@73prd]

Just bought one and the flashing lights won't turn off

[@ThePedalGuy]

You might have a faulty unit.

[@73prd]

@@ThePedalGuy I worked ot out it was my block power supply on 9v I'm running it on 18v now and soled the problem works great

[@danyel8707]

Is it still sound acoustic guitar if i played an electric guitar??

[@ThePedalGuy]

Daniel Mongcal thanks for the question. No that won’t work. What you would want would be something like the Hotone Omni AC.

[@utubehound69]

The Boss AC-2 Acoustic Simulator works pretty good It works better w/Acoustic Gtrs w/Piezo pickup. I run my acoustic live thru one on those then chorus a lil delay smidgeon of verb. This looks NUX looks really great Acoustic Pre Amp EQ FX / Looper in one. NUX Loop Core is a great petal 6 hrs of record time @24bit.

[@ThePedalGuy]

Watchman4u good feedback. Thanks!

[@Preston_M.]

Does this have a stereo input jack (tip and ring) to run piezo and mag (black angel dp235 and dp234)

[@ThePedalGuy]

Preston Mcchesney thanks for your question. It’s a mono input.

[@whamni]

Pedals like these really need to use the phantom power when plugging into the DI ! Having to carry an extra power supply or batteries, is just not practical imo. I also think you should have tried a magnetic pickup to let us hear how that sounded ! Please take this as constructive criticism .

[@ThePedalGuy]

Fair enough

[@Ricardo-xz5bn]

Ese LOOP del inicio no me gustó mucho. Un poco fuera de tiempo en una de las capas.

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks for the feedback

[@shckltnebay]

Did you see the Freeze function, just not interesting to you or what?

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks for the question. We covered the freeze at around 9 minutes into the video.

[@001mladen]

sounds too much piezzo......

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks for the feedback. That might have had to do more with the pickup on my Martin more so than the pedal. The Fishman pickup installed on that guitar has three "body" settings where it simulates mic placement.

[@weslenne352]

You deal with sound but the quality of your audio is horrible, so hard to understand what you're saying, too much low frequency sound......just saying

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks for the feedback. Agree to disagree but we have made changes to the audio recently that have shown some solid improvements overall. I invite you to come back again.

[@weslenne352]

@@ThePedalGuy Thanks for the reply. I certainly will.
