The Nux NRN-1 Huminator is a noise gate pedal designed for electric guitar and bass players to eliminate unwanted noise like hum, buzz, and pedalboard interference. It is part of Nux’s Reissue Series of pedals and is engineered to preserve the tone and dynamics of the instrument while suppressing background noise.
Key features
Dual modes: The Huminator offers two selectable modes: Reduction and Mute.
Reduction Mode smoothly suppresses noise while allowing the natural decay of the instrument’s sound.
Mute Mode turns the pedal into a complete mute switch for silent playing breaks.
Built-in effects loop: The pedal includes a send/return effects loop, allowing users to isolate noisy pedals (such as distortion or overdrive) and apply the noise gate to only that part of the signal chain. This helps to maintain the natural sound of other effects like reverb or delay.
Advanced power circuit: It has an internal circuit that converts a standard 9V power supply to 18V, providing more headroom and better performance, especially with high-output pickups.
Intuitive controls: The pedal has simple Threshold and Decay knobs to adjust when the noise gate activates and how quickly the signal fades out. Dynamic LED indicators visually show the real-time level of noise suppression.
Analog circuitry: The Huminator features a 100% analog circuit, which helps to ensure the integrity of the guitar’s signal and tone.
