The Nux Metal Core Deluxe MKII is a surprisingly potent little box for metalheads on a budget. It nails the core high-gain tones – think modern metal to classic thrash – and the IR output is a real bonus for recording. Perfect for players wanting a dedicated metal preamp without the amp commitment or the expense.
