Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Nux Optima Air is a clever little box, especially for acoustic players wanting a quick, affordable route to amplified sounds. It’s surprisingly capable, with decent acoustic profiles and a useful DI output, making it a great practice and small gig tool. While not a replacement for a high-end acoustic preamp, it punches way above its weight class.
