OVERDRIVE- NUX Fireman Distortion ....where's the 'd'

 NUX FIREMAN DISTORTION 
Where's the 'd'. Yes folks this is Frie'd'man BEOD Deluxe Distortion clone. But is it a good one. Well the Fireman seems to be missing one whole channel of EQ.
But we will forgive them if the pedal sounds great!

CONCLUSION
Well I will admit it sounds excellent. The Friedman is quite literally 2 separate pedals in one box. The Nux is a pedal and a half. I find it impossible to get two sounds from one pedal on the same tune unless like The Friedman you have all the EQ etc. to go from a crunch to a great lead. Either one or both sounds are compromised. On my board I use 2 pedals even different makes to get great sounds for different parts of a tune. Should they have made the NUX bigger etc. NO! They should have made it smaller pedal featuring the high gain. It could even come in at under a $100 that way and the buyer could get their $50 NUX Plexi Crunch for a medium gain pedal.

 Friedman? a cool $270.00 USD         NUX is $120.00 USD
