Amazing amp & cab sims

JeanThomas 14.12.2022

I find the Nux Amp Academy to be an AMAZING piece of gear for just 200€. I mainly use it as a pedal platform, running the Super Reverb amp and loading York Audio Creamback M65 or Zila H75/V30 IRs. It takes all my pedals like a champ and it's a straight plug-n-play to record via USB-C (maybe lower the input level from a few db though). On the B side, the Rectifier is very good, pair it with some York Audio Mesa V30 IRs and take it a step further ;-) It also has a DI out in case you want to go ampless at a gig.

This little box sounds full and is incredible, it sounds as good (maybe even better?) than a HX Stomp. and it is very easy to use. I rarely rate or comments on my orders, but this Amp Academy was a real surprise for me. It's got more features than an Iridium or ACS1 for half the price, and sounds has good as an HX Stomp for half the price (but it's more basic of course).

Excellent piece of kit.

Have had this for a few weeks now and all good from the off. Easily the best bang for buck piece of equipment on the market right now. Makes a good few of the pedals I already owned redundant so it's off to ebay with them. Winner winner chicken dinner! :-)

Loving it!!

Jeremy_D 17.02.2023

The whole thing is fantastic! The different amps are really good, it is easy to use, with or without the interface. It is brilliant to play with headphones and it is a perfect digital interface.
Two downsides: it can be a bit noisy, some days more than others and it would be greatly improved with a switch to turn on/off the effects and the reverb

Affordable amp sim with really decent sounds

PurpleMax 28.03.2025

Good pedal, lots of amp sims and cabs IR, and you can load your own.

Be aware that the presets are not all leveled in volume so it's not really gigable out of the box.
I leave a star out as without an external interface it's really hard to modify the presets precisely. You'll need a Pc to fine tune the preset and save them accordingly.
