NUX NDR-5 Atlantic Delay & Reverb Pedal

NUX NDR-5 Atlantic Delay & Reverb Pedal – Classic Echoes, Ambient Depth, and Modern Creative Tools in One Compact Unit.

The NUX Atlantic NDR-5 is a feature-rich delay and reverb pedal designed for guitarists, keyboardists, and studio musicians seeking versatile ambient and time-based effects. Whether you're recreating vintage tones or exploring lush soundscapes, the Atlantic delivers three classic delays and three spacious reverbs—plus additional shimmer and freeze effects for modern creativity. Thanks to NUX’s Core Image Technology and intuitive Smart TAP system, this pedal is ideal for live performance, session work, and studio experimentation alike.

Powerful Delay Engine

The Atlantic covers three distinctive delay types: 70s-style analogue (BBD), 60s tape echo, and 80s digital delay. Each offers precise control over delay time, level, and repeats, ranging from subtle echoes to rhythmic textures and infinite repeats. Use the Smart TAP footswitch to easily sync with your tempo, and tap subdivision options allow for more complex delay rhythms.

Versatile Reverb Options

With Spring, Plate, and Hall reverb modes, the Atlantic captures everything from tight vintage tones to large ambient spaces. A shimmering effect can be activated by holding the Reverb footswitch, ideal for adding rich, ethereal layers to your playing—especially useful for intros, breakdowns, or cinematic passages.

Flexible Routing & Connectivity

Designed with professional rig integration in mind, the NDR-5 includes TRS input for FX loop connectivity via Y-cable, stereo output, and internal routing options for serial or parallel operation. An input level switch allows compatibility with both guitars and line-level instruments like keyboards.

Intuitive Live Performance Control

The Smart TAP function eliminates the need for holding down footswitches—simply tap to match your tempo. Whether you're after fast slapback delays for rockabilly, long modulated trails for ambient guitar, or subtle room reverb for clean tones, the Atlantic adapts seamlessly.
