NUX Recto Distortion — High-Gain Amp-In-A-Box for Heavy Riffs and Lead Work
The NUX Recto Distortion is a compact, high-gain distortion pedal that delivers the crushing tone of a modern American dual-rectifier amp head. Designed for metal, hard rock and tight rhythm playing, it packs searing gain and defined low-end punch into a simple, stage-ready unit.
Aggressive Amp-Like Gain Structure
The Recto Distortion features a hot-rodded preamp circuit that produces thick saturation, tight bass and smooth upper mids — perfect for palm-muted chugs, harmonics, and soaring solos. Whether used into a clean amp or as part of a stacked gain chain, it gives your signal the impact of a full metal rig.
Simple, Gig-Ready Layout
With classic Gain, Tone, and Level controls, the pedal is easy to dial in — from tight rhythm tones to saturated lead lines. Its compact footprint and sturdy metal chassis make it ideal for players who want brutal distortion without the bulk.
True Bypass and Rugged Build
Housed in a durable metal enclosure, the Recto Distortion features true bypass switching, ensuring that your tone stays pure when the pedal is not in use. It's built to handle the road and the rehearsal room alike.
