Korg HD-S NuTekt Harmonic Distortion Pedal DIY Kit

Korg Nu:Tekt HD-S – Distortion Pedal DIY Kit with Three Combinable Circuits

The Korg Nu:Tekt HD-S is a unique distortion pedal that combines three separate circuits to create a wide range of distortion sounds. By adjusting the balance between the circuits, you can shape everything from traditional fuzz to unusual filter-like modulations and experimental tonal textures.

Developed by Fumio Mieda, known for his work on effects such as the Univibe, the pedal uses a different approach to sound shaping than conventional distortion and fuzz pedals. Four external controls and three internal trim potentiometers provide extensive options for tailoring the sound to your needs.

The Korg Nu:Tekt HD-S is suitable not only for electric guitar but also for electric bass, synthesizers and other instruments that benefit from creative, distinctive distortion.

The pedal is supplied as a DIY kit and can be assembled without soldering. The necessary tools are included, making it suitable for users who want to build their own effects pedal and learn more about its design.
