NUX NBK5 Masamune Booster & Compressor Guitar Effects Pedal
Given that a Booster pedal and a Compressor pedal will always be considered great additions to the boards of professional musicians then a pedal that combines both these options in one has got to be worth a look.
The Nux Masamune Booster and Compressor Pedal is that pedal. The Booster section will add colour and warmth to your tone while the Compressor section will make sure that your input and output signal can be perfectly balanced. Without a doubt, this is a great addition to any pedalboard.

Nux Masamune booster and compressor
Bought this for my semi acoustic guitar and acoustic guitar pedal board. Works very well, easy to dial in tone for either guitar. Solid construction and fits easily onto the board. Happy.

NU-X Masamune
This is a really good pedal, the compressor side makes everything sound so much better. Electric, acoustic, Cigartbox, Bass.. You name it. The Boost channel with the drive is very effective. It's quite a transparent drive that makes your amp tone sound like the amp is being driven a bit harder., not necessarily like an overdrive pedal that usually changes your tone. Boost and Compression work very well together. I use an eq pedal after the Masamune and that seems to really help get a great tone. I'm very happy with this purchase.
Store OwnerThank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. We really appreciate the support!24 March 2023 -

Nux Masamune
What a great dual purpose guitar pedal. It does exactly what it is supposed to, I play a lot of Rockabilly and need boost and sustain without overdrive. Perfect for the job. Thanks Artist Guitars Mark

Another Nux goodie
As I’d previously bought two other NuX “Verdugo”-series boxes from Artist Guitars — an NDR5 Delay/Reverb, and an NBP5 DI/Preamp — I figured this NBK5 would also deliver on quality and features, and I haven’t been disappointed. I’m not going to comment on all the switches and knobs, because you can best assess those yourself by watching/listening to the various clips AG has provided, but I’ll just add that every NBK5 video I’ve seen focuses exclusively on a demo with solid-body electrics (Teles/Strats etc.). And while I do have a use for it in that context, I was equally interested in how it would work with my other gear, including 5-string bass, acoustic/electric guitar, electric mandolin, baritone uke, etc. Well, in short — really well, and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you get the NBK5 purely for use with those kinds of instruments. For example: with the bass, the compressor (appropriately adjusted) produced a great “punchy” effect, particularly when paralleled with the Boost section — of course, the purists will tell you that your compressor shouldn’t colour your sound at all (and that’s certainly the case with other compressors I own e.g. MXR M87), but, for me, a bit of colouration is no bad thing, as I like to hear that I’m getting something for my $$$! :-). The thing is that the range of different controls on this box means you can tweak almost every aspect to match your requirements, so I’ve found it quite usable with instruments beyond my Tele. AG’s price was good for a pedal of this sophistication, so I chalk up another 5-star score for NuX with this one.
Store OwnerThank you very much for your feedback on the product. We really appreciate it. We look forward to more business with you in the future. Cheers!2 June 2021 -

Masumune
This pedal is great. The compression does wonders for you clean and overdrive. The boost fills your sound beautifully. The sustain, that spanking squashed up sound it's all there. I cannot fault this pedal. I have to give it five stars. Its the pedal you didn't know you wanted, that is until you hear it.
