Thank you for purchasing the Nu:Tekt POWER TUBE REACTOR Effect
Pedal kit.
To help you get the most out of your new instrument, please read this
manual carefully.
Main features
• The PowerTube Reactor is an effects kit with a built-in Nutube.
• With this kit, you can use the Nutube to recreate power tube sounds such
as that of a guitar amp, to enjoy an authentic vacuum-tube amp sound.
• The “sag” compression effect that occurs in a power tube is repro-
duced on this kit by using a Nutube vacuum tube, and thus a POWER
SAG knob is featured on this unit to create three-dimensional sounds.
• Add the rich harmonics of the Nutube for an authentic vacuum-tube
amp sound.
• This kit is easy to assemble. All you need to do is attach the bottom
plate, the knobs and the rubber feet.
• The four knobs are easy to operate, and you can turn the internal
semi-fixed volume screws to create the settings you like to match the
sound of your guitar.
• This document includes a detailed circuit diagram, mounting diagram
and list of parts, so you can fully customize this unit to meet your needs.
• A tool and pick set to adjust the semi-fixed volume screws and the
bottom plate screws is included with this kit. You can also use the
included tools when you want to remove and modify the circuit board.
• Affix the included stickers where you like to make this unit look just the
way you want.
• This sticker sheet includes hard-to-find stickers like the Keio Electronic
Laboratories logo, an image of KORG’s legendary engineer Fumio
Mieda and more.
About Nutube
Nutube is a new vacuum tube developed by KORG INC. and Noritake Itron
Corporation and that utilizes technology from vacuum fluorescent
displays.
As with conventional vacuum tubes, the Nutube is constructed with an
anode, grid and filament, and operates as a complete triode tube.
Furthermore, it generates the response and same rich harmonic
characteristics of conventional vacuum tubes.
If a strong impact is applied to this unit, high-frequency noise may
be output. This is due to the structure of the Nutube; it is not a
malfunction.
