Three High-Gain Amp Architectures Combined in a Pedal Format
The MetalCore Deluxe MK2 is designed as a true pedalboard preamp: it combines three high-gain amp models, each with a very distinctive identity. The Duo Rect voice targets the impact and "American metal" grain of the 90s, tight in the low end and aggressive in the upper spectrum, perfect for massive palm mutes. The Fireman voice emphasizes a more "Brit" and edgy drive, with musical mids, ideal for hard-rock riffs and leads that cut through the mix. Finally, the VH4 voice is positioned in a modern, precise, and articulated register, designed to maintain definition even on very low tunings and fast rhythms.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This pedal is aimed at guitarists who want a ready-to-play saturated sound without relying on a specific amp: metal musicians (thrash, groove, metalcore, djent), hard rock, modern punk, as well as producers and session guitarists looking for a direct and coherent solution. In the studio, it facilitates headphone tracking and direct recording thanks to the IR section. In live settings, it can serve as the main preamp to a PA system, audio interface, FRFR system, or as a dedicated high-gain color on a pedalboard already oriented towards clean/crunch sounds.

Questions frequently asked
What high-gain amp sounds does the Nux Metalcore Deluxe MK2 offer?
Three models are available: Duo Rect, Fireman, and VH4. Duo Rect targets American metal rhythms, Fireman emphasizes a midrange suited for hard rock, while VH4 maintains clarity in low tunings.

The output with IR enables connection to a PA, audio interface, or FRFR system with a mic'd cabinet simulation. Five slots, numbered 4 to 8, are reserved for loading third-party IRs.
How to load custom impulse responses into the pedal?
WAV files can be loaded via the MetalCore editing software, which handles their conversion. The EFX mobile app also allows editing through an OTG connection, depending on the device and adapter used. Third-party IRs are processed at a 512-sample resolution.

It is possible to activate or deactivate the IR at startup by holding the footswitch down while powering on. The LED indicates the selected state with a color code.
