AMSTERDAM (January 21, 2019) NEXI Industries and multi-platinum Skunk Anansie guitarist Ace are collaborating to create effects pedals designed to Ace’s specifications combined with NEXI’s award-winning plug-and-play design.
As a well-known pedal lover and collector, Ace approached the NEXI Industries team with a specific goal to develop two analog guitar pedals with the famous British Rock sound in mind. Already considered one of the most influential guitarist of the UK “Brit-rock” scene, the collaboration resulted in achieving all benchmarks Ace targeted. Ultimately, two pedals came of the results: the Skunkdrive and the Octavius.
The Skunkdrive is a classic analog, high gain, rock pedal delivering a mix of the 70’s and 80’s driven amp sound, but with an extra “byte”.
The Octavius is an analog Octaver pedal providing a full octave up or a full octave down and features a Dry/Mix setting allowing players to create their own tones.
Both pedals are a hybrid design meaning they can be powered by either 9V battery, an external power supply, or NEXI’s own pedal board.
The proprietary NEXI pedal board features a click-and-play design allowing pedals to be securely in place without the need of external power supplies or patch cables.
Each pedal will be priced at $99.95
