NUX Verdugo Series Stageman Floor NAP-5 Acoustic Preamp & DI compact effect pedal is an analog acoustic preamp with digital effects and looper function. Its preamp, featuring a highly sensitive 3-band EQ with MID scoop toggle switch, an adjustable notch filter, and input gain control, provides ginormous headroom and delivers the sound all natural.

It is equipped with Chorus and Reverb effects, and each effect is designed to be controlled by only one knob. Tweaking the chorus or reverb knob from 0 to 10 will adjust multiple parameters coordinately. When you push and hold the Chorus switch, it will activate the freeze effect until you release it.

Large stage volume can easily cause the acoustic guitar to feedback, which makes a lot of unwanted noise. Using the notch filter on the Stageman Floor can help you to cut the resonating frequency and make it more comfortable to play on stage.
But remember that some other stage conditions can also cause signal feedback – please also check the guitar and speaker (or monitor) position, and guitar mic(s). And make sure to set everything correctly to lower the chance of causing signal feedback.

There are Gain and 3-band EQ controls on the pedal. Depending on the amplifier/speaker characteristic, playing style and acoustic guitar’s body type, you can tune your sound the way you like by using the Gain knob, Bass, Middle and Treble control.

You can optimize the preamp input according to your guitar pickup type by selecting Piezo or Magnetic for better signal processing. It has a built-in FX Loop that allows you to insert external effect units to the Stageman Floor by using a TRS cable. It also works great for various acoustic instruments like the violin, mandolin, banjo and many more.

Push both the Chorus and Preamp footswitches to turn the Stageman Floor into a looper pedal with 60 seconds recording capacity and unlimited overdubs. It’s ready to jam at anytime, anywhere.
