I though the nux was supposed to be a clone of the vertex steel string? At least that is what they think.I'll show you some in just a little bit.
I can tell you right now, the internet has been misled. The NuX Steel Singer is not a clone of this pedal.

Yeah..... that's what Mason said.... But if you skip to 3:15 is his own video you can clearly see they aren't even remotely the same circuits.
Somewhere, somehow, someone decided that since the NuX wasn't a clone of the Vertex then it must be a clone of the Free The Tone... There's even another YouTube video where the person claims that NuX confirmed it was a clone of the FTT pedal.
The NuX Steel Singer is a Tube Screamer with a JFET instead of BJT in the input buffer. There are two resistors different from a stock TS... 470K vs 510K, and 3K9 vs 4K7. It's also the exact same PCB as the NuX OD-3, which is marketed as a TS clone... They apparently just dressed it up in fancy Dumble themed graphics to boost sales.
The Free The Tone String Slinger is a completely different circuit.

I believe he uses other builders circuits, maybe he doesn't!It puzzles me that he suggests the NuX is a clone of his design despite the fact that he's holding the PCB in his hand and it's obvious the NuX has an 8-pin DIP IC yet the Vertex pedal doesn't have any ICs....
Does he not know what his own circuit looks like?
I really like watching Rhett Shull on YouTube but the fact that he associates with this charlatan irks meIt puzzles me that he suggests the NuX is a clone of his design despite the fact that he's holding the PCB in his hand and it's obvious the NuX has an 8-pin DIP IC yet the Vertex pedal doesn't have any ICs....

I will wait for your version of the FTT String Slinger and build that.

Are we going to see the Free The Tone version any time soon?
But what about the case???

I forgot all about their hilarious claims. Reading the stuff on their site again just gave my eyeballs ulcers— just five minutes of the page for the SS-1V exceeded my monthly capacity for bullshit to such an extent that I may never recover.But what about the case???

That's incredible. Just when you think there's no more bullshit left in the bullshit mine, someone finds a fresh vein.

They sound like their Slingin' something!!!
I've been hunting, trying to find the mythical knobs!
I've got close but no Cigar.
For the Price, they should be brilliant :
