NUX Hook Mini Looper Pedal - Auto Recording & Drums | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The NUX Hook is a compact looper pedal that combines intelligent recording technology with built-in drum tracks in an ultra-portable design. This mini looper features innovative Auto Recording mode that begins capturing your performance the moment you start playing, eliminating timing guesswork for seamless loop creation. Perfect for beginner to intermediate guitarists who want professional-quality looping capabilities without complex operation or pedalboard real estate concerns.
Product Overview
The Hook's compact aluminum housing delivers professional-grade 24-bit/44.1kHz audio recording in a pedal smaller than most smartphone cases. Its dual recording modes provide flexibility for different playing styles and skill levels, while the intuitive single-footswitch operation keeps the learning curve minimal. The pedal's high-quality analog-to-digital conversion ensures pristine audio capture with excellent frequency response and low noise floor.
Independent drum track functionality allows rhythm patterns to start and stop without affecting your recorded loops, providing musical backing that enhances practice sessions and songwriting. The built-in headphone output enables silent practice anywhere, making the Hook ideal for apartment dwellers and traveling musicians. USB-C connectivity supports firmware updates and audio file import/export through the included Hook Editor software.
Advanced bypass switching offers both true bypass and analog dry-through modes, ensuring optimal signal integrity whether the pedal is engaged or bypassed. The compact form factor and low power consumption make the Hook an excellent choice for minimalist pedalboards and battery-powered setups.
