Amazon Basics Pedals (possibly rebranded Nux)

I found out about this on TGP. Apparently, one was taken apart and had a Nux circuit board. I assume it's an OEM relationship?

I just saw them a few minutes ago. I was trying to see if anyone knew who they were re-brands of. I don't particularly need any of them right now.

Yup some people are claiming they are all Nux based on the one example having been taken apart and similarities from the Amazon line to what Nux offers. I'd say it's more likely they'd do it all with Nux than not. So for now I'd say the safest bet is that it's all rebranded Nux.

These offerings don't really fall into my buying strategy.

If I didn't have all the inexpensive pedals I need I would probably give these a try, maybe a looper but probably not. My problem is this appears to have dropped in August and has mostly stellar reviews (a couple not 5 stars) ( I don't bet my life on reviews, especially Amazon ("These product bring joy to day, best")))))
But everyone of the review is "Vine Customer Review of Free Product". I read about the vine program, I understand it and the desire for reviews. It just feels too political and BS to me.

Bought the nux stereo chorus a few years back. Delay when switching and a pop sometimes, been back in the box since.

That's a perfect example of my fears.

I swore off them mini Chinese pedals a long time ago. Most of them suck tone. The ones I had, at least.

I've had good experiences with XVIVE. I found a few selling below average prices on Amazon (posted about them here). I seem to recall XVIVE hires better-known designers to work on their pedals but makes them abroad. So for example, they have a bitbucket delay from someone who worked on the Memory Man. And Thomas Blug had some input on a few pedals (the Bluguitar amp dude) although it's not clear to me his level of involvement.

Have the NUX Time Core. The battery snap never worked. Otherwise, it's really pretty solid. I have had some pretty good success with other cheap Chinese knockoffs too. My $25 Mosky OCD knockoff is fabulous.

Gear Gods did a video 2 out of the 3 where NUX's.
