Building your guitar tone: training project with ShapeYourTone and NUX

ShapeYourTone, in collaboration with Frenexport and NUX, is kicking off a training project dedicated to all guitarists eager to improve their sound and thoroughly understand how to use effects, pedals and power supplies most effectively. 

On Sunday, March 9, 2025, at the music school Musica senza confini in Coazze, the first of what we hope will become a long series of educational clinics dedicated to the universe of electric guitar sound was held. 

A day between theory and practice to sculpt your sound, step by step.

Morning Session

Ale from ShapeYourTone kicked things off with a deep dive into the theory behind guitar tone: from signal chain basics to key effects, and how to place and manage everything in a real-world setup.

Afternoon Session

With gear provided by NUX (pedals, power supplies, boards, and accessories), each participant got to build and experiment with their own effects chain – putting the theory into action and hearing the difference for themselves.

The Stars of the Clinic: NUX Pedals & Gear

During the hands-on afternoon, attendees had the chance to try out a sweet selection of NUX pedals, thanks to Frenexport.

Pedals featured:

  • Core Deluxe mkII Series – Modern, flexible, and reliable: perfect for today’s guitarist looking for top-notch tone options.
  • Reissue Series – Vintage-inspired classics, for that retro flavor every tone nerd loves.
  • Mini Core Series – Compact yet mighty, great for those who want a small, smart board without sacrificing sound quality.

Power & Pedalboard:

  • NUX Zeus Jr – A small but beastly power supply: quiet, powerful, and ideal for complex pedal setups.
  • Bumblebee Pedalboard – A solid, versatile board that let everyone build their dream signal chain freely and easily.

With all this awesome gear, each guitarist was able to craft their own sound and really hear what worked for their unique style.

The event is fully replicable and designed to be super accessible for schools, associations, and music spaces that want to offer their students a hands-on, inspiring learning opportunity.
