Unleash a world of bass tones with the Electro-Harmonix Nano Battalion Bass Preamp and Overdrive. This compact powerhouse is designed for both active and passive basses, offering a versatile MOSFET drive circuit that ranges from subtle overdrive to heavy, saturated distortion. Encased in a durable, pedalboard-friendly chassis, the Nano Battalion is perfect for both studio sessions and live gigs.

This pedal features a 3-band EQ with three EQ position modes, allowing you to tailor your sound with precision. Whether you want to shape your tone before or after distortion, or even affect only the clean signal, the Nano Battalion has got you covered. The EQ includes dedicated controls for Treble, Bass, and a Mid switch, adding to your arsenal of sound-shaping tools.

For seamless integration into any setup, the Nano Battalion is equipped with a ¼" output jack that provides both unbalanced and balanced signals, ensuring compatibility with amplifiers, mixers, and recording interfaces.
