Unleash the power of your guitar, bass, or keys with the Electro-Harmonix Nano Operation Overlord, a compact yet potent overdrive pedal that delivers a wide spectrum of sonic possibilities. This nano-sized version of the revered Operation Overlord retains the same exceptional overdrive and distortion tones but comes in a mono design for those who prefer a single-channel setup.

The Nano Operation Overlord operates in two distinct modes: Normal and Boost. The Normal mode, with its three JFET gain stages, offers low to medium gain sounds that emulate the warm, dynamic response of tube amplifiers. Engage the Boost mode, and you're adding a pedal-type overdrive circuit before the JFET stages, escalating the overall distortion to a higher level of intensity.

What sets this pedal apart is its Dry blend control, invaluable for bass and keyboards, as it lets you retain your instrument's articulation, harmonic content, and bottom end. Add to this a 3-position input level selector switch and an active 3-band EQ, and you have an incredibly versatile tone-shaping tool at your disposal.

Key Features:

• Amplifier-like JFET overdrive with three gain levels
• Switchable Boost mode for saturated distortion sounds
• Dry blend control to preserve the harmonic content and full frequency range of an instrument
• Active 3-band EQ for precise tone shaping
• Controls: Gain, Dry, Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble
• 3-position input level switch for optimal gain staging
• LED indicators for Effect On and Boost On
• Compact, pedalboard-friendly design
• Power supply with a 9V DC mains adapter (included)
