Electro-Harmonix Nano Operation Overlord Allied Overdrive Pedal

About Electro-Harmonix Nano Operation Overlord A super versatile overdrive ready for your guitar, bass or keys! A nano-sized version of the Operation Overlord with the same great overdrive and distortion tones, but in mono for those who don’t require stereo ins/outs. It’s super versatile and ready for your axe be it guitar, bass or keys. The EHX Nano Overlord is switchable between two modes: Normal and Boost. Normal mode provides low to medium gain sounds and relies on three amp-like JFET gain stages. When Boost mode is engaged it’s like adding a pedal-type OD circuit in front of the JFET stages to really increase overall distortion. The pedal also features a Dry blend control which is invaluable for bass and keyboards, a 3-position input level selector switch and an active 3-band EQ. Boost Button And Blue LED Toggles Boost mode on and off. When in Boost mode, the blue LED will be lit. Input LVL Switch This switch controls the initial input level of your instrument.
