Description

Here's what Electro Harmonix say about the Nano Operation Overlord Allied Overdrive:

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.

“The Overlord will likely strike many as a bounteous, ultra-affordable one-stop option for adding dirt and/or dBs to both guitar and bass.” – Premier Guitar

Simple, powerful, and essential on any board, a boost pedal can turn a good tone into a great one with just one stomp.

By pushing your signal into rich harmonic saturation, they create thick, sustaining sounds that cut through any mix.
