Designed for electric bass players, the Electro-Harmonix Nano Battalion is a bass preamp, overdrive, and EQ pedal. It sports a MOSFET drive circuit that can give you a subtle growl or a heavily saturated overdrive. Set the drive knob however you like, and then mix it in with clean signal using the Blend knob. A Tone knob mitigates brightness in the distorted signal path.

The Nano Battalion's EQ circuit can be switched into the signal path in three different places. You can affect only the drive circuit, the clean signal, or both together by means of the EQ Position switch. The EQ itself sports knobs for bass and treble and a switch for the midrange. Turn the effect on with the engage/bypass footswitch.

The Nano Battalion accepts 1/4' instrument inputs, and its 1/4' output can provide both unbalanced TS connections to amplifiers or balanced TRS connections to mixing consoles, DI Boxes, and house PA systems. A power supply is included.
