Electro-Harmonix Nano Battalion Bass Preamp and Overdrive Pedal

How can you elevate your bass guitar performance? With the Electro-Harmonix Nano Battalion Bass Preamp and Overdrive Pedal, a powerful and versatile tool designed for musicians who demand quality and flexibility. This innovative device combines a bass preamp and overdrive pedal into one compact, durable unit, offering an impressive range of bass tones thanks to its all-analog circuitry.

At the heart of the Nano Battalion is a versatile MOSFET drive circuit, capable of delivering everything from a subtle, light overdrive to a fully saturated distortion. This forms the core of the pedal's sound, allowing you to shape your tone to suit any musical style or genre.

The Nano Battalion also features a three-band EQ with three EQ position modes, providing maximum flexibility and sound shaping control. The EQ includes Treble and Bass controls for boosting or cutting frequencies above 1kHz and below 200Hz respectively, as well as a Mid switch for a 9dB boost or cut at 500Hz.

Three signal path options determine where the EQ is applied. In Distortion Mode, the EQ comes after the distorted signal, affecting its timbre while leaving the clean signal untouched. Input Mode places the EQ first in the signal path, affecting both the clean and distorted signals. Boosting frequencies in this mode can drive the distortion to a more saturated state. In Dry Mode, the EQ affects the clean signal, but not the distorted signal.

The Nano Battalion is equipped with a 1/4" input jack and 1/4" output jack. When a normal TS cable is connected to the output jack, it delivers an unbalanced signal. However, when a TRS cable is plugged into this jack, it outputs a balanced signal that can go directly into a mixing console or recording interface.

Additional features include a Bypass Footswitch & LED that illuminates when the effect is engaged, a Drive Knob for setting the intensity and saturation of the distortion, a Blend Knob for setting the ratio between clean signal and distorted signal, and a Tone Knob for cutting high frequencies from the distortion.

In short, the Electro-Harmonix Nano Battalion Bass Preamp and Overdrive Pedal is a high-quality, innovative tool that offers powerful performance and versatile sound shaping options for bass players.
