NANO OPERATION OVERLORD
Multi-Instrumental Overdrive
Congratulations on your purchase of the NANO OPERATION OVERLORD, a
compact full-featured overdrive and distortion pedal.
OVERLORD's broad range of options and controls you can easily dial in great
drive sounds for any instrument. Active 3-band EQ controls, switchable BOOST
mode, and a dry blend provide versatility for different tones. You can create mild
overdrive to thick distortion, crank the volume to use the pedal as a boost with
or without grit, or generate unconventional sounds like intensely filtered clipping,
all with a few straightforward controls.
WARNING: Your Nano Operation Overlord comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix
9.6DC-200BI power supply. The Nano Overlord requires 50mA at 9VDC with a center
negative plug. Use of the wrong adapter or a plug with the wrong polarity may damage
your Nano Overlord and void the warranty. Do not exceed 10.5VDC on the power plug.
Power supplies rated for less than 50mA will cause the Nano Overlord to act unreliably.
Amp-like JFET overdrive with three gain stages
Switchable boost mode for saturated distortion tones
Active 3-band EQ for ultimate control
Dry blend knob for preserving the instrument's harmonic content, character,
and full frequency range
Three-position input level sets the gain range perfectly for any instrument
High-quality buffered bypass and soft switching

- MODES OF OPERATION: NORMAL VS. BOOST -

The NANO OVERLORD operates in two modes: NORMAL and BOOST. The
NORMAL mode uses three amp-like JFET gain stages for low to medium gain
sounds. The BOOST mode adds a classic pedal-style overdrive circuit before the
JFET stages to increase overall distortion. BOOST is engaged with the BOOST
pushbutton or an external momentary footswitch, and is active when the blue
LED is lit. In BOOST mode, a fixed amount of additional gain from the BOOST
circuit is fed into the main JFET circuit. The GAIN knob still controls the amount
of overdrive in BOOST mode, with more overall distortion on tap.
