Controls - Electro-Harmonix NANO OPERATION OVERLORD Manual

GAIN Knob – The GAIN knob controls the amount of overdrive/distortion. As
you turn GAIN clockwise, the amount of input gain increases.
DRY Knob – The DRY knob mixes a clean unaltered signal with the distortion
produced by the NANO OVERLORD. At the minimum position of the DRY knob,
the output is 100% overdrive effect, and at the maximum position the output is
100% clean. This function is useful for preserving the harmonic integrity of your
playing, which is especially important for keyboards or bass. For guitarists, this
feature can be useful if you are stacking the NANO OVERLORD with other drive
pedals, or playing it through an overdriven amplifier.
INPUT LVL Switch – This switch controls the initial input level of your
instrument into the NANO OVERLORD. Use it to set an appropriate gain level for
a variety of instruments. Set the switch to HI for low-level instruments, like a
single-coil guitar or vintage electric piano. Set the switch to NORM for
humbucker guitars and most modern keyboard workstations. Use the LO setting
for high-output instruments, like some synthesizers or boosted guitars.
Tip: The GAIN Knob, INPUT LVL switch, and DRY knob all work together. If
the INPUT LVL switch is set properly, turning the DRY knob should not
significantly change the overall volume. However, varied settings of the INPUT
LVL switch could produce some interesting higher- or lower-gain sounds. Feel
free to experiment with this switch – setting it "wrong" might sound great for
you, and won't damage the circuit!
BASS Knob – Active control of the level of the bass frequency range.
MID Knob – Active control of the level of the middle frequency range.
TREBLE Knob – Active control of the level of the treble frequency range.
VOL Knob – This knob controls the overall volume output of the NANO
OVERLORD. As this knob is turned clockwise, the output level increases.
Footswitch and red LED – This footswitch selects whether the NANO
OVERLORD is engaged or in buffered bypass mode. When the effect is engaged,
the red LED will be lit.
BOOST Button and blue LED – This button toggles Boost mode on and off.
When in Boost mode, the blue LED will be lit.
