Electro-Harmonix Nano Battalion Bass Preamp & Overdrive - 3-Band EQ + MOSFET Drive | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Electro-Harmonix Nano Battalion delivers an amazing array of bass tones through all-analog circuitry featuring versatile MOSFET drive and comprehensive three-band EQ with three positioning modes. This powerful bass preamp and overdrive pedal provides everything from subtle light overdrive to fully saturated distortion, plus maximum sound shaping flexibility through Distortion, Input, and Dry EQ modes. Perfect for bassists seeking professional preamp capabilities, direct recording functionality, and extensive tonal control in a compact analog package.
Product Overview
The Nano Battalion represents Electro-Harmonix's commitment to comprehensive bass tone shaping in a sturdy, compact format that addresses the complex needs of modern bassists. The all-analog circuitry ensures warm, musical tone throughout the signal path, while the versatile MOSFET drive circuit provides exceptional range from clean preamp enhancement to heavily saturated distortion. This analog foundation maintains the natural character and dynamics that make bass tones feel alive and responsive.
The three-band EQ system with three positioning modes offers unprecedented flexibility for bass tone shaping. The EQ includes Treble control (boost/cut above 1kHz), Bass control (boost/cut below 200Hz), and a Mid switch providing 9dB boost or cut at 500Hz. The three signal path options—Distortion Mode, Input Mode, and Dry Mode—determine where the EQ is applied, allowing precise control over which signals are affected and how frequencies interact with the drive circuit.
Professional connectivity options include standard ¼" input and output jacks with intelligent signal routing. When a standard TS cable connects to the output, it delivers an unbalanced signal for traditional amplifier connection. When a TRS cable connects, it outputs a balanced signal suitable for direct connection to mixing consoles or recording interfaces, eliminating the need for separate DI boxes.

- Professional bassists needing comprehensive preamp and overdrive capabilities for studio recording
- Live performers requiring versatile bass tones from clean enhancement to saturated distortion
- Recording artists seeking direct input capabilities with balanced output for mixing consoles
