Electro-Harmonix has unveiled the Nano Operation Overlord, a compact version of the company’s Operation Overlord Allied Overdrive effect pedal.

The incredibly versatile stompbox sports a three-position input switch (hi, norm, low) for compatibility with guitar, bass, keys and most other instruments, as well as foot-switchable Normal (three JFET gain stages) and Boost (classic pedal-type overdrive circuit before the JFET stages) modes for distortion ranging from boost to mild crunch to intensely saturated overdrive.
