Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes Overdrive Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes Nano Overdrive Pedal Overview
The Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes Nano Overdrive Pedal is a compact and powerful overdrive pedal designed to bring the rich, dynamic sound of the classic 1970s CMOS Hot Tubes pedal to modern guitarists. This pedal is ideal for players seeking a responsive overdrive that reacts to their playing style, delivering everything from smooth, clean tones to aggressive distortion. With its responsive dynamics, the Hot Tubes Nano offers versatility, allowing you to create a wide range of tones that range from vintage warmth to heavy grit, making it a must-have for anyone looking to add edge to their electric guitar sound.

Responsive to Playing Dynamics
One of the key features of the Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes Nano is its remarkable responsiveness to your playing dynamics. Just like a classic tube amplifier, the more you dig into your playing, the more aggressive the overdrive becomes. When you back off the volume control, the pedal cleans up, giving you a smoother, more refined tone. This touch sensitivity makes it easy to go from clean to distorted tones without touching any knobs, simply by adjusting your picking intensity. Whether you’re going for light, warm overdrive or pushing your amp into full-on saturation, the Hot Tubes Nano responds precisely to your playing style.

Tone Circuit Bypass for Pure Signal
For guitarists who prefer an uncolored signal path, the Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes Nano includes a tone circuit bypass switch. This feature allows you to remove the tone circuit entirely from the signal path, providing a cleaner, more direct sound. Whether you want to use the pedal to add a subtle warmth or push it for heavy distortion, the bypass switch ensures that you have complete control over how much of the pedal’s tonal shaping you want to apply. This is a great option for players who want to preserve the integrity of their guitar’s natural tone while still utilizing the pedal’s overdrive capabilities.

True Bypass for Maximum Signal Integrity
The Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes Nano Overdrive Pedal is built with true bypass technology, which means that when the pedal is turned off, it does not affect your guitar’s signal. This ensures that your tone remains pure and unaffected by the pedal when not in use. True bypass switching is a must for serious musicians who want to maintain the quality of their sound and avoid any unwanted coloration that can be caused by traditional bypass circuits. Whether you’re playing clean or using the pedal for overdrive, you can count on the Hot Tubes Nano to maintain the clarity and integrity of your original signal.

Compact, Durable Design
Despite its compact size, the Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes Nano is housed in a rugged die-cast chassis, making it built to last. This durable construction ensures that the pedal can withstand the rigors of live performances and studio use. Its small size also makes it easy to integrate into your pedalboard setup, saving valuable space without sacrificing functionality. Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, the Hot Tubes Nano is designed to withstand frequent use, giving you reliable performance for years to come.

9V Operation for Convenience
The Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes Nano operates on a 9V battery, which is included with the pedal. For added convenience, it can also be powered by an optional AC adapter (sold separately). The 9V power requirement makes it compatible with a wide range of power supplies, ensuring that you can easily incorporate it into your existing rig without hassle. Whether you're using it with a battery or a power adapter, the Hot Tubes Nano offers flexibility in powering your setup, allowing you to focus on your performance without worrying about power issues.
