Product Information
Full details
This guide is for guitarists looking to recreate the classic overdrive tones of the 1970s. The Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes Nano Overdrive offers the iconic sound in a compact design, providing a wide range of tonal shaping from gentle rasp to full-blown gain. However, it's important to note that, like the original, its sensitivity means that settings will need to be adjusted based on the guitar and pickup type being used.
