Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Electro-Harmonix Nano Operation Overlord is a nano sized version of the Operation Overlord allied overdrive, delivering the same amp like overdrive and distortion tones in mono. It uses three amp style JFET gain stages and switches between Normal mode, for low to medium gain amp like drive, and Boost mode, which adds a pedal type overdrive circuit in front of the JFET stages for much higher gain and saturation. A dry blend control, invaluable for bass and keys, a three position input level switch and an active three band EQ make it highly flexible. It suits rock, hard rock and metal players who want versatile, amp like overdrive into full distortion with strong EQ control in a compact pedal.
The Revv G2 is a preamp, overdrive and distortion pedal reproducing the Green channel of Revv's Generator amplifiers, with the widest gain and EQ range in the company's pedal line. A three-way switch gives three distinct voices: Off is a full-range clean boost with the three-band EQ still active; Blue is the Green channel's signature touch-responsive breakup; and Red delivers a more authentic, amp-like saturated gain feel. On its own it is open, woody and chewy, with the dynamic response of a cranked tube amp rather than a compressed pedal distortion, which has made it a favourite of Nashville session players for its clarity and dynamics. It works equally as a classic crunch box, a boost to push a tube amp into sweet saturation, or an always-on drive, covering both rhythm and lead duty. This is the Gold finish edition of the same circuit.
