ehx battalion Nano

[danbowskill]

I wasn't that interested in the original battalion but this nano version looks like it would make a very nice overdrive pedal https://www.ehx.com/products/nano-battalion

Anyone had a blast on one yet?

Interesting.. I have the battalion and I love it it’s the only pedal I have in my chain beside my tuner now... would like to see how this compares.. only £30 cheaper than the bigger brother though.

Might be great for those who have a preamp they like and use already ,to have this as their drive pedal.... got some nice features in little board real estate

Anyone using this as a on/off drive in their chain?

I had the original big battalion for a short while. Decent sounding with a passive P bass, not so much with an active J. Am sure of you want it as a drive for a passive bass it will sound great, I personally couldn't get on with the bass soul food but the Batallion drive was a lot more bass appropriate for me (my playing, my kit) so am sure it would do a decent job for you.

I had a bunch of tabs open and accidentally posted in the wrong thread.

Just got one, it sounds great, and perfect for boosting the B3k..... A bit like a more tweakable bb preamp.

What would you say is better for full on overdrive - the Battalion or B3K?

Its horses for courses really 🤷‍♂️. Im not found of either type circuit full on (like a rat or muff for that).

Both would need some blend at full tilt. The Ehx would cut better in the mix maxed but the B3k has a better sound.

Ha, ironic but I think the Rat and Muff are a bit poo when trying to cut through. The fact that you need a blend pedal to make them work highlights the issue!
