The Nebula Advanced Overdrive is the next step in analog tone. The NAO allows you to sculpt your entire signal chain instead of just what’s going into the amps input. Think of it as a tool that "moves" all the warmth and low end that your cutting on the way into the amp to a point where it can be used to your advantage.

No longer do you have to sacrifice low end and fullness to get a tight aggressive tone from your amp, preamp or modeler. The NAO has been specifically designed for getting optimum results from your setup.

But the low end shaping is just the beginning of it.

For the drive section, we’ve started completely from scratch with a basic overdrive and then went absolutely off the wall from there!! Featured in the clipping section is a fully adjustable parametric eq. Unlike others on the market that can only sweep through a preset range with no adjustments of the level or Q, we’ve added our Target Mids parametric right into the overdrives signal chain. This allows you to not only find the sweet spot of your amps mid frequencies, but also lets you dial in just how squished and clipped those frequencies are.

After this, we get to a classic tubescreamer tone control, but with three selectable frequency ranges. This lets you fine tune any harshness brought on by aggressively boosting Mids or add even more bite.

On top of these things, there are also controls for Tight and Clipping with each having three positions.

Finally, the second stage of the NAO features its own isolated Muscle section. This gets placed in the effects loop in order to mold your low end, not destroy it. It can achieve this by working with your own amps design and filtering, allowing you to have a tight, biting tone but retain its warmth and thickness.
