Description
The EHX Nano Signal Pad solves a problem every gigging guitarist knows: your amp’s overdrive sounds perfect cranked up, but the stage volume isn’t always cooperative. Rather than another gain stage or tone-shaping circuit, the Signal Pad is a fully passive attenuator that acts like a footswitchable volume knob sitting in your signal chain. Dial your amp in loud for that natural tube breakup, then stomp the Signal Pad to drop your level for clean passages—switch it off again and the amp’s own overdrive comes roaring back.
Because the circuit is passive and color-free, it doesn’t add hum, hiss, or tonal artifacts—what goes in comes out, just quieter. That transparency makes it useful well beyond a simple volume trim. Drop it in front of a drive pedal to soften how hard it’s hit, or place it after a fuzz or delay to reshape how that effect responds to level changes. Guitarists running single-channel amps often use it to fake a two-channel rig, jumping between rhythm and lead tones with one tap.
- Turns any single-channel amp into an effective two-channel setup
- Instantly switch between lead and rhythm volume levels mid-song
- Place before or after any effect to alter how that pedal responds to signal level
- True bypass preserves your tone when the pedal is off
- Runs on the included 9V battery
- Housed in EHX’s compact Nano enclosure for easy pedalboard placement
Simple, honest, and endlessly useful—the Signal Pad earns its spot on the board not by adding sound, but by giving you control over the sound you already have.
