EDO SERIES · Preamp / Overdrive
Naishi
Every nuance
of your playing.
An all-analog preamp and overdrive inspired by early American amplifiers. A single preamp channel, passive three-band tone stack and two-position Response switch — from clean tones to low- and medium-gain overdrive.
BEHIND THE TONE
The character of Naishi.
American character
Dynamic cleans, warm breakup and classic overdrive.
Passive three-band EQ
Bass, Mid and Treble controls for fine-tuning your tone.
Two Response settings
Choose a tighter response or earlier breakup.
01Gain
Sets the amount of overdrive. Start at minimum and increase gradually until you reach the desired amount of drive.
02Bass / Mid / Treble
Passive three-band tone shaping. For a natural sound, make small adjustments and use all three controls together.
03Response I / II
Position I gives a tight, smooth response. Position II provides a fuller gain character with earlier breakup. Choose the setting that suits your guitar, amplifier and playing style.
04Master
Sets the final output level of the effect.
05Bypass
Relay-switched true bypass engages or bypasses the effect.
