Electro-Harmonix Battalion

The Battalion is a comprehensive bass preamp/overdrive/DI pedal designed for both studio and stage use. It combines a 4-band EQ, switchable distortion (with Drive, Blend, and Tone controls), a built-in noise gate, and an XLR DI output, making it a true control center for bass tone. Capable of shifting from a solid, defined clean sound to an aggressive, modern overdrive, the Battalion is prized for its versatility, power, and ability to easily integrate into a pedalboard or directly into a mixing console, particularly for rock, metal, and styles requiring a precise and punchy low end.
