FETTO Nord+: Feel the Authentic Sound

NATURAL OVERDRIVE & BOOST

FETTO Nord+ is an overdrive pedal designed for emphasising the best parts of your guitar and amplifier. It was developed in close cooperation with Swedish musician and producer Mikael Nord Andersson. Traditional craftsmanship meets thoughtful design. It takes inspiration from the classic tones of cranked Marshall amps with a master volume and the HIWATT DR103 with an non-colouring overdrive in front of it; it means it maintains a neutral character, enhancing your amplifier’s natural voice without overwhelming it. Hand-built with precision, the FETTO Nord+ is a reliable tool offering a natural extension of your sound.

This completely analogue pedal is built using discrete valve-emulating components to preserve the integrity of your tone. It’s designed for clarity- and responsiveness-minded guitarists who want every note they play to come through with the quality and detail it had when it left their fingers.

The FETTO Nord+ doesn’t stamp its own sound but works in conjunction with your setup to allow a more expressive and dynamic playing experience.

Note: If you want similar, great overdrive sounds—check out FETTO Custom or FETTO Jr. If this ain't good enough for you—as you need it straight seventies—check out FETTO Nord 70 or FETTO Jr. 70!

Comparing FETTO Nord+ with FETTO Junior

Distinctive String Separation and Dynamic Response

The strength of the FETTO Nord+ lies in how it can maintain clear string separation and dynamic response even at higher gain settings. It will keep each string distinct in intricate chords or single-note runs, giving you a clean and articulate sound. That quality is similar to a well-maintained vintage valve amplifier where every nuance of your playing is preserved.
 
The FETTO Nord+ has quite a wide dynamic range, responding with subtlety to your picking dynamics. Depending on how you play, from subtle overdrive to full-bodied distortion, it is responsive to your picking dynamics. This sensitivity of touch lets you push yourself in better expression, and it makes it easier to get exactly the tone you want without being forced to constantly readjust settings.

Fine-Tune Your Tone with Precision

With the FETTO Nord+, there’s a whole host of controls that enable you to carve your tone with precision. That includes two foot-switches: one for true bypass to ensure crystal-clear retention of your signal when the pedal is turned off, and another for an independent Class A booster circuit. The booster can be either engaged along with the overdrive portion or solo for maximum flexibility in approaching your sound.

Two toggle switches on this handcrafted pedal provide supplemental means of shaping the tone. These switches allow switching between three mid-range settings and three presence settings, which easily dials appropriate sounds for any musical situation. Need a cut-through-the-mix or a back-of-the-mix type of tone? FETTO Nord+ has got the tools for you.

FETTO Nord Plus— Distinctive String Separation and Dynamic Response!
Pure Analogue Design for Natural Sound]

The FETTO Nord+ is designed to be a pure analogue design; natural and uncoloured. Discrete valve-emulating components combine to give warmth and responsiveness reminiscent of classic valve amplifiers. There are no digital components in the signal path, allowing your tone to retain its original character, with all the richness and detail afforded by analogue circuits.

That means it’s put on analog design, and thus, the FETTO Nord+ works to make your guitar and amplifier sound better, rather than different. The FETTO Nord+ comes designed to work in concert with your set-up, amplifying the natural dynamics and harmonics of your instrument without adding in any artificial elements. Clean, slightly overdriven, or fully saturated, the sound is organic and native to your gear.

Versatility and Practical Control Options]

The FETTO Nord+ is more than an overdrive; it is also a very versatile tool for different playing environments. An independent Class A booster circuit gives more flexibility to add more gain or volume when needed. Depending on how you set it up, the boost can drive the overdrive harder or give you a clean boost for solos and other standout moments.

Inside, the pedal has provision for placing the boost either before or after the overdrive, enabling a range of tonal possibilities. Placed before overdrive, it adds extra saturation and sustain, making it perfect for solo playing. Placed afterward, it gives you the much needed volume boost that will help your solos cut through the mix. This makes the FETTO Nord+ an extremely practical pedal for a guitarist in need of covering a wide array of tonal needs with just one pedal.
