FETTO Nord+
FETTO Nord+ is an overdrive pedal developed in close cooperation with Swedish musician and producer Mikael Nord Andersson. Designed to highlight the best qualities of your guitar and amplifier, it delivers natural overdrive while preserving clarity, dynamics and note definition.
Inspired by the sound of cranked Marshall amplifiers with a master volume and HIWATT DR103 amplifiers paired with a transparent overdrive, FETTO Nord+ enhances your amplifier's natural voice rather than replacing it. The result is a responsive and expressive playing experience with outstanding articulation and touch sensitivity.
Built entirely with analogue circuitry and discrete valve-emulating components, FETTO Nord+ delivers warmth, responsiveness and harmonic richness while maintaining the integrity of your original tone.
Note: If you are looking for similar overdrive tones, consider FETTO Custom or FETTO Jr. If you need a more direct seventies-inspired voice, check out FETTO Nord 70 or FETTO Jr. 70.
Distinctive String Separation & Dynamic Response
One of the defining characteristics of the FETTO Nord+ is its ability to maintain exceptional string separation and articulation, even at higher gain settings. Complex chords remain clear, and single-note lines retain focus and definition.
Its wide dynamic range responds naturally to your picking attack and guitar volume controls. From subtle breakup to rich overdrive and singing sustain, the pedal follows your playing rather than forcing you into a particular sound.
Fine-Tune Your Tone with Precision
FETTO Nord+ offers extensive control over your sound through independent overdrive and boost circuits, each with dedicated footswitching and output controls.
Two internal voicing switches provide additional tonal flexibility, allowing you to tailor midrange response and presence to suit different amplifiers, guitars and musical situations.
Whether you need a forward, cutting lead tone or a more restrained rhythm voice, FETTO Nord+ provides the tools to shape your sound with precision.
Pure Analogue Design
FETTO Nord+ is a fully analogue design built around discrete valve-emulating circuitry. There are no digital components in the signal path, allowing your guitar and amplifier to retain their natural character.
Rather than imposing its own personality, the pedal works alongside your existing rig, enhancing harmonic content, dynamics and feel while remaining transparent and musical.
Flexible Boost & Overdrive Architecture
Beyond its overdrive capabilities, FETTO Nord+ features an independent Class A boost circuit that can be used either on its own or together with the drive section.
Internal jumpers allow the boost to be positioned before or after the overdrive:
-
Boost before Drive: Increased saturation, sustain and harmonic richness.
-
Boost after Drive: Additional volume for solos and lead passages without significantly altering gain structure.
This flexible architecture makes FETTO Nord+ an effective solution for players who need multiple gain stages from a single pedal.
