We are an Authorized U.S. Nordvang Dealer, and $344 is your total checkout amount here for a brand new Nordvang Mid Air overdrive pedal (blue/green color), from Denmark!

Nordvang wanted to capture the tone and feel of the Tube Screamer overdrive side from their Gravity pedal in the Mid Air overdrive pedal, while adding a layer of functionality. So instead of making a regular single Tube Screamer style overdrive pedal, they set out to create a new pedal-design-platform, with stacked PCBs, that would allow them to squeeze as much “TONE” as possible into a compact sized enclosure, and at the same time serve as a platform for future pedals. The Mid Air pedal accomplishes this, plus they added a boost circuit, which can be used alone, or with the overdrive, so Mid Air is 2 pedals in one!

Nordvang decided on the Hammond 1590B3, which is a size between the classic 1590B and 1590BB. This allowed them to add an extra footswitch, for a separate boost circuit, plus 5 knobs and two toggle switches.

TS CIRCUIT...

The Tube Screamer (TS) circuit in Nordvang Mid Air stays true to the OG TS-10, and nails those classic mid pushed tones. They added some features, making it more versatile and appealing, even to those that might not dig a classic TS.

On the front of Mid Air, in addition to the standard drive, tone, and level knobs, you will also find the “air” knob. This controls the cutoff frequency of the overdrive section, and enables you to push the classic TS mid-hump to higher frequencies, giving you a glassier tone.

On the other end of the spectrum, the “lows” toggle switch on Mid Air gives you two additional levels of low-end boost. Unscrew the lid and you will find a 4-way dipswitch for further tweaking the tone of the TS side.

1. Clean output boost: If you primarily use the TS at a lower gain setting and always wished you had a tad extra output on tab, this is for you.
2. Clipping: Open setting, removes the clipping diodes from the circuit, if you seek the most dynamics and least compression.
3. Clipping Dipswitch 3 and 4: Gives you a variety of clipping diode settings. Choose between symmetrical clipping, using either 2 or 4 diodes, or 2 different options for a 3-diode asymmetrical clipping structure, with the higher clipping threshold on either the positive or negative half cycle.
4. Clipping: See #3

BOOST...

The Mid Air pedal boost circuit is pre-drive, and can be used independent of the main drive circuit. It’s a “clean” boost, built around an op-amp, and not meant to color or change your tone, but give you more of what you already got. The boost knob controls the gain of the boost circuit, from unity with the gain at minimum, to an 18dB boost, with the gain knob at max. On the front you also find a 3-position toggle switch labeled “eq”, which gives you 3 different voicings to choose from on Mid Air... Full frequency, low-mids, and high-mids.

BUFFER...
Instead of just going with the buffered bypass from the TS-10, which consists of 3 NPN transistor buffer stages in series, Nordvang Custom took another route. They took inspiration from their Gravity pedal, where both the TS and the K-circuit have buffered bypass, which means that with the pedal “off”, you have two buffers in series. We really like the buffered tone of the TS transistor, buffer followed by the K-circuits op-amp buffer.

Nordvang Mid Air's new buffer circuit consists of an NPN transistor input buffer, with an input impedance of 510K Ohm, like a TS, followed by an op-amp output buffer stage, with an output impedance of 100 Ohm. Because not every guitarist likes a buffer, and in some situations, true bypass is preferred, Nordvang wanted to make the buffer switchable. This is done via a dip switch found on the inside. As an extra feature, if the pedal is set to “buffered bypass”, and if the power fails, it will automatically switch to true bypass and let signal through. This will also happen if the power fails, while the pedal is engaged.

PARTS...
Nordvang Mid Air overdrive uses highest quality components, Vishay metal film resistors, WIMA audiophile capacitors, Taiway switches, and Pure-Tone jacks.

SPECS...

• Supply current: 100 mA
• No battery operation
• Buffered or true bypass

Dimensions (including all knobs, jacks, and switches): 
L: 4.75"
W: 3.0"
H: 2.5"
Weight: 13.0oz

Power Supply (sold separately):
This pedal does not use batteries, it uses a 2.1mm plug, 9 Volt DC, Center-Negative power supply, with a minimum 100mA of delivery (like most all guitar pedals use). Any power supply higher than 9 Volt DC can damage the pedal. Nordvang recommends a quality power supply with isolated outputs.

Warranty:
Comes with Nordvang Custom's 2-year warranty, which covers defects under normal use, using a proper 9 volt power supply.

Shipping:
Ships fast! Usually same day, with Free UPS shipping in U.S. with tracking (1 biz day processing, 1-3 biz days transit time). 1 and 2-Day guaranteed shipping are also available.
