Electronic Audio Experiments Halberd V2 Overdrive Pedal
Loading...
SKU: EA-HBD
Founded in 2015 and hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, Electronic Audio Experiments are more than just a pedal manufacturer, they are "an exploration in sound and texture via electronics". The Electronic Audio Experiments Halberd is a transistor overdrive circuit designed to deliver the greatest possible dynamic range and clarity. Rich in harmonic content, this medium-gain pedal produces a thick, full sounding overdrive courtesy of a dozen transistors working in perfect harmony. Tonally, the Halberd sits somewhere between a blown-up tweed amp and an overloaded console for a sound that feels familiar but refreshingly unique too.
Controls
- Pre - This sets the overall signal gain. Lower settings impart light compression, then increasing amounts of clipping up to a fuzzy overdrive, depending on the Voice and Depth settings.
- Depth - This is an adjustable low frequency shelving filter at the input, and is very interactive with the setting of the Pre control. It can be thought of as a second gain control affecting low frequencies only.
- Tone - This is an adjustable high shelf cut at the output, helpful for taming harsher frequencies especially at high gain settings.
- Post - This sets the overall output level, and is buffered for full transparency at all signal levels.
- Voice - 3 position switch to set the overall drive character
- Clang (up) - Increases gain in the upper midrange, for an aggressive sound and a sharp attack
- Standard (middle) - Moderate gain with a gentle mid push; identical to Halberd V1
- Deep (down) - A full range gain boost with woolly saturation and a fuzzy note attack
