Description
Allow JustPedals to introduce the Electronic Audio Experiments Halberd V2 Overdrive Pedal
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
Specifications
- Bypass switching: Silent electronic switching with a Class A JFET buffer
- Input impedance @ 1Khz: 1MΩ
- Output impedance @ 1Khz: <1KΩ
- Power: 9VDC, 2.1mm center negative barrel. The current draw is 50mA.
- We recommend a regulated, isolated power supply rated for 100 mA minimum. The DC input is protected against reverse polarity and over-voltage up to 24V. Our pedals do not accept batteries.
