Description

Presenting the latest addition to Origin Effects's lineup of "Halcyon" Overdrive pedals, the new Halcyon Blue. With the Halcyon Blue, A ‘90s classic overdrive pedal gets the Origin Adaptive treatment: More gain, warmth and playability. The Halcyon Blue Overdrive is a low-to-mid gain drive pedal, equipped with their proprietary Adaptive Circuitry. Inspired by the early ‘90s Marshall® Bluesbreaker® pedal, the Halcyon Blue Overdrive’s soft-clipping circuit and broad midrange emphasis deliver the thick, articulate tones that made the Bluesbreaker® famous. Get amp-like edge-of-breakup sounds into a clean amp, or push your amp further into overdrive, without losing definition. The Adaptive Circuitry in the Halcyon Blue Overdrive allows the pedal’s boosted midrange to gradually fade away as the pedal cleans up, taking you back to a full-range clean tone as you roll back the volume knob. Add in the extra gain and low-end weight from the MOD setting on their VOICE switch, and you have a classic overdrive tone with more nuance and responsiveness than ever before. Key features of the Halcyon Blue at a Glance: Adaptive circuitry responds to volume changes and playing dynamics Inspired by the original Marshall® Bluesbreaker® pedal DRY level control for extra tweakability MOD setting enables a different drive character and frequency response Ultra-high input impedance High-quality buffered bypass Premium components throughout Designed and built in England The Iconic Marshall Bluesbreaker® has been the starting point for many highly-regarded overdrive pedals and the Halcyon Blue Overdrive’s MOD setting on the VOICE switch is Origin's take on the modded Bluesbreaker® concept. This mode adds a different diode clipping characteristic, more gain and a warmer frequency response. Perfect for adding depth to single coil pickups or creating rich humbucker lead tones. This classic soft-clipping circuit retains some dry, unaffected signal as clipping occurs. The DRY control lets you tweak the level of this dry signal for even more shades of overdrive. Maintain dynamics and clarity when boosting an overdriven amp, or get a harder-edged, more compressed drive sound that works great with clean amp tones. Designed and built in the UK to Origin's exacting high standards, the Halcyon Blue Overdrive is their tip of the hat to a unique and musical overdrive tone, taken to new heights of playability. Physical Weight: 500 g (18oz) Dimensions: 124 × 58 × 64 mm (4.8 x 2.5 x 2.3 in.) L x W x H - Includes knobs and switches Electrical Input Impedance: 1 MΩ Output Impedance: 1 kΩ Current Draw: 200 mA Power Power Supply: Uses 9V DC 2.1 mm centre-negative Please note: the Halcyon Blue is powered by a mains adaptor only (not included). They've dispensed with the usual 9V battery option, both to save space and to allow us to adopt a high-current approach, yielding lower noise levels and superior tone. Origin Effects pedals are designed to deliver impeccable performance using a range of power supplies. We recommend you only use a regulated power supply specifically designed for guitar pedal applications as power supplies which do not have sufficient internal filtering can result in unwanted noise.
