Origin Effects Halcyon Blue Overdrive
Elevate your tone with the Origin Effects Halcyon Blue Overdrive, a pedal that masterfully revives the iconic ’90s Bluesbreaker® sound with modern enhancements. Designed for guitarists seeking rich, articulate overdrive, the Halcyon Blue offers unparalleled responsiveness and versatility.
Adaptive Circuitry for Dynamic Play
At the heart of the Halcyon Blue is Origin Effects’ proprietary Adaptive Circuitry. This innovative feature adjusts the pedal’s midrange boost in response to your playing dynamics and volume knob changes, delivering a seamless transition from overdriven tones to full-range cleans as you roll back your guitar’s volume. Experience a more expressive and interactive connection with your instrument.
Classic Bluesbreaker® Tone with Modern Flexibility
Inspired by the early ’90s Marshall® Bluesbreaker® pedal, the Halcyon Blue employs a soft-clipping circuit with a broad midrange emphasis, capturing the thick, articulate tones that made the original a legend. Whether you’re aiming for amp-like edge-of-breakup sounds or pushing your amplifier into rich overdrive, this pedal maintains clarity and definition.
Enhanced Features for Tailored Sound
- MOD Setting: Engage the MOD mode via the VOICE switch to access a modified drive character with increased gain and a warmer frequency response, perfect for adding depth to single-coil pickups or achieving lush humbucker lead tones.
- DRY Control: Blend in your dry, unaffected signal to fine-tune the overdrive effect, preserving dynamics and clarity when boosting an overdriven amp or crafting a more compressed drive sound with clean tones.
