Adapted for you
The star of the show. This all-new circuitry is built to grant you dynamic control of your sound while using overdrive, so you can roll off the saturation without having to switch off the pedal. On classic overdrives you could cut your volume, but you were sometimes left with a nasal-like, thin clean sound.
The adaptive circuit of the Halcyon solves this by gradually fading away as the pedal cleans up, so if you're playing softly or reducing the guitar volume, you still gain the rich spectrum of clean tones to sample - without having to adjust anything on the pedal! In essence, your pick attack and volume settings control how "on" the pedal is.
Let your amp scream
Furious howls. It's a classic overdrive that's famed for pushing amps to breaking point, and rewards players with that mid-focused tone bump to blast through a mix. All those sounds are present and correct on the Halcyon, but it goes further than just being a simple tone clone. You've got that classic crunch, sure, but with a dry control and voicing switch you can access a whole new set of sonics.
The dry control allows to you let more of your clean signal pass through, great for tightening up the sound and revealing the natural character of your guitar. Along with that are settings for the adaptive circuitry two voicings, 808 and MOD. 808 is the standard, familiar mid-hump roar of classic drives, whereas MOD introduces brighter presence peaks that can focus high-gain outputs. It also works great with humbuckers, granting extra bite to thicker textures.
Gig ready build quality
Ready for the road. Whether you're gigging, jamming or recording, you can be sure the Halcyon is up to the task. A sturdy housing and durable, high-quality switch ensure reliable performance, no matter how hard you push it. Along with that, buffered bypass means your signal is preserved in those long FX chains, and together with top mounted jacks and a compact design, it'll slot right into your pedalboard.
