ORIGIN EFFECTS, HALCYON gold overdrive

Description

The Halcyon Gold Overdrive is a classic overdrive pedal based on the Klon® Centaur® and features our exclusive Adaptive Circuit. This unique design allows it to adjust its voice in response to peak attack and volume changes, making it one of the most dynamic and interactive overdrives available. We’ve done our best to recreate the famous half-advance voice and exact characteristics of the unattainable vintage diodes, but we’ve also incorporated some innovative features that go beyond the capabilities of the original.

The party trick of the Halcyon Gold Overdrive is the ADAPT switch. This allows the pedal’s forward mid-voicing to gradually fade as the pedal gets cleaner, giving you that classic Klon® tone with your guitar up, but revealing the full spectrum of your clean tone when you roll back the volume knob. .

The DRY control allows you to adjust the level of the dry signal that makes up this classic drive tone. The Dry The control can be turned up to add body and definition when amplifying a low-gain amp sound, or turned down to get the most out of this pedal’s higher-gain tones, especially when using a clean amplifier.

The VOICE switch gives you the option to select the classic Klon® mid-hump or a smoother, more balanced one. show. The KLN setting is simply the standard voicing, while the MOD setting involves a wider mid-bump and a softer, more compressed Clipping characteristic. The MOD setting is particularly suitable for single-coil pickups and higher gain tones in combination with very clean amp sounds.
