Electronic Audio Experiments Halberd V2 Overdrive Pedal

Dynamic Overdrive with Expansive Harmonics

The Electronic Audio Experiments Halberd V2 is a discrete transistor overdrive designed for maximum dynamic range and harmonic richness. Unlike traditional op-amp distortions or JFET amp emulations, Halberd V2 delivers a medium-gain drive with the fullness and grit of a high-gain pedal, making it equally suited for guitar, bass, and synthesizer.

Special Features:

• Three Drive Voicings:

  • Clang: Boosts upper mids for sharp attack and aggressive tone.

  • Standard: Balanced gain with a gentle mid push, identical to Halberd V1.

  • Deep: Full-range gain boost with woolly saturation and fuzzy note attack.

• Discrete Transistor Circuit: Over a dozen transistors work in harmony to create a unique, responsive drive.

• Optimized Power Supply: Internal 24V headroom ensures clarity and dynamic response.

• Transparent Electronic Switching: Silent bypass with a Class A JFET buffer for full signal integrity.
