The Halcyon Blue Overdrive is a low-to-mid gain drive pedal, equipped with our proprietary Adaptive Circuitry.

Inspired by the early '90s Marshall Blues Breaker pedal, the Halcyon Blue Overdrive's soft-clipping circuit and broad midrange emphasis deliver the thick, articulate tones that made the Blues Breaker 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 our VOICE switch, and you have a classic overdrive tone with more nuance and responsiveness than ever before.

The Halcyon Blue Overdrive's party trick is its ADAPT switch. This allows the pedal's boosted midrange to gradually fade away as the pedal cleans up, giving you classic Blues Breaker tone with your guitar cranked, but revealing the full spectrum of your clean tone as you roll back the volume knob. This breakthrough feature means you never have to tread that fine line, wondering if your drive pedal should be on or off.

The Blues Breaker has been the starting point for many highly-regarded overdrive pedals and the Halcyon Blue Overdrive's MOD setting on the VOICE switch is our own take on the modded Blues Breaker 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 our exacting high standards, the Halcyon Blue Overdrive is our tip of the hat to a unique and musical overdrive tone, taken to new heights of playability.

Features:

- Adaptive Circuitry responds to volume changes and playing dynamics
- Based on the original Marshall Blues Breaker 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
