ORIGIN EFFECTS Halcyon Gold Overdrive

Halcyon Gold Overdrive is an overdrive pedal with a special circuit (Adaptive circuit) that allows adapting the voicing of the box to the dynamics of the pick and volume changes. If you are looking for a dynamically sensitive overdrive pedal that will respond to the subtle nuances of your playing, then the Halcyon Gold Overdrive from Origin Effects is certainly a great choice.

The design of the Halcyon Gold Overdrive pedal effect is based on the famous Klon Centaur, which can be considered one of the first truly transparent overdrive effects. The natural-sounding dynamic overdrive makes it the ideal pedal choice for "kicking up" almost any guitar.

Switch Voice offers the option of classic Klon Centaur-style midrange boosting or the choice of a more subtle, balanced sound - KLN is simply standard voicing, while the MOD setting delivers a more subtle clipping with more compression, which you'll especially appreciate on guitars with single-coil pickups. The remaining controls determine the strength of the output signal, the amount of overdrive and the dry/wet ratio.

The Halcyon Gold Overdrive is wired as a buffered bypass. A 9V adapter is required for power supply (battery power is not available).

The English brand Origin Effects represents another interesting concept in the field of contemporary handmade pedal effects manufacturers. Unlike many other products, Origin Effects pedal effects do not refer to the past and boutique design, but reflect the needs of contemporary musicians in terms of functionality and durability. Each product undergoes a complex process (from hand soldering and assembling the individual components, calibration with an audio analyzer, fitting them into a durable brushed steel chassis, testing the final product with a guitar/bass, to an output check confirmed by a handwritten serial number on the box). You can therefore be sure that only a product that meets the brand's high standards will reach you.
