If you’ve ever wanted that John Mayer-styled ’90s Marshall Bluesbreaker tone without diving into the secondhand market, this one’s for you!
The Halcyon Blue Overdrive offers Drive, Tone, and Level knobs alongside a Dry knob that lets you tweak the level of your unaffected dry signal for even more shades of overdrive. Then there’s the Adapt switch which allows the pedal’s boosted midrange to gradually fade away as the pedal cleans up, as well as a Mod setting that nables a different drive character and frequency response.
“Inspired by the early ‘90s Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal, the Halcyon Blue Overdrive’s soft-clipping circuit and broad midrange emphasis deliver the thick, articulate tones that made the Bluesbreaker famous,” wrote Origin Effects of the pedal. “Get amp-like edge-of-breakup sounds into a clean amp, or push your amp further into overdrive, without losing definition.”
