Electronic Audio Experiments Halberd V2 is a discrete transistor overdrive circuit designed for the greatest possible dynamic range and note clarity. It fills a special niche our family of drive pedals—a medium-gain device with the harmonic fullness and grind of a much higher-gain pedal, one that stands apart from both the brazen buzz of op amp distortion and the smooth breakup of JFET amp emulations alike.

The Halberd’s character comes from over a dozen transistors working in harmony. It is familiar but unique, sitting somewhere between blown-up tweed and an overloaded console. Rather than resigning itself to transparency, it imparts its character in a collaborative fashion, responding in unique ways to different instruments and amplifiers but not without leaving its distinct fingerprints. And of course, it is equally at home on guitar, bass, and synthesizer.

The pedal has a 3 position Voice switch to set the overall drive character Clang (up): increases gain in the upper midrange, for an aggressive sound and a sharp attack. Standard (middle): moderate gain with a gentle mid push; identical to Halberd V1. Deep (down): a full range gain boost with woolly saturation and a fuzzy note attack
