Origin Effects Halcyon Blue Overdrive

The Halcyon Blue Overdrive is a low-to-mid gain drive pedal, equipped with our proprietary Adaptive Circuitry. The Halcyon Blue Overdrive is the latest in our Halcyon range, joining the Halcyon Green and Halcyon Gold, capturing the sounds of classic drive pedals with extra responsiveness and tonal options from the Adapt and Voice switches.

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.
