The Electronic Guitar Pedals always come out on top. This is New is in stock and ready to post out to you, with fast, reliable delivery straight to your door. For more New Guitar Pedals options, read on for full specifications, demos, and secure online ordering.

Founded in 2015 and hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, Electronic Audio Experiments are more than just a pedal manufacturer, they are "an exploration in sound and texture via electronics". The Electronic Audio Experiments Halberd is a transistor overdrive circuit designed to deliver the greatest possible dynamic range and clarity. Rich in harmonic content, this medium-gain pedal produces a thick, full sounding overdrive courtesy of a dozen transistors working in perfect harmony. Tonally, the Halberd sits somewhere between a blown-up tweed amp and an overloaded console for a sound that feels familiar but refreshingly unique too.

Controls

  • Pre – This sets the overall signal gain. Lower settings impart light compression, then increasing amounts of clipping up to a fuzzy overdrive, depending on the Voice and Depth settings.
  • Depth – This is an adjustable low frequency shelving filter at the input, and is very interactive with the setting of the Pre control. It can be thought of as a second gain control affecting low frequencies only.
  • Tone –  This is an adjustable high shelf cut at the output, helpful for taming harsher frequencies especially at high gain settings.
  • Post – This sets the overall output level, and is buffered for full transparency at all signal levels. 
  • Voice – 3 position 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

Specifications

  • Bypass switching: Silent electronic switching with a Class A JFET buffer
  • Input impedance @ 1Khz: 1MΩ

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Overdrive — Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit, and natural compression to your tone, capturing the feel of a pushed tube amp. They respond dynamically to your playing, offering everything from a light bluesy crunch to full, saturated rock tones. Perfect for boosting solos or shaping your core sound, an overdrive pedal brings character and life to any setup. Whether you prefer vintage smoothness or modern bite, these pedals are essential for players who want expressive, touch-sensitive drive with plenty of personality.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.. v2.
