The much-anticipated Origin Effects Halcyon Blue Overdrive completes the golden trifecta of low to mid-gain overdrive pedals with their take on the highly regarded Marshall Blues Breaker pedal.

Starting off with Marshall’s acclaimed soft-clipping overdrive circuit, Origin has pushed the Blues Breaker to new limits with the inclusion of their acclaimed switchable proprietary Adaptive Circuitry as well as their own unique Mod setting which tweaks the pedals gain character and frequency response. This British-built pedal, laced with premium components offers the quintessential, nearly transparent electric guitar tone with the absolute optimal amount of mid-range growl added to your tone as you start digging into the overdrive. The perfect reproduction of how a genuine cranked-up valve amp would react and the very reason why the Marshall Blues Breaker pedal got itself into the guitar pedal history books.

Key Features

• Origin’s Additions – Don’t mistake the Halcyon Blue for yet another Blues Breaker clone. Origin’s switchable Adaptive Circuitry and Mod settings allow you to transform and shape your sound into sonic territories way beyond the limitations of the original.
• Dry Level – For even more tonal variety and tweakability the Halcyon Blue’s Dry level control allows you to find the absolute sweet spot for any level of gain with any guitar and amp combination.
• Thought-out Design – The high-quality buffered bypass in conjunction with the ultra-high input impedance ensures optimum tone with or without the pedal engaged.

Adaptive Circuitry

Origin’s proprietary Adaptive Circuitry puts you in control of the Halcyon Blue’s mid-range growl at the turn of your guitar’s volume knob. With the distinctly voiced mid-range frequency being so fundamental to the circuit’s natural overdriven tone, this unique feature allows the guitar’s volume and dynamics to control the amount of mid-frequency push and consequently, gain level. As you play softer or reduce your guitar’s volume, the mid hump is gradually reduced resulting in a more full-spectrum cleaner guitar tone. It’s a dynamic and immersive playing experience that feels like real valves being pushed and keeps you coming back for more!

Mod Setting

At the flip of a switch, the Halcyon Blue is taken to new unruly domains with increased gain and low-end thump. It’s a different flavour of the same style of overdrive with more weight and power behind each note or chord as well as a more immediate attack and increased responsiveness. Origin’s Mod setting adds an extra layer of versatility to the pedal and ensures no matter what guitar or amp you’re using as well as what genre you’re playing, there is a low to mid-driven tone inside the Halcyon Blue for you.
