Demo: Halberd by Electronic Audio Experiments

The Halberd by Electronic Audio Experiments is a medium-stage distortion pedal that was specifically designed for maximum dynamic range and clarity. 

Let’s take a look at the controls:

  • Pre controls the amount of gain
  • Post controls the volume
  • High controls, well, the high end
  • Low controls the low end, as you probably suspected

Pre and Bass interact a lot, as do Post and Treble. So keep that in mind when you’re setting your dream tone (which probably exists somewhere in this box). 

According to builder John Snyder, “Halberd’s character comes from a jumble of silicon and germanium transistors working in harmony.” In a world of transparent ODs, this is a character that interacts differently with different amps, guitars, and synths. 

Guitar: Fender Coronado ii
Amp: Milkman The Amp
Special thanks to Boss for letting us use the RC-10R Loop and Rhythm Station
