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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1655919386029_547\" class=\"product-description\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-5fb7525bcff50c33d8cd5427\" class=\"sqs-layout sqs-grid-12 columns-12\" data-layout-label=\"Post Body\" data-type=\"item\" data-updated-on=\"1649483478198\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1655919386029_546\" class=\"row sqs-row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1655919386029_545\" class=\"col sqs-col-6 span-6\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-1ecd23e6418913fc01e4\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1655919386029_544\" class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch2 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eElectrical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1655919386029_543\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cstrong id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1655919386029_542\"\u003eBypass switching: \u003c\/strong\u003eSilent electronic switching with a Class A JFET buffer\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance @ 1Khz:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1MΩ\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance @ 1Khz:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;1KΩ\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9VDC, 2.1mm center negative barrel.
