The Electronic Audio Experiments Halberd is a discrete transistor overdrive pedal from EAE, handmade in Portland, Oregon. EAE describes it as a super-flavorful overdrive with a lot of tasteful gain on tap, and user reviews on TalkBass highlight its highly reactive character that feels like a powerful extension of the playing hand at stage volume. The Halberd is a transparent-to-medium-gain overdrive with a discrete transistor circuit that brings every small playing detail to the foreground without being unforgivingly stiff, making it a versatile and expressive overdrive for both guitar and bass.
