67Audio Harry Balz

67audio · pedal

The 67Audio Harry Balz is a dual-channel overdrive in a 1590BB enclosure offering two independent gain stages designed to capture the sound of cranked amplifier output tubes rather than preamp-tube saturation. An internal voltage converter and regulator boosts headroom beyond standard 9V operation producing a dynamic open response with less compression than typical op-amp drives. Seven controls including Gain 1, Gain 2, Volume, Q, Treble, Mid, and Bass allow wide tonal shaping. True bypass. Suited to classic rock, blues, and any context where pick dynamics and guitar volume rolloff feel are priorities over compressed sustain.
