- Page 2 In particular, I would like to thank Bryan from Soursound and Matt from Electrofoods Ultd. for their critical ears, sage circuit advice, and encouragement. In 2021 we decided to develop Halberd V2 in a smaller form factor. While doing so, we successfully designed out the hard-to-source new old stock germanium transistor, reduced the power consumption by over 60%, and added a new Voice toggle to provide expanded tonal options.
- Page 3 2 Product Changelog Version 2 Released in August 2021 • New mechanical form factor; size reduced from BB-type enclosure to 125B-type enclo- sure. • NOS germanium transistor no longer used. Circuitry updated accordingly to preserve tonal characteristics • Current draw reduced to 50mA when engaged (previously 180mA in V1) •...
- Page 4 To power your Halberd, use a standard, reliable 9VDC center-negative supply with a 2.1mm barrel tip. The Halberd has a current draw of 50mA when active. We suggest the use of an isolated power supply when using the Halberd in a signal chain with several pedals.
- Page 5 (middle), and Deep (down). Note: avail- able on V2 only. The Halberd has soft-touch electronic switch- ing with buffered bypass. When the Halberd is disengaged, your signal passes through a high-headroom, class A JFET buffer to pre- serve its integrity over long cable runs.
- Page 6 The Voice toggle is also interactive with the Depth and Pre settings. It has three posi- tions: the center position is identical in voicing to a V1 Halberd. There is a gentle midrange emphasis and a moderate amount of gain. The up position (Clang) adds a significant high mid boost, to achieve more aggressive sounds than what the Depth control offers on its own.
