Origin Effects HALCYON Getting Started Manual page 2

1. GET CONNECTED
INSTR - Plug in your guitar or other instrument.
AMP - Connect to your amp or modeller.
9VDC - Insert 9VDC 2.1mm centre-negative power
supply (minimum 80mA).
2. MATCH THE CONTROLS
Match the pedals controls to the image shown.
3. SET THE ADAPT SWITCH
The ADAPT switch allows the voicing of the pedal to
adapt to playing dynamics and volume changes. As the
pedal cleans up, the mid-forward voicing is reduced,
revealing a full-range clean tone.
• Position O has no adaptive behaviour, just like a
real vintage TS808 Tube Screamer
• Position II gives you full adaptive behaviour. Rolling
back your guitar volume or playing softly will not
only clean up your tone but also reveal the full
tonal spectrum of your clean sound.
• Position I is less adaptive than position II. This still
responds well to dynamics and volume changes but
maintains some bass and treble roll-o , perfect for
keeping the low-end tight and preventing feedback
with high-gain tones.
TIP: To hear the ADAPT switch in action, select
position II, play some licks, then roll down your guitar
volume to a clean tone and select position O. You will
hear a big di erence between the adaptive and stock
clean tones!

4. SELECT YOUR VOICE
• The 808 setting o ers the classic, soft mid hump of
®
a vintage Tube Screamer .
• The MOD setting gives a brighter and more
focused presence peak, great for adding clarity to
humbuckers.
5. TWEAK YOUR SOUND
DRIVE - Turn clockwise to increase the amount of
overdrive. Lower settings should be used when boosting
an amp on the edge of breakup. When used with
ADAPT settings I and II, high DRIVE settings can sound
more natural than a typical drive pedal and will work
well with a completely clean amp.
LEVEL - Sets the output level from the pedal. Turn
clockwise to push the input of your amp. Keep this
control set lower when using higher DRIVE settings.
TONE - Turn counterclockwise to roll o more high-
end. Lower settings will result in a typical warm lead
tone while higher settings will give a bright, cutting tone.
With ADAPT settings I and II, the e ect of the TONE
control is reduced as the pedal cleans up, getting you
back to your core clean tone.
DRY - This controls the level of clean signal. In the
noon position, the clean level is the same as in a vintage
Tube Screamer ® . Turn clockwise to help maintain body,
clarity and defi nition when used with an overdriven amp.
Turn counterclockwise to remove the clean signal. This
is recommended when using the pedal as a standalone
overdrive pedal into a clean amp.
