The Halcyon Green Overdrive can definitely be classed as a traditional drive pedal. As such, it can be placed in the “traditional” place in a pedalboard signal chain – after fuzz, wah and compression but before modulation, delay, reverb and “amp in a box” type pedals. Because of its adaptive circuitry, the Halcyon Green Overdrive makes a very capable “always on pedal”, meaning it works well nearer the start of the chain. Of course, there is no such thing as right or wrong when it comes to this stuff, so experiment and trust your ears!
