As a TS808-inspired pedal, the Halcyon Green Overdrive excels when running into an amp either on the edge of breakup or slightly overdriven. The mid-forward voicing, low gain drive tone and a touch of clean signal help push an amp into a thick, overdriven lead tone that cuts through the mix nicely. However, the more natural drive tones accessed via the ADAPT switch mean this pedal can also work very well as a standalone overdrive, when run into a completely clean amp.
