Electro-Harmonix Crayon Full-Range Overdrive Pedal | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Electro-Harmonix Crayon Full-Range Overdrive Pedal delivers versatile overdrive with independent Bass and Treble controls and an open frequency range that provides a musical alternative to conventional mid-focused overdrive pedals. This innovative design spans from subtle dirt suggestion to full-on distortion with lush, rich, warm tone character. Perfect for players seeking comprehensive frequency response, flexible tone shaping, and the ability to function as both standalone overdrive and drive pedal for pushing other overdrives to new territories.
Product Overview
The Crayon represents Electro-Harmonix's innovative approach to overdrive design, breaking away from traditional mid-focused circuits to deliver full-range frequency response that preserves both low-end punch and high-frequency clarity. This open frequency architecture provides a musical alternative that maintains the complete spectrum of your guitar's natural voice while adding rich, warm overdrive character that enhances rather than masks your fundamental tone.
The independent Bass and Treble controls offer precise frequency sculpting capabilities that enable comprehensive tone shaping across the entire spectrum. Unlike conventional overdrive pedals that impose fixed midrange emphasis, the Crayon allows players to adjust both low and high frequencies independently, creating custom EQ curves that complement different guitars, amplifiers, and musical styles. This flexibility makes the pedal equally effective for rhythm and lead applications.
The versatile gain range spans from subtle enhancement that adds just a suggestion of dirt through full-on distortion that delivers serious saturation and sustain. The analog circuit maintains musical character throughout this range, providing natural compression and harmonic content that responds dynamically to playing technique. The pedal excels both as a standalone overdrive and as a driver for other overdrive pedals, adding richness and complexity to existing drive circuits.
