Harm is the essence of all the distortion types and flavors. It can recreate a whole bunch of vastly different distortion pedal sounds or allow you to find your own distortion character you didn’t even expect to find. There are many ways to distort the sound, and many variables affect this process – in this pedal you have 11 controls to rule them all. Control the frequency response before and after the clipping stage, select clipping type, add fuzz and octave textures to explore the distortion in a range from transparent and clean to totally destructed sounds.

Fuzz stage

Create fuzz tones with Harm’s highly versatile and dynamic-sensitive fuzz stage. Add a bit of grit to clean or driven sound, recreate classic fuzz tones, or go into chaotic synth-like territory.

Wide gain range

From pure clean to blasting hi-gain distortion. Select one of 3 clipping types: hard - heavy and compressed, soft – dynamic tube-like clipping, no clipping – high volume and headroom op-amp distortion.

All in one

Harm can be anything: boost, EQ, preamp, saturator, fuzz, octave fuzz, overdrive, distortion, and everything in between. Works with any instrument in any genre.

From classic to experimental

Discover new tones or capture the essence of iconic distortion pedals like the Tube Screamer, Rat, Big Muff, and more. Harm's extensive set of controls allows for endless exploration.

Controls

Clip:

Selects the clipping threshold, ranging from tight and compressed to fully open.

Gain:

Adjusts the clipping stage gain, providing a range from a slight boost to high-gain distortion.

Drive:

Controls the overtone/fuzz section gain, adding fuzz character to the sound.

Gate:

Manages the dynamics response of the fuzz section. When in the center position, the fuzz section is disabled, and the "drive" knob functions as a boost control in front of the clipping stage.

Overtone:

Alters the fuzz character by blending the octave-up signal.

HPF:

High-pass filter that cuts low-end frequencies before the clipping stage, resulting in a tighter distortion tone. Perfect for solos and punchy riffs. HPF is disabled in the center position.

Boost:

Selects mid-range boost gain and frequency, enhancing presence and clarity in the distortion character. Disable boost in the middle position.

Filter:

Applies a soft low-pass filter to the distortion output, reducing excessive high-frequency content.

Bass/Treble:

Active cut-boost equalizer section for adjusting bass and treble frequencies.

Volume:

Controls the output level.

FAQ

Q: What instruments is this pedal suitable for?

A: It works with everything. When the HPF is disabled, it preserves low frequencies, allowing you to use it with bass, synths, drums, and any other instrument you desire.

Q: Can it be powered with a battery?

A: No, it does not have space for a battery.
