Blue, Gold, or Green | Which Origin Effects Halcyon Overdrive Is Best?

[@hekakain4108]

Origin FX are simply top tier FX pedals from the build to how they sound...fantastic...This demo of all three pedals was again fantastic; I knew they were versatile but how versatile is something I just found out...I have all three pedals, gold Klon Num 1 blue Bluesbreaker Num 2 and then the tube screamer...Jay you put so much into perspective for me as regards these pedals...

[@miket3353]

Great video but serious this guy has some of the best rhythm guitar playing I've ever heard/seen. So much technical skill but so much feeling and soul.

[@boazed5169]

By far the BEST demo of like pedals. Thank You,!, Finally, I found a demo actually showing the tweaks while explaining the: some subtle, some not so subtle tone capabilities. Now, either of the trio will be the right choice for many players. For me personally, I feel I have relatively a strong case I can present to the "Boss-lady" showing my need for one of each.

[@JayLeonardJ]

That really means a lot, thanks :)

[@CraigularjJoeWoodworks]

This was a good side by side…the gold sounds so good, humbuckers really shine with the klon side

[@martin_gemme]

best demo for these, good job Jay

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@Breuschling11]

Nicely done, Jay - very thorough and presented in a logical way. I have both the blue and gold on my board.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Great choices! I really dig the Gold myself :)

[@pvolt7]

love your playing and channel! I am seriously considering that blue but they all sound great

[@loutielli]

Excellent review! Fantastic playing as well. Thanks Jay!

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Very nice playing and an extremely useful video.

[@janchance]

Nice! Clear demonstration of the features and the differences between the pedals.

[@mikewolfe9458]

Great rundown of the sounds and features, Jay! Killer playing as always. I’m a big fan of all the origin stuff I’ve ever tried.

[@timholtguitar6999]

Great work, Jay! I think every pedal would be extremely useful in a musical context.

[@daxmoore2060]

Thanks very much. I really enjoyed the review. My favorite was the gold one.

[@jeffmartinez6073]

I always love your playing J. It's what brings me here. I think you can play any guitar, through any amp and make it sound professional. That is what it's about to me. The sound a player can extract from whatever they have- and to be able to get lost in it.

[@rosewood_ca]

Would love to see the gold stacked with a lower gain predal. But the Gold caught my eye after the adapt switch demo!

[@Hugoknots]

It would be nice if you played the same thing through each pedal. In any case, this is a great review. Good job and thanks!

[@ericskinner7355]

Good to know they are different. I thought they were just different colors.! Thanks 👍

[@darwinsaye]

Blue all the way.

[@kingdozerr]

Nordvang triple gain has these on one box, try it, it sounds fantastic.

[@valdon116]

Right one for my sound: all of them

[@cliffdykes1171]

I have the gold and hope to get them all, love the playing

[@joeygentile7829]

As always, great video, but kudos for the classy choice on your Tag Monaco. I own one, too.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Great minds think alike ;)

[@CarlyonProduction]

Nice clean sound. What’s the amp?

[@imonahorse]

What is this guitar? Looks delicious and nutritious.

[@JayLeonardJ]

It's a Teran!

[@jwstout007]

All three of these could find a home on my board, I hear applications for how I play and how they'd all fit with my playing. Side note: that Nashville thinline has some serious mojo!

[@johndrowe5281]

Brilliant. I will have one of each, please…😊 🎸👨🏼‍⚕️. 🫶✌️♾️

[@redpillpusher]

2:50 were you just riffing here or is this from a song.

[@rexamai4982]

Dry blend >>>

[@JayLeonardJ]

Makes a lot of difference, especially in these circuits!

[@spokes28]

I have a pedal with the labels printed in white-very hard to read. I think all printing should be black or at least dark.

[@AgentBlackCrow]

I think they sell versions in black.

[@SteveKirkpatrick-db4nf]

What brand is the Tele?

[@JayLeonardJ]

It's a Teran

[@tommc49]

What us that guitar? I can't make out the logo.

[@JayLeonardJ]

It is a Teran :)

[@jasonswitzer1748]

Wait… if these are just a tube screamer, blues driver, and probably a Klon, why not just get the original pedals… or in the case of the Klon, any other Klon derivative (unless these are somehow better)? Note: I wrote this as Jay said “the Green one is the Tube Screamer” or something to that effect).

[@rosewood_ca]

Although they derived from the pedals you just named; they are meant to be more versatile with the adaptive switch (more beneficial for dynamic playing with volume knob being dropped in volume without sacrificing the tone of the circuit) and the mod switch which pro sesh engineers recommend from the original circuit to a cleaner version of it. The original pedals are more straight foward and to the point and have some limitations that some people may find tedious. Especially for the price that they are being sold. Hope this helps..

[@phladjki]

it’s the adaptive circuitry, dry blend, mods, premium components

[@AgentBlackCrow]

Choice is truly yours to make.

[@joek81981]

You saved me $300.

[@hendrikusdetuinman8360]

Paid promotion, sad......review real pedals.

[@PickledDill907]

Literally every pedal demo he does is paid. That’s his job…

[@timjonesguitar]

"real pedals" ???

[@AgentBlackCrow]

Why so butt-hurt? Fantastic reviews from a fantastic player with a fantastic personality.

[@watermelon9959]

Every new company is just rebranded boss 🙃. Just buy the boss pedal. Clown fiesta

[@rosewood_ca]

uhm no, the circuits aren’t helpful and none of these pedals are derived from boss
