SOMA Laboratory Harvezi Hazze
Explore unique distortion and waveshaping with Harvezi Hazze, a waveshaping effect pedal designed around a unijunction transistor, delivering flexible saturation from warm distortion to wild feedback. All of these wide and varied tones can be smoothly transitioned between, providing a highly versatile effect ready to warp your tone in a moment's notice. Within its unique circuit, Harvezi Hazze's signal chain runs first through a fixed-parameter compressor, into a distorting amp and waveshaper, then fed through an optional additional tone stack before sending out to the world in all its distorted glory.
Harvezi Hazze's controls are fairly straightforward, yet through its unique unijunction transistor design offers a distortion effect unlike typical topologies. The Gain control affects the output amplitude within the distorting amp, with a switch to select between soft and aggressive voicings. Spoil and Spread affect the transistor waveshaper, setting a fold threshold with Spoil and a fold amount with Spread. Tone adjusts the brightness of your sound, adding more harmonics at higher settings. When you want to take your tone into uncharted territory, flip the total feedback switch to introduce self-oscillation as Harvezi Hazze's parameters start to chaotically influence one another. On the side of the pedal, switches to engage an additional tone stack or bass boost. Finally, a level control is available for your output volume.
Built for exploration of its unique distortion and waveshaping character, Harvezi Hazze will take you through treacherous trips of signal saturation and fuzzed out fun. With a highly versatile character, Harvezi Hazze from SOMA Laboratory is an interesting saturator with plenty of tricks up its sleeve, bringing its idiosyncratic sound and chaotic potential to all types of pedalboards and effects rigs.
