SOMA Laboratory Harvezi Hazze Distortion Pedal

Available from Gear4Music at € 342,74.

The SOMA Laboratory Harvezi Hazze is built for players and producers exploring experimental distortion across instruments and sources. At its core is a waveshaper based around a unijunction transistor an early semiconductor component with unusual behaviour. This single part allows the pedal to move smoothly between limiting distortion wave folding and signal generation. As you adjust the controls the response shifts gradually letting you fine tune anything from lightly coloured textures to aggressive broken sounds. It rewards careful listening and hands on tweaking rather than fixed presets. The signal path begins with an optical compressor that evens out dynamics before hitting the distortion stages. A dual mode amplifier lets you choose softer clipping or a more abrasive character rich in upper harmonics. After the waveshaper a flexible tone section helps rein things back in making the pedal workable with guitars basses drums and synthesizers.
