Description
The Matthews Effects Harbinger is a boutique distortion pedal that combines the classic "Rodent-style" (ProCo RAT) gain circuit with a powerful active parametric EQ placed before the gain stage. This innovative design allows your frequency adjustments to directly affect how the distortion saturates, providing extreme tonal flexibility.
With a NOS LM308 chip for authentic vintage RAT distortion, the Harbinger delivers a range from smooth overdrive to thick, aggressive distortion. The pre-gain parametric EQ lets you sweep frequencies between 100 Hz and 4 kHz, boosting or cutting up to 15 dB, creating unique resonance notches and enhancing your amp and guitar interaction.
Ideal for guitarists and bassists alike, the Harbinger preserves low-end clarity while offering tonal shaping options such as mid boosts for solos, scooped rhythms, and smooth "woman tone" leads. True bypass and top-mounted jacks ensure pedalboard-friendly operation, while the programmable start state remembers your last pedal setting when powered on.
