Description

Unleash a new realm of sonic possibilities with the Malekko Heavy Industry Helium, a masterfully crafted overdrive effects pedal that merges the classic and the contemporary. Born from the creative genius of Todd Wolfgram, this pedal is not just an effect but a journey into a world of rich, textural soundscapes. Embracing the spirit of the legendary Tycobrahe sound, the Helium offers an Octavia-style distortion coupled with a compelling octave up effect that takes your music from a gritty vintage growl to a clear, soaring octave.

With its distinctive two-position octave switch and a unique “Wolf” setting, the Helium ensures that your tonal palette is both expansive and expressive. The Texture switch and Mix control allow for seamless blending of your original note, offering you the ability to craft a sound that is uniquely your own. Whether you're aiming for a smooth, melodic lead or a fierce, cutting edge, this pedal responds dynamically to your touch, making it an indispensable tool for any guitarist looking to push the boundaries of their sound.

Designed for both reliability and versatility, the Helium is powered by a standard 9v negative tip power supply or an internal battery, ensuring it integrates effortlessly into your existing setup.

Key Features:

  • Octavia-style octave/distortion pedal
  • Two-position octave up effect
  • Unique “Wolf” setting for expanded tonal range
  • Texture switch for sound customization
  • Mix control for blending original and effected signals
  • Operates with a standard 9v negative tip power supply or internal battery
