Haggtronix Harvester

The Haggtronix Harvester is an analog pedal covering fuzz, distortion and boost duties in one box. Haggtronix describes it as "the Haggtronix HG-2 reimagined," and the underlying circuit is based on what the maker calls "the cult classic chainsaw distortion." It sits in the fuzz and distortion territory, with enough gain range to work as a booster as well¹.

What it does

Compared with the HG-2 it is based on, the Harvester adds a set of features Haggtronix lists as standard on this version¹:

• 3-band EQ¹
• Clipping and headroom options¹
• Clean blend with phase switching¹
• Soft click bypass¹

The clean blend with phase switching is the kind of control bass players and players running low-tuned or extended-range guitars often look for in a fuzz, since it lets the dry signal sit under the distorted one. The clipping and headroom options change how the circuit breaks up, from softer compression into harder clipping¹.

Build and power

The Harvester is housed in a UV printed transparent red powder coated 1590J enclosure, with artwork by The Split Hoof. It runs on 9V DC, center negative¹.
