Heavy Electronics Highway 77

The Highway 77 is an analog distortion pedal made by Heavy Electronics, listed under the maker's name "Highway 77 by Heavy Electronics." It sits in the distortion category, the family of pedals that push a signal into sustained, clipped overdrive, and it is a fully analog circuit rather than a digital design¹.

Power and setup

The pedal runs from a 9V DC supply with center negative polarity, the standard arrangement for compact pedals, and draws 5.9mA of current¹. That low draw means a single standard 9V supply output can run it comfortably, and it is light enough that several such pedals can share one supply output on a daisy chain without straining it.

Versions

Alongside the standard version, the Highway 77 also appeared in a green and white colorway, listed by RockBoard's PedalPedia as the "Heavy Electronics Highway 77 -- Green and white version"²¹. The two versions share the same circuit and function; the difference is the enclosure finish.
