The Barber Half Gainer is the dual channel version of our retired LTD series of ultra clear low gain overdrive. The Half Gainer adds new features for enhanced live performance. There is a new "mid character" control that simultaneously adjusts the midrange content and shifts the EQ curve to compliment the amount of midrange added or cut! We worked with pedal artist Bronson Wagner to achieve a very upscale graphic and paint presentation. Bronson tastefully applied Art Deco styling on a rich new silver vein powder coat, for beauty with significant durability. The sounds that emanate from our overdrive instrument range from subtle purrs, to an authoritative sweet grind. The Midrange Character control allows you to set the tone control to a nearly flat EQ balance for BIG chords that match your clean tone magnificently, or dial in a sophisticated fatness to thicken your single note lines to perfection.

Manual

Half Gainer

The Barber Exacta dials in trippy fuzz perfection. Now there is a vintage fuzz that is not picky about placement in the signal chain, and works fantastically with humbuckers and single coil pickups! We include two toggle switches to allow 2 classic fuzz circuits, which include the Triangle fuzz and Jumbo Tonebender sounds, along with an extra sweet flattened-mids version of the Triangle fuzz sound, then there's the Sludge-switch which selects perfect girth for single coil, bridge humbucker and neck humbucker...who knew?

Exacta Fuzz

This amazing pedal is for classic fuzz freaks and newcomers alike. The Barber Trifecta employs a three way toggle switch to seamlessly navigate three incredible classic vintage fuzz circuits producing a plethora of great tones, that go from trippy to squishy, through heavy and beyond. The Barber exclusive "Sludge" control allows players to easily dial in the Trifecta to work perfectly with all types of pickups (humbuckers, single coils even active!).  The Sludge control is a pre-fuzz bass control circuit to allow you to adjust exactly how much bass gets pushed through the fuzz circuit. The Trifecta's variable tone control is also a push/pull type switch which lets you go from classic scooped to an audiophile strong-fundamental flat EQ.

Trifecta

Barber Electronics is proud to introduce a powerful update to our now legendary Tone Pump!. The Tone Pump has a new tone control design that allows for an even clearer and more dynamic sound. The "EQ" update adds controls for presence and midrange... With the well thought out new "EQ", you can sculpt a vast "tonescape", from flat mids to extra articulated silky highs and a new deeper clearer bass and all points between. The "pump" control for the red channel is now push/pull to go between asymmetric and symmetrical clipping. All this adds up to an exciting new Tone Pump that veteran and new users alike will love!
