Today the Midnight Standard has another color option for people who are buying two and need the separation on their pedal board. The same great circuit and voicing as the black Midnight Standard but now you can have two with different settings and tell them apart easily on your pedal board. Still only $169.95 it’s called bone China! by @barberelectronics

David from @barberelectronics stopped by with the new Midnight Standard. Full video tomorrow. David explains the design and demos the pedal. Definitely check it out on our YouTube channel! Here he is playing four different guitars through the same settings. In addition to making great sounding pedals, we are always blown away by his playing! #barberelectronics #bluesbreaker by @barberelectronics

I’m not the best guy to demo pedals because I tend to make a beeline to the setting that feels like I’d be inspired to do a gig with it, rather than “putting it through its paces” or “showing you what it can do.” Having said that, I didn’t even need to adjust the knobs on the new @barberelectronics Midnight Standard from where they were in the shipping box to feel inspired to gig with it. My main overdrive pedal for almost 20 years has been the Barber B-Custom Cool, and when I’ve tried other things, I’ve had the best luck with Marshall Bluesbreaker derived pedals like AnalogMan’s Prince of Tone, the JHS Morning Glory, or - the best named of all - the Mooer Blues Crab. This is David Barber’s variation on that basic circuit topology, and yeah, that’s what a David Barber take on a Bluesbreaker would sound like. Clear, smooth, and gorgeous. It’s good! Try one! by @barberelectronics

Barber Electronics Midnight Standard — $169.95 USD

The Barber Midnight Standard brings updated textures, a wider gain range, and greater flexibility to one of the most loved overdrive circuits ever made.

The original Bluesbreaker circuit is a classic, but we felt it could favor lower-output single coils more than humbuckers and P-90s as the gain came up. The Midnight Standard addresses that with a wider-range Gain control and a 3-way Compression toggle designed to keep the sound cohesive across different pickup outputs and gain settings.

The redesigned Gain control moves easily from open, articulate low gain into thicker textures with more sustain and harmonic content, while retaining remarkable sensitivity to changes in your picking and fretting hands. The Tone control has also been opened up slightly, adding more sweetness and chime at the top while still allowing thicker, throatier sounds.

The original two-stage overdrive architecture remains intact. Rather than adding active bass or output stages, we stayed with the simple signal path that gives this style of circuit its detail and immediacy.

A 3-way Body toggle expands the frequency response even further. Stock retains the classic tight response. Deep adds greater low-end authority and weight. Thick adds a pronounced low-mid bark with a distinctly British character.

The Compression toggle offers three different ways to shape the clipping response. Stock preserves the wide dynamics of the original circuit. Push adds a more connected, refined feel that works especially well with medium-output pickups. Toasty brings the sound together at higher gain settings and with hotter pickups, avoiding the disconnected clean-plus-fuzz quality that some classic Bluesbreaker circuits can develop when pushed hard.

The result is a Bluesbreaker-style overdrive that can stand confidently on its own, from low gain through richer medium and higher-gain settings, with single coils, P-90s, Filter’Trons, Dynasonics, and humbuckers.

Like all Barber pedals, the Midnight Standard is hand-built and hand-soldered. Chassis-mounted controls, jacks, and footswitch are connected with solid-conductor flying leads by @barberelectronics

Working on the Short History script for Heritage Guitars, such a cool and little known story.
I've been struck by how there are shots in their current videos that look just like old black and white photos from the 1950's in the building at 225 Parsons Street, Kalamazoo, Michigan.

The burst is a Standard II and the custom is an Ascent, one of their modernized import guitars. Fit and finish on both of them is exemplary.

Notice the Mono Lite + board with Barber Drives and Keeley Halo. The "B Custom" is a Barb EQ prototype. I use it with the Princeton to bump it in the "high powered tweed twin" mode. Whole other voice for a black panel amp...so cool.

And all still running through the stock Andy Timmons settings on the Halo. I am so in love with this sound. I just need to squeeze an expression pedal on to get everything I want from a delay.

Video coming next month. taken in Kalamazoo, Michigan by @barberelectronics
