Boost Gain and Definition with Arrows V2

Through a simple single knob, the EarthQuaker Devices Arrows V2 improves definition and boosts your signal down into the rest of your chain. Arrows V2 is perfect for clean-boosting an amp or driving it over the edge or pushing dirt boxes into sonic bliss. As you turn the knob clockwise, Arrows V2 boosts mids, adds top-end sparkle, and tightens up bass; it's the perfect remedy for muddy pedals, dark pickups, and tone suckers of all sorts. Version 2 features top-mounted cable jacks and soft, silent relay-based switching for greater convenience, comfort, and longevity. Whether you're looking for a set-and-forget harmonic enhancer or a gain booster to drive pedals and amps, you'll find it in the EarthQuaker Devices Arrows V2 from Sweetwater.

New switching system is soft, silent, and built for life

EarthQuaker redesigned the Arrows V2 circuit board to make way for its relay-based soft touch switching. Since there's no hard click when you engage the pedal, the Arrows V2 is more comfortable to play without shoes, and its switch is built to last a lifetime. Experience for yourself the best Arrows yet: the EarthQuaker Devices Arrows V2.

Arrows
The Arrows does what I want. I am using it as a boost for my vintage amps. I do not want to change the sound of these amps. I just want to push them to break up level. The Arrows gets it done and the amps sound great with it Thanks to Garrett for the advice as usual!

Anti-Boost
Of course there are plenty of reviews about how well this works to boost your signal, but it also works equally well to cut it. I use this in front of an Orange Jim Root Terror to give me a sort of cleaner second channel. Gain on the amp set to around 1 o'clock, and the pedal set around 8 o'clock, it cleans up the amp to more of a slightly broken up sound. Sort of like just turning the volume down on the guitar, but it's instant, retains the highs and doesn't muddy up the tone.

Great Boost
This boost is really great and simple. It tightens up the low end for sure. In front of fuzz pedals it sends them into a sonic bliss. Run this in front of any distortion or overdrive and it, well just sounds better. As a clean boost it is as simple as it gets and it is really loud. One of many great Earthquaker pedals and so easy to use. Thanks to Chris Cruz for sending this out so fast. You rock dude.

Best Booster Ever!!!
I am a huge clean boost fanatic, I know that I can turn the amp gain up but clean boost sounds better to me especially on D.I. Based pedalboards. I have I think 7 clean boosts currently in my collection and this one will never leave my board. Why? Because it literally is just as good as using the gain knob on your amp, it adds thick saturation and cleans up the low end. I actually wouldn't call it a clean boost but it cleans up the tone in the perfect way. I have it as an always on pedal going into my JHS Charlie Brown, I wish I could upload audio clips to here because with a boost added, I'm in high gain metal territory that works on 6 or 7 string guitars. But then without a boost it's a classic Marshallish tone. Anyways, if you buy this pedal you're probably going to be selling your other clean boosts FWI.

Never leave home without it!
Set up as follows-
Gibson v into studio jubilee with boss reverb/delay in fx loop.Great tone to start with but I always wanted to tighten it up a bit.After chasing overdrive pedals
For the answer I was never satisfied.My amp didn't need more overdrive.So I stumbled across the Arrows boost.I never knew this was the missing piece.It complements my amp perfectly.I was blown away with the result! The best and most simplistic pedal I ever owned.Completely satisfied! Buy this simple pedal and be amazed at the result.I highly recommend Earth Quaker Devices products.Well made and well packaged.If your like me and like what your amp naturally sounds like just wait till you plug this in.
