Bows - Germanium Preamp Booster
Prepare to be transported to a sonic realm where the past and present collide in glorious harmony. The EarthQuaker Devices Bows is a true sonic alchemist, harnessing the power of a rare NOS OC139 "black glass" germanium transistor to conjure up tones that will captivate your senses. This unassuming little pedal packs a punch far beyond its diminutive size. Flip the switch and you're presented with two distinct personalities - "Full" and "Treble" - each with its own unique charm. The "Full" mode delivers a warm, thick tone with a robust low-end presence that will add heft and authority to your sound. Crank the level and witness your amp transform into a growling beast, ready to unleash a wave of harmonic-rich distortion. Venture into "Treble" mode, and you'll be greeted by a resonant, singing tone that evokes the classic "cocked wah" sound. This mode is the ultimate lead tone sculptor, capable of pushing your tube amp into the kind of searing, sustain-laden territory that will have your audience captivated. But the Bows isn't just a one-trick pony. Place it in front of your favorite drive pedal, and witness the magic unfold. The "Full" mode turns a dirt signal into a glorious sonic maelstrom, while the "Treble" mode becomes the perfect foil, elevating your leads to dizzying new heights. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail in the temperature-controlled confines of Akron, Ohio, the Bows is a true testament to the art of pedal-making. Prepare to unlock a new dimension of tone and expression with this extraordinary germanium marvel.
