The Arc Flash is a ultra versatile box that's bursting with charged-up electric goodness. Its an overdrive and distortion, with an insanely increased range that'll summon everything from surprisingly clean drives, to transparent overdrives, to cutting distortion, to full-on grindy fuzz, to scrambled, imploding waves of overcharged fuzz! Amazing shape-shifting range, very intuitive controls, all in a tiny electrical enclosure! The Controls! • Gain/Charge: Major range! Controls the style and amount of gain. Mode two changes the sweep of the Gain control, increasing gain, sharpness, and nastiness. • Level: Your master volume control...with a huge amount of available volume! • Mode: Switches between the pedal's two modes, switching both diodes and the sweep of the Gain control. Mode One does surprisingly clean overdrives, to huge, thick fuzz! Mode Two delivers a big gain increase, from sharp distortions to absolute waves of scrambled fuzz, complete with stuttering single notes. High gain, very overdriven! Recommended for humbuckers or single-coils in hum- cancelling mode. |

| Notes from Tom Dalton... The Arc Flash goes both cleaner and freakier than any non-oscillating FuzzHugger(fx) pedal. Not only a sick unit for its versatility, the pedal does it up big, with unique textures! The overdrives will surprise you with their transparency. Turn up the gain, and things get surprisingly HUGE! Where other FuzzHugger(fx) wow with their harmonic tones, the Arc Flash can be set to deliver some of the stranger Jack White-esque tones, from having a slightly grindier edge, to blurring the lines between nasty/freaky and sweet/toneful...and between cutting and muffy. And completely cranked, it's exploding with energy! |
| "Just spent some time playing my new Arc Flash (Arc Flash Oscillator), and damn it's amazing. Probably my favorite pedal on my board, which is really saying something cause I love all my pedals. The versatility is ridiculously amazing. I couldn't be happier with this thing, thanks so much for making it a reality!" --Matt, CA "Nice warm overdrive, which may replace my tendency to use my amp's overdrive. Scorching distortion with a backhanded slap of fuzz, so you're sure to remember what's important. Splattery (as it has been put) swelling, gnarly, lo-fi, electrocution reminiscent of a catfight through a gainy distortion pedal." --Jake, TX "I got to play the AFO through my Twin this weekend, and it sounded amazing. ... It produced this really cutting, slightly compressed, but incredibly warm and tasty fuzz. Turning the Gain clockwise...chunky boost all the way to a grand, uplifting fuzz. Then switching on the high gain starts you off with a raspy overdrive and ends up with a fantastic splatter." --Crispin, CA "[on its cleanest setting] the Arc Flash the tone was exactly the same as the bypassed signal. No low end loss and that Jazz honk came through perfectly. ...Lower settings on the gain produced a beautiful transparent boost. After around 1:00 o’clock on the gain over drive then fuzz kicked in for a nice smooth goodness. ... In the mode up position, lower gain settings produced sputtery nastiness. At higher settings the fuzz became thicker and produced a beautiful frying bacon sound. I was also able to reproduce a sound like I was being electrocuted in a horror flick." --Keith, MD "...sounds like amazing OD that is really crisp, has a unique tone but its insanely usable. I cant stress how much you can do with this if you just try different things." --Ben, IA "I have a ton of fuzzes but this one has a very unique voice. Turned up it's full on fuzz mayhem with a nice vintage tone, but roll guitar volume back and it cleans up reeeally nice." Craig, NJ "I played a show with my Arc Flash last night and I swear I love that pedal more and more every time. I received a compliment on my 'fat, full' rhythm fuzz sound, and also on my 'zipper-like, screaming' leads. I was happy to be able to tell them that it all came from one ridiculously cool pedal." --Matt, CA "I have to say, this pedal is F'N AWESOME! Very versatile and insane at the same time... Tom, thanks for a great pedal! It is replacing my bass big muff on my board." --Steev, NY "I'm absolutely LOVING the Arc Flash. There is a spot on the dial where I get a serious 'electrical surge' sound on the decay of certain notes/chords, and it blows me away each time it happens." --John, OR |
