Specifications



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
