The EarthQuaker Devices White Light V2 is the reissue of the well-known White Light Overdrive and is limited to 2000 pieces worldwide. The White Light V2 takes its inspiration from classic vintage dirt pedals like the OD250 or Distortion+ without imitating them, giving an old sound a new voice. At the same time, the White Light V2 is much more dynamic, open and harmonically rich than the classic overdrives with which it shares its lineage.
The Weight control adjusts saturation and bass, offering a wealth of tonal shaping possibilities. The Gain control goes from clean to a nice crunchy overdrive tone, and there is plenty of output volume on tap to flame-broil the input of any amplifier. The Compression switch lets you fine-tune the character of the distortion; choose between an open-voiced overdrive with more high mids and bite or more compression with less bite and a flatter mid response. This limited reissue is the same White Light circuit but in our now standard-size enclosure, with top-mounted jacks and Flexi-Switch-Technology.
