Versatile and cheap, this is an "always on" pedal

Imagine your favourite amp. What is it? A JCM800, a Bassman, a Mesa, it could be anything. Now imagine giving your favourite amp a new channel. It would sound smoother, lend more presence, even give a bit of a clean boost, but it would still sound very natural and mild. This is very hard to achieve, because you either get an underpowered od (tube screamers and their clones) with mids through the roof, or a sterile abnormal sound that takes away from your amp's natural characteristics. The Arrows doesn't claim to be either, and it does it's job spectacularly. Whether adding a nice sparkly dirt to a clean sound, or an extra kick for solos, the Earthquaker doesn't really have any cons. It also sounds amazing after fuzzes, but that's a whole new story.

Overall: Get this if you want to keep your amp's sound, but with more juice. You might want to skip if you play heavier distorted sounds, as it won't be as noticeable.
