EarthQuaker Devices Bows Germanium Preamp Effect Pedal With Box - Used

The Bows, a now-defunct EarthQuaker Devices pedal, is a Germanium preamp designed around a rare NOS OC139 black glass transistor, known for its reliable Fuzz with homogeneous, clear sound and accurate overdrive. The single Level knob adjusts the output level by setting the bias voltage of the transistor. A small amount of noise while dialing this in is perfectly normal. Toggle between “Treble” for a brighter, more resonant tone and “Full” for a warmer, bass-heavy push. Each mode has a little bit of grit to start with, but as you get past 12 o'clock on either setting their subtleties are accented.

Some significant scratching on the bottom of the pedal.
