Description

The Arborist by Spruce Effects is a dual-channel drive pedal designed to deliver warm, Germanium overdrive tones as well as in-your-face 70's rock sounds. The Arborist V2 retains the original tones of V1 at certain settings but offers more variety and flexibility. It features independent passive treble and bass controls, along with a versatile 3-way voicing switch with three distinct modes: smooth, dynamic, and comp. These modes are based on a unique germanium feedback/diode clipping arrangement, allowing for fine-tuning by interacting with other controls.

Key Features and Improvements:
- Switchcraft Jacks
- High-quality Taiway toggle
- Premium Gorva true bypass footswitch
- Enclosure printed and milled in the USA
- Hand-wired and assembled in California
- Standard negative ground power
- Improved noise floor and RF filtering
- Various small circuit stability improvements
- More stable biasing
- Added low-pass filter on output to reduce harsh highs

Controls:
- Top-mounted jacks, input on the right, output on the left
- True-bypass stomp switch for on/off, indicated by LED
- "Volume" controls the amount of output
- "Gain" controls the gain of the dual transistor stages for tube-amp like overdrive at reasonable volumes
- "Treble" and "Bass" controls work similarly to the famous Fender Bassman 5f6A tone stack, allowing for fine-tuning of highs and lows in different voicing positions
- 3-way voicing toggle to change clipping characteristics

Power:
- Requires isolated power supplies
- 9V, center-negative power
- Current draw: 2.6mA

The Arborist V2 is available in Dana Sage (mint green) and Vintage Green (darker) finishes, priced at $180.00.
