BROKEN ARROW OVERVIEW
The BROKEN ARROW is a very flexible overdrive with 4 presets for clipping options, an innovative gain adjustment feature that we call GAIN CYCLE, and a 3 band active EQ for maximum tonal flexibility. To top it off, we added a boost circuit which is the same type of MOSFET boost circuit found on our top selling PRISM Preamp pedal.
There are two sections of the BROKEN ARROW, namely the overdrive circuit and the boost circuit. We’ll delve into the boost circuit first since it is the first circuit in the signal chain.
BOOST OVERVIEW
The boost circuit is in its own true bypass loop which means it can be used independently of the DRIVE circuit. The boost circuit in the BROKEN ARROW is a MOSFET based boost much like the AMP MODE found in our best selling PRISM Preamp pedal. To activate/deactivate the boost circuit simply press the BOOST footswitch.
One of the things that makes the boost in the BROKEN ARROW different from other boosts on the market is that it has 4 presets available. Each preset is EQ’d slightly differently to allow it to alter how it interacts with the overdrive circuit in the BROKEN ARROW or any other pedal you may have in your rig.
OVERDRIVE OVERVIEW
The overdrive circuit of the BROKEN ARROW is a soft clipping overdrive circuit designed in the same vein as the venerable TS-808. The distinction between the TS-808 and the BROKEN ARROW being that there is no set “mid-hump” in the BROKEN ARROW and the tone is relatively flat when all controls are set at 12:00. Given that the BROKEN ARROW features an active 3 band EQ, there was no need to force a mid bump unnecessarily as a mid bump is easily achieved by increasing the MID knob.
The overdrive portion of the BROKEN ARROW is a completely new way of using and adjusting overdrive! With 4 clipping diode presets and our innovative GAIN CYCLE feature, the BROKEN ARROW will make most other overdrive pedals obsolete!

Curtis this demo is exactly what I wanted to hear! With my rig, Vox amp and I also got a Tele minus your smooth voice hahah!
Needless to say, I bought the pedal!
Erjim Delos Reyes, how is it in person? UA-cam tends to be naturally flattering when it comes to guitar tone audio.
This seems like a great Swiss Army knife type of pedal to use for medium crunch and/or boost or as a convenient EQ. Also a ton of configurable options to dial in 2-3 good sounds that could be used at one time based on the guitar and amp du jour. I think I'm going to buy a used one from the people already freaking out it has no MIDI and takes ~30 seconds to setup the 3 preset tones...nice and helpful review, thanks.
Absolutely. It does so many things so well. I am sure when you get it you will use it more than you expect!
@@KentToneworks Following up on this, I bought an open box one of these and it's great. The tweakable boost is super useful for boosting the pedal, other pedals, or amps including my super fussy Jubilee. The OD sounds like a nice TS, Timmy, or Marshally pedal, and the EQ is indeed sweet. Super easy to use, and easier to change settings on the fly than I thought. Gigging it this weekend!
That gain ramp or whatever you called it is neat.
yes it definitely is. Thanks for watching dude!
Great review! I just got the midi version and absolutely love the way it sounds. I do notice, however, a slight lag when activating the pedal. I notice it a bit in this video too. Am I just being crazy or do you notice it as well?
yeah happens with mine but only with the distortion side for some reason
Thanks for the great video; they never tagged a description for the mysterious magenta setting; also they kinda give the same description of the red green and magenta settings to the golden boy which they compare to the Blues breaker instead of a TS. Great pedal; sound and flexibility wise
Cool, thanks
Thanks for the demo. Good concept with the gain cycle!
Your Novo is sweet!
Thanks sunlounger29! I appreciate that! I find the gain cycle very useful. I have loved my Novo for a few years now. It just delivers and plays so nice.
Great demo bro!
Thanks! dude! I hope all is well!
Curtis Kent doing well man. How’s the family?
Would love to see a side by side with the Golden Boy
Sold! Need to get this.. I’m running a JHS MG and Analogman PoT into Matchless Spitfire. Probably drop this into the middle of the ODs?
Wish some of these demos had some metal 😒 all these pedal reviews have the same ol janies got a gun song
Maybe I missed something the first time I watched the video, but is it possible to have 100% of the gain without cycling through the different stages before?
Yes you totally can, and you can disconnect and reconnect and it will stay at that last setting you used.
Thanks!
Can you cycle through the options with a midi controller?
You can with the v2 the is now midi!
I love your videos but I quickly lose interest because your speaking voice is drastically lower than your playing volume. It's an inconvenience to ride the volume like this
I will adjust it up then. I think I naturally just lower it because I'm afraid i sound like I'm yelling at people! ha. I appreciate the feedback greatly.
@@KentToneworks no problem I mean it constructively and respectfully.
and I took it that way! I do appreciate it.
