The EarthQuaker Devices White Light Overdrive is an overdrive pedal from EQD voiced after the Marshall Silver Jubilee amplifier, capturing the bright, chimey, harmonically rich overdrive character of the Silver Jubilee preamp stage. The White Light delivers the clear, articulate overdrive associated with Marshall high-headroom amplifiers in the mid-to-high gain register, producing a tone suited to classic rock, blues rock, and hard rock lead playing. It targets players who want Silver Jubilee-style Marshall overdrive character in a compact pedal format without relying on the specific amplifier.
The EarthQuaker Devices White Light V2 is the updated version of the original White Light Marshall Silver Jubilee-voiced overdrive from EQD, refining the circuit based on player feedback from the original version while maintaining the core Silver Jubilee preamp character that defined the first release. The V2 improvements address specific playing nuances and control response of the original, providing a more refined and playable experience while retaining the bright, chimey, articulate overdrive character associated with the Marshall Silver Jubilee amplifier. The White Light V2 is the current production version.
