Black Arts Toneworks · pedal
The Black Arts Toneworks Witch Burner is a boost pedal featuring a GRN (Green) low-gain switch that reduces compression for a solid, wider-sounding boost. Spans clean boost through lightly colored preamp drive, with the GRN switch fundamentally changing the compression character and openness of the boosted signal. Designed for guitarists needing a boost that adds presence and definition without significant coloration or unwanted compression. Made by Black Arts Toneworks.
