EarthQuaker Devices Night Wire V2
EarthQuaker Devices · pedal
The EarthQuaker Devices Night Wire V2 refines the original Night Wire's dual-filter harmonic tremolo circuit with quieter, improved circuitry and Flexi-switch bypass switching, while retaining the same core swirling, dimensional tremolo character and Manual/LFO/Attack filter modulation modes. Users who owned both versions describe V2 as a subtle but meaningful step up, delivering a significantly more engaging playing experience than the original. The adjustable dual-filter design and harmonic tremolo character remain unchanged from V1; the improvements are in noise reduction and switching functionality.
