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.
