ARC OF LIGHT

Where analog comes alive

Tone before gain.

Arc of Light is a boutique guitar pedal brand born from a simple obsession:

Tone before gain. Feel before volume. No chase for excess.
No trend-driven circuits.
Just the pursuit of that precise moment where an amp starts to breathe and the guitar truly speaks.

A Vision

A musical, organic, and timeless approach to guitar effects.

Simple circuits refined to their essence.

Components chosen for character, not hype.

Pedals designed as real instruments, built to enhance an existing sound—not overwrite it.

A Sonic Signature

Designed to:

Preserve the natural character of your guitar and amp
Respond dynamically to touch and volume
Move seamlessly from subtle tone enhancement to rich, alive saturation
Feel equally at home into a clean amp or one already pushed

Fuzz. Boost. Overdrive.

Labels don’t matter.

Grain, feel, and inspiration do.

Built by a Guitarist

Arc of Light is imagined and built by JB, guitarist first, builder second.

Every circuit is developed in rehearsals, studios, and on stage.

Real amps. Real volume.

Not simulations.
Not spreadsheets.

The brand is an extension of a musician’s journey, seeking less artifice, more truth, and a sound that makes you play five minutes longer than planned.
