Four Clipping Flavors, Instantly Programmable
Press and hold the drive footswitch to cycle through four distinct clipping options: Green for classic Tube Screamer silicon compression, Magenta for asymmetrical three-diode rhythm sounds, Blue for symmetrical Timmy-style transparency, and Amber using LED clipping for that open, vintage Marshall vibe. Set it once, and the pedal remembers your choice forever.
Gain Cycle: The Revolutionary Feature.
Here's the game-changer: press both footswitches together to cycle through 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of your maximum gain setting. Start your verse clean, hit it for the chorus, bump it again for the bridge, and unleash full fury for your solo—all without touching a knob. It's like having four different overdrive levels in one pedal.
Vintage Tone, Modern Reliability
The Jackson Audio Broken Arrow is a boutique distortion pedal inspired by the iconic sounds of classic British amplifiers. Designed to deliver rich, saturated distortion with dynamic touch sensitivity and smooth harmonic overtones, the Broken Arrow offers a versatile gain range perfect for blues, rock, and modern genres.
Featuring simple yet powerful controls for Gain, Tone, and Level, this pedal provides authentic amp-like response and musical sustain. Handcrafted in the USA with premium components, the Broken Arrow is built for players seeking vintage-inspired distortion with modern reliability.
Active EQ That Actually Works
The Broken Arrow features a true active EQ with ±12dB of cut and boost for bass, middle, and treble. This isn't just tone shaping—it's surgical control over your frequency response, giving you the power to sculpt your overdrive exactly how you want it. Smart Design That Remembers Everything. Every setting is stored in internal memory. Your clipping choice, gain cycle position, boost EQ—the Broken Arrow boots up exactly where you left it. This is overdrive built for the modern musician who needs reliability and instant recall in any situation.
MOSFET Boost With Four EQ Personalities
The built-in MOSFET boost (the same circuit loved in Jackson's Prism and Bloom pedals) sits in front of the overdrive for maximum flexibility. Press and hold the boost switch to access four different EQ settings: treble booster brightness, fat midrange warmth, or full-range transparency—whatever your amp and style demand.
About Brad Jackson
Meet Brad Jackson - commercial pilot by day, tone perfectionist always. His journey from building world-class amplifiers to crafting precision guitar pedals is a story of innovation, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of sonic perfection. For a decade, Jackson Amp Works produced legendary amplifiers that graced stages worldwide, including John Mayer's Battle Studies World Tour. But when the music industry shifted toward digital modeling in 2018, Brad made a bold pivot: he closed the amp company and channeled that expertise into something new. Jackson Audio was born from this transition - not as a retreat, but as evolution. Every pedal carries the DNA of those amplifier years: the understanding of how tubes saturate, how circuits interact, and how musicians actually use their gear. Brad's approach combines the precision of aviation with the artistry of music, creating pedals that solve real problems for working musicians while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in a compact enclosure.
