Heads up Builders widely report inconsistent quality from PCB Guitar Mania boards, and whether a given board works is a gamble. Read recent forum reports before ordering.

From the vendor

Project overview

Through a simple single knob, this board inspired by the EarthQuaker Devices Arrows V2 improves definition and boosts your waves down into the rest of your chain. The signal will go through like an arrow to its target!

Introduction

This board acts like a crossbow by shooting your signal, adding extra gains to all your dirt pedals, as well as throwing light on the pickup doors. It’s perfect for clean boosting an amp, driving it over the edge, or pushing dirt boxes into sonic rapture. Remove that excessive dirt from the bass of heavy rubber pedals, transform the unnecessary light into enormous gains, and make your waves pop with energy and style.

The Crossbow Device is easy-to-build, and the interface is even simpler; one control that will boost or decrease your signal.

Important: The Crossbow Device version 1.0 has an error in the notch between R13 and C12. As soon as we discovered this mistake, we removed it from circulation. If you have acquired this version, check the Building Notes below to address this issue with an easy fix. The subsequent versions have already been fixed.
