Purchased new in a musical instrument store in Tokyo in November 2025. It is a beautiful item, only tested at home. arca is an overdrive pedal with a translucent sound, as opposed to the glass-like transparency. Without compromising the characteristics of the original sound image, it adds a more attractive mid-range and harmonics that are highly compatible with the actual sound, making it organic and possessing a unique originality. It achieves a sound image that is neither harsh nor hard, but rather combines softness and transparency, within the gain range of clean to classic distortion. The LED indicator is designed to change color depending on the remaining battery power, making it easy to use for users who want to use distortion pedals with batteries. arca realizes the somewhat commonplace proposition of a transparent and linear drive sound with Virtues' interpretation and originality. While the concept may seem transparent, the reality is different; arca maintains resolution, transparency, and a natural listening experience while achieving attractive velocity, clear separation, and an extremely high-quality and rich mid-range. The sound image of this pedal, which is neither harsh nor hard, but rather combines softness and transparency, evokes a landscape seen through a lens, and with this sound image, it is defined as translucent. ◯Control: Volume/Gain/Treble/Bass ◯True Bypass ◯Power: Compatible with DC9 center negative (2.1mm) ◯Connections: INPUT, OUTPUT, DC Jack (2.1mm/9VDC) ◯Dimensions: 61 x 112 x 46 (mm)
