Product Description
Electronic Audio Experiments' Limelight V2 is a versatile dual-channel overdrive pedal, developed in collaboration with LA-based punk band Touche Amore. The band's guitarists Nick Steinhardt and Clayton Stevens are known for their distinctively bright and clear tones — forming the foundation of TA’s impassioned brand of post-hardcore. Their riffs morph effortlessly between serene clean passages and cacophonous blast beats, and this pedal is designed to cover that wide contrast of tones and everything in between!
In preparation for the recording of Touche Amore's LP 'Lament', Electronic Audio Experiments worked with Nick and Clayton to create a new op amp overdrive with equal parts aggression and chime. While loosely based in the "breaker" lineage, EAE made significant changes to the circuit for superior articulation and a much wider range of gain.
An independent front-end boost rounds out the package, perfect for adding power to clean tones or pushing the overdrive side into heavy distortion. While the primary goal was to help the band sound like their best selves, Limelight has a tone for everyone!
