Product Description

Founded in 2015 and hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, Electronic Audio Experiments are more than just a pedal manufacturer, they are "an exploration in sound and texture via electronics". The Longsword Distortion features cascaded gain stages delivering a full range of tones from a clean boost to searing, high gain distortion and everything in between. With controls for bass and treble with an active, frequency-selectable midrange boost/cut control, it's incredibly easy to sculpt a diverse array of overdrive and distortion sounds that are sure to cut through in a mix. The Longsword's broad frequency response ensures it'll work equally as well with guitar, baritone and even bass.
