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 Electronic Audio Experiments Surveyor is a compact re-interpretation of the Instrument Voicing Preamp (aka IVP), a cult classic and long discontinued rackmount preamp.
Featuring a unique, transformer based “Tube Voice” distortion generator, the Surveyor is highly responsive to the frequency content of the input signal. A two-band Baxandall EQ is placed before the distortion which is actually the complete opposite to how most drive pedals work. It may seem unorthodox, but by using this method, the gain can be selectively applied to a specific frequency band. This is incredibly useful is you want to boost the treble for that signature clangy sound or boost the bass for a fuzz overload!
Controls
- Level - Overall volume, with more than enough range for line level output or to overdrive a tube amplifier
- Gain - Amount of overdrive/saturation equally applied to all frequencies; highly interactive with the Bass and Treble settings
- Bass - Pre-gain low shelf boost/cut, +/-12dB @ 100Hz
- Treble - Pre-gain high shelf boost/cut, +/-12dB @ 3KHz
- Hi/Lo (switch) - Sets the range of the gain control. In the Lo setting the gain range is -15dB to +12dB, in the Hi setting the gain range is +9dB to +36dB.
Specifications:
- Bypass: Relay switching with true bypass
- Input impedance @ 1 Khz: 500kΩ
