The Electronic Audio Experiments Longsword is undoubtedly a loyal party member on the eternal quest for your ideal op-amp drive circuit. Getting somewhat "Hero's Journey" on us, EAE brings forth a dense and complex op-amp narrative to dissect and come to new overdriven conclusions.
Thoroughly modern yet strikingly familiar, the Longsword stakes its claim to op-amp glory with extensive EQ adjustment capabilities, several options for voicing changes, and an independent onboard boost effect. Through the Longsword's vast overdriven kingdom, we're treated to intuitive dials and switches for control over gain amount (Drive) to mid frequencies (Shift) and clipping modes (Diode). EAE's design is based around cascading gain stages, meaning the Longsword can do quite a bit on every front. The Longsword is incredibly agile and capable of filling many different overdriven roles from producing a light breakup to going fully chaotic and distorted. The list of lands this pedal has conquered is – like the sword itself – long, so go forth into new driven horizons and capture your own form of overdriven glory.
As one of the mainstay Electronic Audio Experiment pedals, the Longsword delivers on its reputation for bold and versatile overdrives.
