Cutting-Edge Op-Amp Overdrive Power – The Electronic Audio Experiments Lonsword Op-Amp Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal
The Electronic Audio Experiments Longsword is yet another contender in the endless void of op-amp based drive pedalsfamiliar but with some novel twists. Cascaded gain stages allow for the full range from clean boost to massive distortion, all without sacrificing tonal flexibility. The equalizer combines bass and treble shelving filters with an active, frequency-selectable midrange boost/cut control. This lets the user sculpt a diverse array of tones and carve out a niche in even the most dense of mixes. The Longsword has a broad frequency response which makes it work equally well with guitar, baritone, and bass.
