This is the Electronic Audio Experiments Longsword Distortion Pedal from Electronic Audio Experiments,Other, now available in the Guitar Pedals category on Guitars Pedals Amps and Stuff.. Read More below.

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.

Controls

  • Level – Output volume
  • Drive – Go from light grit to heavy overdrive
  • Low/High – James/Baxandall tone stack (shelving filters)
  • Mid – Active midrange boost/cut
  • Shift – Selects frequency controlled by Mid pot
  • Diode – Selects between clipping diodes, to alter dynamics and headroom
  • Up – MOSFET clipping, medium compression
  • Center – No diodes, minimal compression
  • Down – Silicon diode clipping, maximum compression
  • Boost (Footswitch) – Engages a front end mid boost
  • Boost (Knob) – Adds up to 20dB of gain when the Boost is engaged

Specifications: 

  • Bypass: Relay switching with true bypass
  • Input impedance @ 1 Khz: 500kΩ
  • Output impedance @ 1 Khz: 1kΩ
  • Power: 9V DC, 2.1 mm center negative barrel. The current draw is 75 mA.
  • We recommend a regulated, isolated power supply rated for 100 mA minimum. The PSU input is protected against reverse polarity and over-voltage up to 24V. Our pedals do not accept batteries.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion clips the waveform more firmly than overdrive, generating dense upper harmonics, longer sustain and a more compressed response. Circuit topology and filtering decide whether the sound is tight and focused, broad and aggressive, smooth or deliberately abrasive. Gain sets the amount of clipping, while pre- and post-distortion tone controls strongly influence low-end definition, midrange presence and high-frequency texture.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Distortion

Distortion pedals deliver the raw, aggressive edge that defines rock and metal, transforming your clean tone into something powerful and full of attitude. By pushing your signal into rich harmonic saturation, they create thick, sustaining sounds that cut through any mix. From classic crunchy riffs to high-gain modern mayhem, distortion pedals give you total control over how wild or tight your tone gets. Whether you’re crafting searing leads or heavy rhythm walls, they’re an essential tool for adding energy, bite, and character to your playing.
