For players who want an overdrive pedal that can cover everything from subtle grit to saturated distortion with exceptional tonal control, the Electronic Audio Experiments Longsword is a commanding choice. Designed with cascaded op-amp gain stages, the Longsword delivers a highly tunable gain structure that makes it equally effective for guitar, baritone, or bass. The EQ section features independent low and high shelving filters paired with an active, frequency-selectable mid control, allowing you to sculpt a wide array of textures and tones — from scooped and airy to mid-forward punch. Its broad frequency response cuts through dense mixes with precision, while the diode selector provides three clipping modes for varied compression and headroom. The footswitchable front-end mid boost and up to 20dB of additional gain expand its expressive range even further. Blues players, metalheads, punks, and classic rock aficionados are all sure to find the tones they’re looking for among these wide-ranging, excellent-sounding settings. Housed in a rugged Black Sparkle enclosure with relay-based true bypass switching, the Longsword is as reliable as it is versatile. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
