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.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion pedals create a heavier, more aggressive gain sound than most overdrive pedals, giving guitarists the sustain, bite and saturation needed for rock, punk, metal and hard-hitting lead tones. They can turn a clean amp into a high-gain platform or add an extra layer of intensity to an already driven sound.

Some distortion pedals are tight and modern, while others are raw, fizzy or vintage-inspired. Choosing the right one depends on whether you want chunky rhythm tones, singing sustain, scooped metal sounds or a classic hard-rock voice with plenty of attack.

Distortion

Distortion pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Distortion related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
