Description
here at Just Pedals we love this Electronic Audio Experiments Limelight V2 Overdrive & Boost Pedal.
Electronic Audio Experiments' Limelight V2 is a versatile dual-channel overdrive pedal, developed in collaboration with LA-based punk band Touche Amore. The band's guitarists Nick Steinhardt and Clayton Stevens are known for their distinctively bright and clear tones — forming the foundation of TA’s impassioned brand of post-hardcore. Their riffs morph effortlessly between serene clean passages and cacophonous blast beats, and this pedal is designed to cover that wide contrast of tones and everything in between!
In preparation for the recording of Touche Amore's LP 'Lament', Electronic Audio Experiments worked with Nick and Clayton to create a new op amp overdrive with equal parts aggression and chime. While loosely based in the "breaker" lineage, EAE made significant changes to the circuit for superior articulation and a much wider range of gain.
An independent front-end boost rounds out the package, perfect for adding power to clean tones or pushing the overdrive side into heavy distortion. While the primary goal was to help the band sound like their best selves, Limelight has a tone for everyone!
Controls
- Boost: Adjusts the Boost channel from 0dB to +21dB of clean gain when turned clockwise.
- Drive: Simultaneous control of two gain stages, with a natural mid-range boost as you turn it clockwise. Achieves approximately 50dB at the maximum setting.
- Tone: Adjustable the low-pass filter. Clockwise for more treble, and counter-clockwise for less.
- Volume: Output level control. Turn clockwise for more volume.
- Focus: Variable low cut in the drive section. Adjusts the amount of chime and mid-range presence.
- Left Footswitch: Engages drive circuit.
- Right Footswitch: Engages boost circuit.

Boost
A “boost” pedal, also known as a “clean boost,” is a type of guitar effects pedal designed to increase the volume of the guitar signal without adding significant distortion or coloration to the tone. Boost pedals are used to amplify the signal level, allowing guitarists to achieve higher volume levels or to push their amplifier into overdrive for increased saturation and sustain.
Boost pedals typically feature a simple interface with controls for adjusting the level of boost, often represented by a single knob or a toggle switch. When engaged, the boost pedal increases the gain of the signal passing through it, effectively amplifying the sound. Unlike overdrive or distortion pedals, which introduce clipping and saturation to the signal, boost pedals aim to provide a clean and transparent volume increase.
Boost pedals are versatile tools that can serve various purposes in a guitarist’s rig:
1. **Volume Boost**: Boost pedals can be used to increase the volume of the guitar signal, allowing players to stand out during solos or to compensate for differences in volume between guitars or pickup settings.
2. **Overdrive Stacking**: Boost pedals are commonly used to push the front end of an overdrive or distortion pedal, resulting in increased saturation and sustain. By placing the boost pedal before a drive pedal in the signal chain, guitarists can achieve higher levels of gain and distortion without sacrificing clarity or dynamics.
3. **Amp Pushing**: Boost pedals can also be used to drive the input stage of a tube amplifier harder, causing the amp to naturally overdrive and produce a more saturated and harmonically rich tone. This is particularly useful for guitarists seeking to achieve classic tube amp breakup at lower volume levels.
4. **Tone Shaping**: Some boost pedals feature EQ controls or tone shaping options, allowing guitarists to tailor the frequency response of their signal. These pedals can be used to boost specific frequencies or to shape the overall tonal characteristics of the guitar sound.
Overall, boost pedals are essential tools for guitarists looking to enhance their tone, increase volume levels, or drive their amplifier into overdrive for added saturation and sustain. Whether used as a standalone effect or in combination with other pedals, boost pedals offer versatility and flexibility in shaping the guitar sound.

Overdrive
Overdrive is a popular guitar effect that creates a warm, distorted sound by amplifying the signal of an electric guitar, typically using a pedal or an amp’s built-in circuit. The effect simulates the natural distortion that occurs when a tube amplifier is pushed to its limit, creating a rich, harmonic response that adds sustain, warmth, and character to the tone. Overdrive pedals are commonly used to add grit and growl to a clean tone without the harshness of full distortion.
The overdrive effect works by boosting the input signal, causing the amplifier to break up and clip the waveform, resulting in a smooth, musical distortion. This is often more subtle and less aggressive than other forms of distortion, making overdrive pedals ideal for blues, classic rock, and country players who seek a dynamic sound that responds to their playing touch. Overdrive pedals can be used in conjunction with other effects like delay and reverb to shape a more complex, evolving sound. Popular overdrive pedals include the Ibanez Tube Screamer, the Fulltone OCD, and the Boss OD-3, each offering different tonal characteristics, from smooth and bluesy to punchy and aggressive.
Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
