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 Model feT is a transistor-based preamp pedal designed around the legendary Sunn Model T amplifier. Many of the Model T's most famous tones come from hitting its front end with a distortion or fuzz pedal. With that in mind, the Model feT has been designed to take other pedals in front of it, in addition to sounding great on its own. In the true spirit of the original, the Model feT features a massive amount of headroom and volume output and can be plugged directly into a power amp, cab simulation or DAW, for exceptional versatility. 

Controls

  • Normal – Turn clockwise to add gain from the parallel “Normal” channel, which has a neutral voicing. Higher settings produce a thicker gain sound. The normal channel is fully muted when this control is at zero. 
  • Brite – Turn clockwise to add gain from the parallel “Brite” channel, which is voiced for extra midrange and sparkle. Adds bite to the drive tone at higher settings. The “Brite” channel is fully muted when this control is at zero.
  • Bass, Midrange, Treble – 3-band FMV EQ with the same moderately mid-scooped voicing as the original amp: highly interactive and nonlinear, but familiar. 
  • Master – Sets overall output volume. This control is capable of high volumes in order to access quieter clean settings and to properly drive an external power amp. 

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 65 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 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.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

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.

Fuzz

Fuzz pedals create thick saturated distortion with a raw and highly expressive character that differs significantly from standard overdrive or distortion pedals. Vintage-inspired fuzz circuits remain hugely influential in psychedelic rock, doom, garage, shoegaze and experimental music.

Different fuzz designs respond very differently to pickups, guitar volume and playing dynamics, allowing players to move between smooth sustain, gated textures and aggressive spluttering tones.
