Emulate the resonance of sympathetic strings and produce effects that sound something like a synthesizer and a reverb and have endless fun traversing its intricate layers and design your own unique tone like it’s an extension of your instrument!

To put it simply, the simulated vibrations form a sustaining spectral extension of your instrument that retains a tangible physicality despite its surrealist underpinnings, obviously.

Key Features

  • Buffered Bypass or Trails Bypass – Choose whether to buffer your signal, or let the Prismatic Wall resonate even after turning it off.
  • Wet/Dry Tone Control – Choose just how much of the prismatic wall is in your tone.
  • Primitive Analogue Feel – The hardware combines primitive DSP with analogue saturation to give you a sonic character that sounds from a particular era of analogue tone.

The effects make you feel like you are virtually plucking the strings too, and letting the reactive tone send you and anyone who hears it into a trance, where you can close your eyes and feel how the sound reacts.

By using the fully digital user interface this enables all parameters to be controlled via MIDI, saved as presets, and even modulated by the onboard LFO. In addition, the Morphing function enables controllable transitions between two distinct settings via the Aux footswitch or an expression/CV source.

Who are Electronic Audio Experiments?

Electronic Audio Experiments is an exploration in sound and texture via electronics. Founded in 2015 by guitarist and electrical engineer John Snyder, EAE focuses primarily on stompboxes for electric guitar and bass, with occasional ventures into amplification and synthesis.

Assembled in a small workshop in Boston, MA by a close-knit team with strong ties to the world of audio, offering a mix of unique, purpose-built designs and homages to forgotten circuits of the past—all engineered to exceed the highest standards of quality and enrich the sounds of scrappy touring bands and discerning studio artists alike.

Electronic Audio Experiments

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Electronic Audio Experiments is represented by Preamp & DI Pedals, Overdrive Pedals and Distortion Pedals. Current listings include Prismatic Wall, Surveyor Preamp and Model feT Preamp. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Specialist Effects Pedals

Specialist effects alter the signal in ways that do not sit cleanly inside one established family. They may use granular processing, frequency shifting, resonators, freeze or sustain, bit reduction, ring modulation, feedback networks or combinations of several techniques. The relevant distinction is the underlying process, its tracking or latency, and how completely the dry signal can be blended or replaced.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Buffered Bypass

Buffered bypass keeps an active buffer in the signal path when the effect is bypassed. This can help drive long cable runs and high-capacitance boards, but the buffer’s input and output loading may also change the feel or frequency response. It is not the same as true bypass. Check the buffer behaviour, output impedance, placement around fuzz and the number of other buffers already in the chain before deciding whether it suits the rig.

Digital

Digital products use conversion and processing to create, store or control the effect. This can provide presets, complex routing, repeatable algorithms, USB, MIDI and firmware features, but conversion, latency, power requirements and clocking depend on the design. Check the input and output levels, sample or impulse-response support, bypass behaviour and current draw when combining a digital unit with analogue pedals or a direct recording setup.

MIDI

MIDI sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying instrument audio itself. Program changes can recall presets, continuous controllers can move parameters and MIDI clock or transport messages can synchronise timing. Check the connector or USB method, channel and message support, clock direction, latency and whether the device needs a separate MIDI host or adapter. MIDI control is powerful, but compatibility depends on the exact messages each product understands.

Presets

Preset-capable products can store and recall effect settings, signal paths or control assignments. The useful differences are the number of locations, whether footswitches or MIDI can recall them, what parameters are saved, how quickly they change and whether trails continue between settings. Check editing, backup, firmware, expression and USB requirements, and confirm that the preset system covers the parameters you need rather than assuming every control is recalled.
