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 Electronic Audio Experiments Surveyor is a compact re-interpretation of the Instrument Voicing Preamp (aka IVP), a cult classic and long discontinued rackmount preamp.

Featuring a unique, transformer based “Tube Voice” distortion generator, the Surveyor is highly responsive to the frequency content of the input signal. A two-band Baxandall EQ is placed before the distortion which is actually the complete opposite to how most drive pedals work. It may seem unorthodox, but by using this method, the gain can be selectively applied to a specific frequency band. This is incredibly useful is you want to boost the treble for that signature clangy sound or boost the bass for a fuzz overload!

Controls 

  • Level – Overall volume, with more than enough range for line level output or to overdrive a tube amplifier
  • Gain – Amount of overdrive/saturation equally applied to all frequencies; highly interactive with the Bass and Treble settings
  • Bass – Pre-gain low shelf boost/cut, +/-12dB @ 100Hz
  • Treble – Pre-gain high shelf boost/cut, +/-12dB @ 3KHz
  • Hi/Lo (switch) – Sets the range of the gain control. In the Lo setting the gain range is -15dB to +12dB, in the Hi setting the gain range is +9dB to +36dB. 

Specifications: 

  • Bypass: Relay switching with true bypass
  • Input impedance @ 1 Khz: 500kΩ
  • Output impedance @ 1 Khz: 2kΩ
  • Power: 9V DC, 2.1 mm center negative barrel. The current draw is 75 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.

Preamp & Amp Sim Pedals,

Amp and cab simulator pedals recreate the sound and response of guitar amplifiers, speaker cabinets and microphones in a compact pedal format. They are useful for recording direct, practising silently, running straight into a PA, or building a pedalboard that does not rely on a traditional amp.

Many amp and cab sims include different amplifier voices, impulse responses, EQ controls and headphone outputs. They are a strong choice for modern guitarists who need consistent tone at home, in the studio and on stage without carrying heavy amplifiers and speaker cabinets.

Preamp

Preamp 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. Preamp related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
