the longsword from our dear friends at electronic audio experiments is an absolute monster of a dirt box. at risk of sounding like "yeah dad, ya told us." this op-amp based drive machine can do everything from clean boost to massive wall of sound distortion. it's become very normal to see this staple on many different rigs. bass, guitar, baritone, extended range, 8/9 strings, etc... it's power is in it's flexibilty and it's meticulously crafted eq section.
we really love this pedal. and we really love john and his killer crew at eae. so we got an exclusive batch in cool monochrome camo with three knob color options, black, grey, or white.
