Electronic Audio Experiments Glaive

The Electronic Audio Experiments Glaive is the most dangerous gain device in EAEs lineup. This discordant yet deceptively versatile op amp fuzz is capable of over +80dB of gain. The Weight knob adjusts a lightly resonant high pass filter at the input, for tones ranging from tight, ripped- speaker grind to bass-rich sludge. Texture blends in a full-wave rectified analog signal, producing an octave up that gets fed into the fuzz input.

Use it for subtle scrambling, or to generate piercing intermodulation products and sub-bass artifacts with a synthesizer-like attack. The LPF toggle can focus harsh overtones or unleash a full-spectrum cut through any mix. Finally, the Squelch toggle enables a brute-force, highly effective bias gate that can temper even the most fanatical gain levels and impart a crumbly, ripping quality to the note decay. The whole package is rounded out with a robust, high-headroom 24V internal power supply and quiet buffered bypass with intelligent momentary/latching functionality. Indeed, despite its belligerent nature, the Glaive possesses a deadly finesse.
