Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.45% — somewhat different

The Carl Martin Contour is an active EQ and tone shaping pedal from Denmark providing independent bass, midrange, and treble control for comprehensive frequency contouring of the guitar signal. Designed to correct room resonances, amp voicing limitations, and pickup imbalances by actively boosting or cutting frequency ranges. Functions as an always-on corrective tool in complex signal chains or as a broad tonal shaper for adapting the guitar tone to different performance contexts. Made in Denmark by Carl Martin.
The Electronic Audio Experiments Longsword Eastside Exclusive Mono Camo is a retailer-exclusive colorway of the standard Longsword V4.5, sold through Eastside Music Supply in White, Grey, and Black camo finishes at the same price point as the standard-finish pedal. The underlying circuit is identical to the V4.5: the same op-amp-based cascaded-gain overdrive spanning clean boost to wall-of-sound distortion, shelving Bass/Treble, sweepable active Mid EQ, and broad frequency response suited to guitar, baritone, and bass. The edition exists purely as a cosmetic variant for collectors and Eastside customers wanting a distinctive finish.
