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.57% — moderately similar

The Electronic Audio Experiments Citadel is a JFET preamp and high-gain drive pedal from EAE, handmade in Portland, Oregon. The Citadel is designed around a high-gain JFET preamp stage that delivers a distinctive, forward, mid-present drive character suited to lead playing where note articulation and sustain at high gain are the primary goals. EAE uses the medieval weapon and fortress naming convention across their lineup, and the Citadel represents their high-gain JFET preamp territory. It is a boutique product with limited global distribution, valued for its distinct JFET character and articulate gain response.
The Electronic Audio Experiments Model feT is an amp-style distortion pedal from EAE, handmade in Portland, Oregon, designed to replicate the saturation character of a tube amplifier using FET transistor technology that approximates the behavior of vacuum tubes in a solid-state circuit. EAE describes it alongside their transistor overdrives and JFET preamps as a complete amp-style distortion rather than a conventional pedal distortion. The Model feT produces a distortion character with the harmonic depth, compression, and natural feel associated with cranked tube amplifiers, aimed at players who want amp-like saturation in a compact pedal format.
