Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Electronic Audio Experiments Longsword is an overdrive pedal from EAE and the brand first product, released in 2015 when EAE began handcrafting boutique drive devices in Portland, Oregon. As the flagship introduction of the EAE product line, the Longsword established the brand design philosophy of characterful, reactive overdrive with boutique component quality and medieval weapon naming conventions. The Longsword delivers overdrive character suited to players who want a boutique, personality-driven drive voice with the reactive feel and tonal character that EAE has built its reputation around.
The JHS Hare Drive is a boutique overdrive pedal from JHS Pedals offering a focused and responsive gain stage suited for blues, country, and rock styles where dynamic, touch-sensitive overdrive character is valued. The Hare Drive produces a warm, organic overdrive that responds to guitar volume and pick attack with natural compression and bloom rather than clipped, hard-edge saturation. JHS designed the Hare Drive as a gain pedal with character rather than extreme saturation, positioning it in the moderate-gain range where dynamics and expressiveness are priorities over heavy clipping. It pairs well with both clean and lightly driven tube amplifiers as a primary overdrive or as a sustain-extending boost. The Hare Drive suits players who value natural, expressive drive feel over heavy, static gain structures.
