Electronic Audio Experiments Eldritch Blast V2
Electronic Audio Experiments · pedal
The Electronic Audio Experiments Eldritch Blast V2 is a high-gain fuzz built around an octave/intermodulation generator producing splatty, octave-up textures alongside sinister high-gain fuzz tones, shaped by a switchable active EQ and a More control governing the octave-feed intensity. The 2021 V2 revision moved to an SMT circuit board with soft-touch bypass switching and added a Chaos toggle for gated textural effects, along with improved EQ headroom, though it runs at slightly lower gain and output than the original V1 circuit.
