Electronic Audio Experiments Glaive Octave Fuzz
Electronic Audio Experiments · pedal
The Electronic Audio Experiments Glaive is an analog op-amp octave fuzz pedal from EAE, described by the brand as their most dastardly drive effect, and reviewed by Guitar Pedal X as their heaviest fuzz with high-pass and high-cut filters and a built-in noise gate. The Glaive occupies the extreme end of the EAE fuzz lineup, using an op-amp circuit to produce a dense, upper-octave fuzz character with filtered frequency shaping and a noise gate to control the high-gain noise floor. It is handmade in Portland, Oregon, and suited to experimental, doom, and heavy psych applications.
