Electronic Audio Experiments Longsword Eastside Exclusive Mono Camo
Electronic Audio Experiments · pedal
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.
