In a nutshell the Beholder consists of the following: 1) an emulated spring/hall reverb using a
series of digital delay chips (themselves ensconced in a “brick” module) that feeds back onto
itself, and 2) a high-gain fuzz. When you first turn on the Beholder you will find yourself in an
utterly destroyed soundscape, but one with endless possibilities. Enjoy the chaos!

Manual

Beholder

The Electronic Audio Experiments Citadel is a preamp-style overdrive inspired by the everlasting sounds of British amplifiers from the '60s and '70s. Rather than emulating a specific model, it encompasses our favorite parts of a whole generation of amplifiers including warm piano-like cleans, bright clear overdrive, and sizzling lead tones.

The Citadel began as a series of experiments on our Model feT pedal. Like any tube amp, there are ample opportunities for modifications. After all, the original Model T was itself a modified take on the Super Bass sound, delivering a distinct variety of the plexi flavor with fuzzy breakup and a huge low frequency punch. So, what if we flavored it our own way? Once Brad completed his "Marsha" prototype, it was on. In a way, you can almost think of the Citadel as a re-plexi-fied Model T sound, trading low end sludge for a sparkly midrange focus. In another way, you can think of it as what we’d do if the original Model T wasn’t too sacrosanct to modify.

Finally, like our Model feT, the Citadel emulates both the preamp and power amp sections of a tube amp to provide a full-bodied overdrive that feels powerful and responds wonderfully to boosts, drives, and fuzzes in front. It can be used either a conventional drive pedal or as the workhorse of an ampless signal chain.

Citadel

Prismatic Wall is a sympathetic resonator designed to transmute incoming sounds into the vibrations of an illusory bank of tuned strings. Part reverb and part synthesizer, its metallic yet warm timbres span from the subtle harmonic aura of a third bridge to the rich chromatic suspensions of a grand piano. The simulated vibrations form a sustaining spectral extension of your instrument that retains a tangible physicality despite its surrealist underpinnings. The resonances are reactive in nature: playing in tune excites specific pitches, while percussive attacks excite all the strings in tandem.

Quick Start Guide

Prismatic Wall

Sending is an analog delay that melds the archaic voice of bucket brigade devices with a fully modern toolbox of digital control. It embraces the character and idiosyncrasies of the medium while delivering high quality sound and performance-friendly features worthy of the modern musician.

Using two MN3005 BBDs and comprehensive analog processing techniques, Sending can delay a sound up to a full second without clock noise, and it can be pushed to even longer times for compelling sonic degradation. At the input is a discrete preamplifier capable of subtle enhancement or warm saturation that melds perfectly with the delay line. A dual-mode feedback filter shapes the repeats into deep pulses or dub-style bright echoes. Its flexible LFO engine can modulate the delay time to create gentle movement or musical chaos. Conducting this analog ensemble is a 32-bit, 100MHz processor granting deep user control, preset functionality, and MIDI access to every parameter.

Sending is our love letter to the antiquated yet enduring technology of analog delay. As you explore its many shades of interplay between past and future, we hope you find it as immersive as we do.

Sending v2

Mirror House erzeugt zwei tonhöhenverschobene Kopien eines eingehenden Signals, die sich in gleich großen, aber entgegengesetzten Intervallen vom Original entfernen. Dieser diametrische Ansatz des Pitch-Shifting ermöglicht seltsame Detunings, desorientierende mikrotonale Cluster, parallele Harmonie-Akkorde oder hässliche, bizarre Dissonanzen. (Es kann auch ein Chorus sein.) Die beiden Stimmen lassen sich sowohl statisch als auch dynamisch verstimmen, mit verschiedenen Bereichen und Verhaltensweisen. Hüllkurvengesteuertes Pitch-Shifting erzeugt dynamisches Vibrato, Glissando und Dive-Bomb-Effekte, wenn sich die Stimmen trennen und wieder zusammenfinden. Im Flutter-Modus steuert Animate einen zufälligen LFO für einen geschmackvoll schrägen Chorus- und Vibrato-Sound. 

Mirror House creates two pitch-shifted copies of an incoming signal which veer off into equal and opposite directions. This diametric approach to pitch shifting is capable of weird detuning, disorienting microtonal clusters, chords of parallel harmony, or ugly, strange dissonance. (It can also be a chorus.)

The two pitch voices can be shifted both statically and dynamically, with a selection of ranges and behaviors. Envelope controlled pitch-shifting creates dynamic vibrato, glissando, and divebomb effects as the voices are pulled apart and come back together. In Flutter mode, Animate controls a random LFO, for a tastefully off-kilter chorus and vibrato. Detune and Flutter modes each have a static range of a semitone, while Shift mode is quantized up to an octave in both directions. Depending on your harmonic tendencies, this particular array of features is perhaps an invitation, perhaps a provocation.

This pedal was originally developed in collaboration with our friends in the band Pile, and as of Version 2 is now available as a steady offering in our product catalog. This new version features the new Flutter mode, improved envelope sensitivity, and a reduced noise floor compared to Version 1.
