The EAE Surveyor: a compact re-imagination of the legendary Instrument Voicing Preamp (IVP), beloved by musicians for its iconic clangy tone and unique solid-state voice. With the Surveyor, we've distilled the essence of the IVP into a versatile pedal that transcends genre boundaries and delivers a wealth of saturated textures. www.electronicaudioexperiment...
At the heart of the Surveyor lies its innovative "Tube Voice" distortion generator, featuring a transformer-loaded design that responds dynamically to the frequency content of the input signal. Unlike traditional drive pedals, the Surveyor employs a two-band shelving EQ before distortion is applied, allowing for precise control over gain distribution across the frequency spectrum. Boost the treble for that classic clang, or dial in maximum bass for fuzz-laden overdrive-whatever your sonic preference, the Surveyor delivers.
But the versatility of the Surveyor doesn't end there. While it excels with guitar, especially when paired with aluminum neck guitars and single-coil pickups, its sonic capabilities extend to bass, synthesizers, drum machines, and even vocals. Whether you're seeking gritty distortion, creamy overdrive, or anything in between, the Surveyor empowers you to sculpt your sound with unparalleled precision.
Compact yet powerful, the Surveyor is designed for both studio and stage, offering a wide range of tonal possibilities in a rugged, roadworthy enclosure. Experience the legacy of the IVP in a modern, pedalboard-friendly format with the Electronic Audio Experiments Surveyor. Unlock a universe of sonic exploration and make your music stand out like never before.
