Electronic Audio Experiments releases Citadel overdrive pedal
December 1, 2022 · 1 sources
Electronic Audio Experiments released the Citadel in December 2022, listing it as the pedal's V1 initial release. The maker describes it as a preamp-style overdrive inspired by British amplifiers from the '60s and '70s, and says it emulates both the preamp and power amp sections of a tube amp1.
The maker says the Citadel began as experiments on its Model feT pedal, and describes it as "a re-plexi-fied Model T sound, trading low end sludge for a sparkly midrange focus"1. The pedal has parallel Bright and Normal gain controls, a three-band FMV tone stack and a master volume1.
"It can be used either a conventional drive pedal or as the workhorse of an ampless signal chain."
