EAE discontinues the 0xEAE Boost pedal
March 1, 2025 · 1 sources
Electronic Audio Experiments has discontinued the 0xEAE Boost as of Spring 2025, according to the pedal's archive page. The maker says the iteration was produced in a finite quantity and that it intends to manufacture the circuit in a new form in the future1.
The 0xEAE Boost was the first entry in a pedal series developed with the design collective Obstructures, built around an enclosure the maker describes as an indestructible design in Obstructures' visual language. The circuit is a discrete op amp gain stage with a treble boost in front, which the maker says forms a densely textured upper midrange character. It has four sliders: Master for output volume, Filter as a passive variable-frequency low pass filter, Gain for the primary gain stage, and Focus for an input treble boost1.
| Control | Function (maker's figures) |
|---|---|
| Master | Output volume, from -∞ dBu to more than +20 dBu |
| Filter | Low pass, cutoff from outside the audio range to 480Hz |
| Gain | Approximately +26 dB to +46 dB |
| Focus | +0 dB to +26 dB treble boost for high mid frequencies |
The maker lists relay switching with op amp buffered bypass, 2.2MΩ input impedance at 1 kHz and under 1kΩ output impedance at 1 kHz. It runs on 9V DC with a 2.1 mm center negative barrel, draws 120 mA when active, and the maker recommends a regulated, isolated supply rated for 200 mA minimum. The pedal does not accept batteries. Dimensions are 6.75” x 3.5” x 2” and weight is 1.5 lbs1.
"While this iteration has been produced in a finite quantity, we intend to manufacture this circuit in a new form in the future."
The archive page does not give a price. The 0xEAE Boost sits in the maker's boost pedals category.
