Electronic Audio Experiments ends Eldritch Blast production

August 1, 2025 · 1 sources

Electronic Audio Experiments has ended production of the Eldritch Blast, the company's fuzz pedal made with Mask Audio Electronics. The maker lists the final version, V3, as running from April 2023 to August 2025, and describes the pedal as "produced in small batches approximately once per year from 2018 to 2025"¹.

The Eldritch Blast is a fuzz built around a high-gain octave/intermodulation generator, which the maker says is capable of "heavy, complex riffs or touch-sensitive textures with a ripping, splatty octave up"¹. It is an expanded take on the company's older Magic Missile Fuzz, developed with Alec of Mask Audio Electronics¹. The V3 revision redesigned the Chaos toggle: instead of the gated mode of earlier versions, it engages a dynamic oscillation mode that the maker says creates sub octave glitches, atonal arpeggios and other strange sounds¹.

Controls are Gain, More, Tone, Bass, Volume, Splat, Mode and Chaos, plus a master bypass footswitch and a star footswitch that turns the active EQ on and off¹. The Tone control runs active peaking filters on highs and midrange, and Bass is an active peaking filter centered around 100 Hz¹.

The maker recommends a regulated, isolated power supply rated for 100 mA minimum, states that the power input is protected against reverse polarity, and notes that its pedals do not accept batteries¹. The changelog lists V1 in 2018 with a thru-hole PCB, mechanical bypass switching and no Chaos toggle; V2 in 2021 moved to an SMT PCB layout, added soft touch bypass and the gated Chaos toggle, and slightly reduced gain and output volume relative to V1¹. No price or remaining stock is given on the legacy page¹.
