Electronic Audio Experiments released the Glaive Octave Fuzz in fall 2025, the maker's changelog lists it as the original release¹. Guitar Pedal X reported the pedal available from the Electronic Audio Experiments webstore for $249 on October 17, 2025². The maker's product page carried the same $249.00 price and a "Temporarily Unavailable" notice¹.

The Glaive is an opamp fuzz that the maker describes as capable of over +80dB of gain¹. The Fuzz control sets the signal flow into the primary gain stage, and the maker's control list puts its maximum at "an irresponsible +80dB"¹. Weight changes the cutoff of a high pass filter at the input, which the maker says alters attack and thickness, from a tight attack to crushing bass frequencies¹. Texture blends in a full-wave rectified analog signal that produces an octave up fed into the fuzz input¹. Two three-position toggles handle tone and gating: LPF sets no high cut in the center, moderate high cut down and strong high cut up, while Squelch sets gating off in the center, mild down and strong up¹. Level sets output volume¹.

Guitar Pedal X described the Glaive as a distinct take on Octavia, Foxx Tone Machine, Super-Fuzz and Life Pedal circuits, with expanded shaping over many octave fuzz pedals².

The maker lists a 24V internal power supply and silent electronic switching with a high-headroom op amp buffer, with momentary or latching footswitch behavior¹. Published specifications:

The maker recommends a regulated, isolated power supply rated for 100mA minimum, states the DC input is protected against reverse polarity and over-voltage up to 20V, and notes that its pedals do not accept batteries¹. The Glaive is offered in Charcoal and Acid Etch finishes¹.
