Eldritch Blast is a fuzz built around a high-gain octave/intermodulation generator. This unusual transistor circuit is capable of heavy, complex riffs or touch-sensitive textures with a ripping, splatty octave up. And its switchable active EQ invokes sinister high-gain tones worthy of the outer gods.
The development of the Eldritch Blast has origins in the early days of EAE. It is a greatly expanded take on the Magic Missile Fuzz, an old design of ours which is an homage to the modern classic fuzzes of Devi Ever, Tim Escobedo, and all of the circuit-bending weirdos on ilovefuzz.com. We teamed up with Alec from Mask Audio Electronics (MAE) to flesh out and fine-tune the design, and together came up with a result which significantly diverged from the original Magic Missile circuit.
Electrical Specifications
Bypass: Relay switching with true bypass
Input impedance @ 1 Khz: 220kΩ
Output impedance @ 1 Khz: 1kΩ
Power: 9V DC, 2.1 mm center negative barrel. The current draw is 80mA with both channels engaged.
We recommend a regulated, isolated power supply rated for 100 mA minimum. The PSU input is protected against reverse polarity. Our pedals do not accept batteries.
Controls
-
Gain: Controls amount of gain and low frequencies at input. Turn clockwise to add gain and thickness.
-
More: Controls amount of signal feeding octave circuit. Use to adjust the sensitivity of intermodulation textures.
-
Tone: Active peaking filters working on the highs and midrange simultaneously. Only in use when star footswitch is on.
-
Bass: Active peaking filter centered around 100 Hz. Only in use when star footswitch is on.
-
Volume: Loudness amount.
-
Splat: Shifts the dynamics and gating of the transistor stages, switching between a smoother character or a harsh note decay with splatty artifacts.
-
Mode: Changes transistors in the octave generator to change the texture and amount of saturation.
-
Chaos: Engages a self-oscillating mode with highly interactive squeals, squealches, and sub-bass drones.
-
Engage Footswitch: Master bypass.
-
Star Footswitch: EQ on/off.
Warranty & Returns
All New products are covered by the manufacturers new warranty. Please check their website for the length of warranty and warranty conditions. If an item you receive is faulty get in touch with us ASAP. Second Hand products come with a 4 week warranty from us. If there is an issue let us know ASAP! This covers normal use and does not cover accidental damage, misuse, wrong power plugged into it, modding, water damage or any other damage caused by mistreatment. Just treat it nice and all will be good!
Shipping
We send A LOT of packages every week so don't worry about the shipping side of things!
We've never lost a thing and your awesome new gear will be packed up really well to avoid any damage in transit.
If your order comes in before 2pm we will ship it same day. Most of the time we pack things up all the way to 4pm so just call if you need it to leave same day after 2pm.
We ship mainly with Australia Post but may use a courier depending on location and size of the package.
Free Post ships with Australia Post standard and expected shipping times are between 4-6 business days depending on location. It will be longer to outside of metro and rural areas.
Express Post will usually be with you next business day in metro areas of QLD, NSW, SA, VIC and TAS. WA will take 2 days to metro and extra days after that to out side metro and rural areas.
Everything we ship has a tracking number with the exception of some power cables and smaller envelope packages. You will be emailed tracking once your order has been shipped!
