Seller's description

The Electronic Audio Experiments Surveyor is a compact re-interpretation of the Instrument Voicing Preamp (aka IVP), a cult classic and long discontinued rackmount preamplifier. The IVP is best known for its distinctively clangy tone and harsh attack at high treble settings—especially in conjunction with an aluminum neck guitar, single coil pickups, and full range speakers. The Surveyor features a unique, transformer-based “Tube Voice” distortion generator that is highly responsive to the frequency content of the input signal. This is achieved by placing a two-band Baxandall EQ before distortion is applied—the complete opposite of most drive pedals. Using this method, gain may be selectively applied to a specific frequency band: boost the treble for that signature clang, or maximize the bass for fuzz overload. This variety of saturated textures transcends genre labels.  Controls: Level - overall volume, with more than enough range for line level output or to overdrive a tube amplifier Gain - amount of overdrive/saturation equally applied to all frequencies; highly interactive with the Bass and Treble settings Bass - pre-gain low shelf boost/cut, +/-12dB @ 100Hz Treble - pre-gain high shelf boost/cut, +/-12dB @ 3KHz Hi/Lo (switch) - sets the range of the gain control. In the Lo setting the gain range is -15dB to +12dB, in the Hi setting the gain range is +9dB to +36dB.  Bypass: Relay switching with true bypass Input impedance @ 1 Khz: 500kΩ Output impedance @ 1 Khz: 2kΩ Power: 9V DC, 2.1 mm center negative barrel. The current draw is 75 mA.
