Sharpened for effective evisceration, the Electronic Audio Experiments Glaive is the most dastardly and formidable drive in the EAE catalog. The Glaive plays with a devilishly dirty profile propelled by a massive op amp fuzz design and bolstered by a robust setup of hi-fi settings and controls. Cutting through the noise with, well, a lot of noise, the Glaive is a masterfully done piece for EAE's lineup of dirt devices.

When it comes to monstrous drive pedals, EAE has more than a few to their name. The Glaive follows in this tradition but pushes the envelope. At the center of the Glaive is an op-amp fuzz capable of dishing out over 80dB of gain – in essence, mountains of gain, so play responsibly. The op-amp fuzz at hand is then shaped through a number of settings to create a compelling, inspiring effect. First, the Glaive's "Weight" control harnesses the power of an onboard high pass filter as it alters the thickness and attack of the fuzz. Next, "Texture" introduces an analog octave-up at the input of the fuzz circuit with a strong harmonic second manifesting on higher settings.

Two three-way switches compound on the control of this titanic op-amp fuzz. The leftmost toggle controls a tone switch that shapes the high-end signal as it cuts high-end frequencies. On the other toggle, "Squelch," bias and gate behavior are changed as the pedal's gate can be zeroed out, maximized, or placed somewhere in between for different playability for the effect. The Glaive works with a quiet, buffered bypass switch with intelligent momentary/latching footswitching.

As EAE's most disastrous drive effect, the Glaive slices through the noise and gets right to business for players bold enough to take it up.
