Citadel

Electronic Audio Experiments launched in 2014 from a Philadelphia basement, quickly earning a reputation for meticulously designed circuits with real personality. EAE pedals tend toward high-gain amp emulation rather than subtle boost territory. The Citadel captures the aggressive midrange bark and glassy highs of a cranked British Plexi. It shares DNA with the Model feT but voices the EQ toward brighter, more cutting tones. Three-band EQ lets you sculpt everything from chimey cleans to saturated roar. The Volume and Gain controls interact like a real amp. Back off Gain for edge-of-breakup sparkle, push it for singing sustain. The EQ is powerful enough to completely reshape your sound or dial in subtle adjustments. Built
