Old Blood Noise Endeavors - Excess V2

A Marriage of Distortion and Delay-Based EffectsAll the way back in 2017, the guys over at Old Blood Noise Endeavors released their first venture into Distortion aligned
with Delay-based effects. Aptly named 'Excess', the guys all thought it was fantastically excessive enough
back then, but along comes 2022 and Old Blood Noise are adding more switches. Despite this, the
controls are actually really simple, but the sonic potential is immense!
Expanding on the original model, Old Blood Noise Endeavors continues their journey to revive and
expand sought-out sounds of the 80s. With delay, chorus and harmonized fifths available, along with
distortion in series or parallel configurations, Excess V2 unveils more unique tones and even more
control, yet all in a smaller more pedalboard friendly package.
at a glance
• Distortion and Modulation pedal
• Three modes of modulation (Delay, Chorus and Fifth)
• Distortion section with control over Gain, Tone and Volume to access light overdrive through fuzzy distortion
• Order switching to run Distortion into Modulation, Modulation into Distortion, or separate parallel paths
• Soft touch switching and true relay bypass for each section
• Internal trimpot to set wet-dry mix of Modulation section
• Expression jack to externally control Rate and Depth
• Powered by 9V DC PSU
• Made in the USA
Create Tones You Never Thought Possible!

two modes - two independent switchesSimply put, Excess V2 is two effects in one: a distortion and a modulation. The modulation takes the form of chorus, delay or pitch shifted
delay and the way you route and engage them makes all the difference.
Each mode has its own footswitch to engage or disengage the
sound. OBNE were inspired by circuits from the 80s, 90s, today and a little bit earlier, all helping to create tones you’ve never thought of
before!
3 Modes of Modulation
Excess V2 features three modes of modulation. Fifth is a harmonized delay and harmonizes the delay repeat up to a perfect fifth. When
depth is turned up (adding delay repeats), those repeats continue to harmonize upward, creating rising fifths and octaves from your
original note. Chorus offers a classic chorus, modulating the delay line to create swirling sounds. Delay is a short delay (up to 125ms)
focused on comb filter, doubling, and slapback sounds.
This section features three knobs, Mod Vol which controls the volume of the
modulation, from zero to loud, Rate controls the rate or time of modulation (either the speed of the chorus LFO or the delay time of the
delay) and Depth adjusts the depth or feedback of modulation (either the width of the chorus LFO or the number of repeats of the delay).
The Distortion section also has three knobs. While Dist Vol controls the volume of the distortion, from zero to loud, Tone controls the high
end of the distortion, from dark to bright. Gain adjusts the gain of the distortion, from bright and almost clean to heavily distorted.
