Old Blood Noise Endeavors Expression Slider Basic

Hands-on Expression Control, Wherever You Need It.

Ditch the traditional foot treadle and gain precise, tactile control over your favorite effects with the Old Blood Noise Endeavors (OBNE) Expression Slider. Designed for the modern musician and producer, this passive fader allows you to adjust expression parameters by hand. Whether you place it on your studio desk, mount it to your synth station, or velcro it directly to your guitar strap, the Expression Slider delivers smooth, immediate parameter control wherever a TRS cable can reach.

Simple, Passive, and Pedalboard Friendly

The Expression Slider requires absolutely no power supply—just plug it in and slide. Utilizing a standard TRS jack connected to a 50K linear slider, it provides a seamless sweep for your effect parameters without taking up valuable, bulky space on your pedalboard.
