Old Blood Noise Endeavors Beam Splitter V2 - Shadow

Turn One Signal into a Wall of Sound

The Old Blood Noise Endeavors (OBNE) Beam Splitter V2 is an innovative triple overdrive and delay pedal designed to turn a single, standard signal into a massive, three-dimensional wall of sound. By taking one input and splitting it into three distinct overdrive voices—and routing two of those through independent delay lines—the Beam Splitter V2 delivers unmatched sonic depth, width, and complexity.

Unprecedented Routing: Mono, Stereo, and "Trereo"

Whether you want to keep your output in thick parallel mono, spread it wide in stereo using the dedicated Spread control, or route it to three independent amplifiers using OBNE's unique “trereo” output, this pedal is built for singular bigness. Beyond crafting huge, stacking overdrives, the robust control set allows you to easily dial in classic drives, lush flangers, lo-fi vibratos, and trailing slapback echoes.

What's New in Version 2?

The V2 takes the groundbreaking original circuit and elevates it with modern, player-requested utility: full MIDI integration, onboard presets, and global expression control over every single knob.

Key Features & Controls:

• Three Distinct Overdrive Voices: Independent Gain, Volume, and Tone controls for each drive section allow you to precisely sculpt the distortion and brightness of your layers.
• Dual Independent Delays: Time (up to 211ms) and Feedback controls for two of the overdrive voices. Use the Delay Select toggle to choose which drives get the delay treatment.
• Deviate Control: Randomly vary the delay time for organic, chorus-like modulation and unpredictable lo-fi movement.
• Complete Digital Control: Save and recall your favorite sounds with onboard presets, or take full command of your rig with comprehensive MIDI control over every parameter.
• Expression Capabilities: Assign an expression pedal to manipulate any (or every) knob on the fly for dynamic live performances.
• Selectable Bypass: Choose between buffered trails (to let your echoes naturally decay when you turn the pedal off) or true bypass switching.
