Product Information

Full details

The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Beam Splitter is designed for guitarists and sound designers looking to create expansive, layered textures with their instrument. Its key benefit is the ability to generate a massive, three-dimensional soundscape from a mono input. A potential caveat is the need for careful adjustment to prevent the sound from becoming muddy, as it significantly expands the signal. This guide will help you understand the Beam Splitter's features and how to best utilize them.

FAQs

What type of power supply does the Beam Splitter require?

It requires a 9V DC center-negative power supply.

Can I use the Beam Splitter with other effects pedals?

Yes, it is designed to be used with other effects pedals. Place it in the signal chain as needed.

How do I create a stereo effect?

Use the split outputs to connect to two separate amplifiers or to the stereo inputs on your mixer or recording interface.

What is the purpose of the time delay?

The time delay creates a spatial effect, adding width and depth to the sound. It can be used to create lush, atmospheric textures.

How do I maintain the pedal?

Keep the pedal clean and dry. Use a dry cloth to wipe it down. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity.

What if my sound is too distorted?

Adjust the overdrive settings on the pedal. Lowering the gain on each of the three voicings can help achieve a cleaner sound.

Troubleshooting

No sound or weak signal.

Check all cable connections, power supply, and ensure the pedal is engaged. Verify the input signal is strong enough.

Sound is muddy or unclear.

Reduce the gain on the overdrive settings. Experiment with the time delay controls to find the right balance.

The pedal is not turning on.

Check the power supply and ensure it is functioning correctly. Try a different power supply to rule out any issues with the original one.
