Old Blood Noise Endeavors Excess V2

Old Blood Noise Endeavors Excess V2 is the second version and combines distortion and modulation in one pedal with delay, chorus and a pitch shifter. Expanding on the original model, Old Blood Noise Endeavors continues their journey to revive and expand sought-out sounds of the 80s.

Simply 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.

It 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 and Depth adjusts the depth or feedback of modulation.
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.
