Old Blood Noise Endeavors (OBNE) is a boutique effects pedal company based in Oklahoma City, founded in 2014 by Brady Smith and Seth McCarroll. The pair met at the University of Oklahoma and, drawing on Brady's prior experience at Keeley Electronics and Walrus Audio, launched OBNE with a focus on unconventional sonic territory. Their catalog spans reverb, delay, modulation, fuzz, distortion, and overdrive, with an emphasis on experimental and textural sounds. Notable pedals include the Black Fountain Delay, Procession Sci-Fi Reverb, Dark Star Pad Reverb, Excess Distortion Chorus Delay, Haunt Fuzz, Alpha Haunt Fuzz, Dweller Phase Repeater, Flat Light Textural Flange Shifter, and the Minim Immediate Ambience Machine.

Each OBNE pedal is assembled by hand and features original artwork commissioned from local Oklahoma artists, giving the line a distinctive visual identity to match its sonic personality. The name itself reflects the founders' sensibilities: "old blood" as the inverse of "young blood," "noise" nodding to the disruptive sounds they gravitated toward, and "endeavors" chosen deliberately to leave room for ventures beyond guitar effects.

OBNE runs a YouTube series called Coffee & Riffs that spotlights improvised performances by pedal-minded musicians, from local players to international touring artists. The brand has cultivated a dedicated following among guitarists and electronic musicians who favor ambient, experimental, and post-rock sounds.

Old Blood Noise Endeavors has 63 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Reverb Effects Pedals, Delay Effects Pedals, and Fuzz Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 82 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Electronic. Notable users include Teppei Teranishi, Aziz Ibrahim, and Andy Othling. Old Blood Noise Endeavors's catalog spans the full price spectrum — from entry-level options to high-end flagships.
