Description
The Old Blood Noise Endeavors EXCESS V2 DISTORTING MODULATOR is a sonic powerhouse, perfect for guitarists seeking to explore the boundaries of sound. This pedal combines distortion and modulation in a singular unit, offering a dynamic range of tonal possibilities inspired by the iconic sounds of the '80s. With three distinct modulation modes—Delay, Chorus, and Fifth—each featuring adjustable Time, Depth, and Volume controls, you'll have the versatility to craft anything from subtle ambience to full-on sonic chaos.
The distortion section is equally flexible, allowing you to dial in anything from a subtle overdrive to a rich, fuzzy distortion. The EXCESS V2 provides the unique ability to modify the signal path, letting you switch between running distortion into modulation, modulation into distortion, or even operating them in separate parallel paths. This feature, along with an internal trimpot for a wet-dry mix, gives musicians the freedom to create and innovate their sound.
With true relay bypass, soft-touch switching, and an expression jack for external control over Rate and Depth, this pedal is designed for seamless integration into any rig. Whether you're looking to recreate classic tones or forge new auditory landscapes, the EXCESS V2 is your ticket to a world of endless musical exploration.
