OBNE Beam Splitter Review

The OBNE Beam Splitter isn't your typical drive pedal. It gives you three different types of distortion working together, each with its gain, volume, and tone controls. This means you can mix and match textures to get anything from a warm, smooth drive to a cutting, aggressive tone.

But what really makes the Beam Splitter guitar pedal special is its built-in delay. Two of the three circuits have adjustable delay times, allowing you to create a natural double-tracked effect or dive into experimental territory. Add in the Deviate control for random delay variations, and you get a dynamic, constantly shifting sound. Whether you're looking for classic grit or something more adventurous, the OBNE Beam Splitter delivers.

OBNE Beam Splitter Pedal FAQs

What Kind of Distortion Does the Beam Splitter Have?

The OBNE Beam Splitter features three different types of drive circuits running in parallel. One section uses a transistor overdrive for a warm, dynamic feel. The second uses soft-clipping distortion for a smooth, classic drive. The third section is a hard-clipping distortion that delivers a more aggressive, cutting tone. You can blend all three to craft your ideal sound.

How Does the Built-in Delay Work on the OBNE Beam Splitter?

The OBNE Beam Splitter includes delay circuits on two of its three drive sections. You can add up to 125ms of delay to each, creating a natural double-tracking effect or a slap-back echo. The Decay control allows you to extend the repeats or apply filtering for more unique textures. This lets you move beyond standard distortion into layered, evolving sounds.

Can I Use the Old Blood Noise Beam Splitter in a Stereo or Wet-Dry-Wet Setup?

Yes! Beam Splitter offers multiple output options. You can sum all three drive sections into a single mono output or split them into separate outputs for a stereo or wet-dry-wet rig. This flexibility makes it great for both simple and advanced setups, whether running two amps or processing each drive section separately.

Does the Beamsplitter Pedal Work With an Expression Pedal?

Yes! The expression input on the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Beam Splitter pedal allows you to control the Deviate knob, which adjusts random delay variations in real-time.

Is the Beam Splitter True Bypass?

Yes! The OBNE Beam Splitter features a soft-touch true bypass switch, meaning it won't interfere with your signal when turned off. This ensures a clean, unaffected tone when the pedal is bypassed.

What Kind of Power Supply Do I Need for the Beam Splitter Pedal?

The Beam Splitter Old Blood Noise pedal requires a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply capable of delivering at least 150mA. It does not include a power supply, so make sure you have one that meets these requirements.

Can the Beam Splitter Pedal Be Used for Bass?

Yes! While designed with guitar in mind, the Beam Splitter bass tone sounds amazing. The multiple drive sections can add depth and grit to a bass signal, and the delay elements can help create unique textures. Experimenting with different settings will help you find the best balance for your bass tone.

Will the Beam Splitter Guitar Pedal Work in a Live Setup?

Absolutely! The Beam Splitter OBNE pedal is designed for both live and studio use. The multiple drive circuits help your sound cut through a mix, while the delay options create a bigger, fuller presence. The soft-touch bypass switch also ensures silent switching, making it great for live performances where you need to engage effects smoothly.
