Old Blood Noise Endeavours - Excess V2 Distorting Modulator
With delay, chorus, and harmonized fifths available along with distortion in series or parallel configurations, Excess V2 unveils more sounds and even more control.
Way back in 2017, Old Blood Noise Endeavors released their first venture into Distortion aligned with Delay-based effects. Aptly named Excess, we all thought it was fantastically excessive enough back then, but along comes 2022 and Old Blood Noise are adding more switches. Despite this, the controls are actually dead simple, but the sonic potential is immense!
Expanding on the original model, Old Blood Noise Endeavors continues their journey to revive and expand sought-out sounds of the 80s. With delay, chorus and harmonized fifths available, along with distortion in series or parallel configurations, Excess V2 unveils more unique tones and even more control, yet all in a smaller more pedalboard friendly package.
Main Features:
Distortion and Modulation pedal
Three modes of modulation (Delay, Chorus and Fifth) each with Time, Depth, and Volume controls
Distortion section with control over Gain, Tone and Volume to access light overdrive through fuzzy distortion
Order switching to run Distortion into Modulation, Modulation into Distortion, or separate parallel paths
Soft touch switching and true relay bypass for each section
Expression jack to externally control Rate and Depth
Internal trimpot to set wet-dry mix of Modulation section
Made in the USA
Powered by 9V DC PSU
(centre -, 2.1mm, ~125 mA current draw)
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. We’re thinking about circuits from the 80s, 90s, today and a little bit earlier, all helping to create tones you’ve never thought of before!
Excess V2 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.
There are three ways of routing the effects in the Excess V2:
Mod 1st runs modulation into distortion, creating harmonically rich and sometimes almost out of control textures. Because the effects are in series, if either volume control is all the way down, you will get no signal.'
Parallel runs modulation and distortion side by side, which allows for clean modulated signal alongside distorted signal. This mode has a natural volume boost due to the signals being added together. Blend to taste with the volume knobs and find some unfamiliar wet-dry textures.
Dist 1st runs distortion into modulation, which is a classic way of routing these two effects, allowing for crisp repeats and modulations of your distorted sound. Because the effects are in series, if either volume control is all the way down, you will get no signal.
