About this listing
Experience unparalleled sonic depth with the OBNE Beam Splitter V2, a sophisticated evolution of the original design that delivers richly layered, wide stereo sound from a single mono guitar input. Crafted for musicians seeking dynamic, textured tones, this pedal merges three distinct overdrive circuits with flexible delay capabilities to create expansive, immersive soundscapes.
Main Features
Triple parallel overdrive and distortion circuits with independent gain, tone, and output controls
Three unique drive styles:
Drive 1: Hard clipping distortion – heavy, compressed core gain sound
Drive 2: Soft and hard clipping overdrive – light, bright tone, from clean boost to medium overdrive
Drive 3: Transistor overdrive – highly dynamic with fuzz-like character and extensive gain range
Dual independent delay units, each with time and feedback controls for rich atmospheric effects
Delay select switch to assign delay to either of two drive outputs
‘Trereo’ sound configuration, enabling mono input to transform into three distinct outputs for complex spatial effects
Three footswitches assignable for drive toggling or preset selection
Comprehensive MIDI control over all parameters, with up to 127 presets accessible via MIDI and 3 onboard presets
Expression pedal compatibility for real-time manipulation of volume, tone, gain, and delay parameters
True bypass and trails switching via soft-touch relays to preserve signal integrity
Flexible input/output routing: Mono, Mono to Stereo, or Mono to Trereo setups with TRS or TS connections
Stereo input can be internally collapsed when pedal is engaged
Manufactured in the USA for premium build quality
Powered by 9V DC PSU (centre negative, 2.1 mm jack, 350 mA current draw, not included)
Detailed Sound and Control
The Beam Splitter V2’s three distinct drive circuits can be mixed and balanced precisely using individual volume and tone controls, allowing detailed shaping of your overdrive character. The advanced delay section adds lush depth with Time and Feedback knobs, while the Deviate control introduces subtle, variable timing offset inspired by natural player imperfections to produce flanging, chorusing, or broken vibrato timbres. The Spread control adjusts your stereo image from narrow to wide, providing ultimate flexibility in spatial effects.
