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.

Frequently Asked Questions ➤ What are the differences between the three drive circuits?
Drive 1 is a hard clipping distortion offering a heavy, compressed tone; Drive 2 blends soft and hard clipping for a lighter, bright overdrive or clean boost; Drive 3 is a dynamically responsive transistor overdrive with a fuzz-like gain range. ➤ Can I use the pedal in stereo setups?
Yes, the Beam Splitter V2 supports Mono, Mono to Stereo, and Mono to Trereo routing with TRS or TS connections, allowing flexible stereo or multi-output configurations. ➤ How many presets can I save and access with MIDI?
The pedal stores up to 3 presets onboard and supports up to 127 presets accessible through MIDI control. ➤ Does the pedal support expression pedal control?
Yes, you can assign expression pedals to control main parameters such as volume, gain, tone, and delay for real-time performance adjustments. ➤ What power supply does the Beam Splitter V2 require?
It requires a 9V DC power supply with a centre negative 2.1 mm plug and a current draw of 350 mA. The power supply is not included.
