{"product_id":"old-blood-noise-endeavors-beam-splitter-384178","title":"Beam Splitter","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Modern Approach to \"Triple Tracking\": From Drive to Faux Chorus Without Changing Pedals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Beam Splitter does not try to clone a single vintage overdrive; instead, it draws inspiration from a studio concept: layering multiple takes to thicken a guitar. Here, the principle is pushed further with three differently voiced saturations and two built-in micro-delays, capable of delivering both a realistic doubling sensation and an unstable modulation effect. Within the Old Blood Noise Endeavors range, this pedal is designed for guitarists who appreciate expressive drives as well as \"living\" textures and movements in their sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is the Beam Splitter For, and Which Styles Does It Excel In?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Beam Splitter is aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians, as well as pedalboard tinkerers seeking \u003cstrong\u003ea versatile distortion\u003c\/strong\u003e that breaks the mold. In alternative rock, shoegaze, indie, post-rock, noise, stoner, or even modern blues, it thickens rhythm parts, widens leads, or transforms a simple line into a \"multi-guitar\" ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLive, the separate outputs enable impressive setups (two or three amps, or multiple console inputs). In the studio, it becomes a quick tool to add depth without layering takes, or conversely to \u003cstrong\u003eenhance\u003c\/strong\u003e an existing double take with controlled micro-instability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, Sections, and Connectivity: Three Colors, Two Delays, One Goal (Big Sound)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pedal is structured around \u003cstrong\u003ethree sections\u003c\/strong\u003e usable together: the \u003cstrong\u003epurple\u003c\/strong\u003e (hard-clipping) is the densest, most compressed and powerful, ideal as the main base. The \u003cstrong\u003egreen\u003c\/strong\u003e (soft\/hard clipping) is lighter and brighter, with \u003cstrong\u003eTime\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eDecay\u003c\/strong\u003e controls to create temporal offset and a sense of movement. The \u003cstrong\u003eblue\u003c\/strong\u003e (transistor overdrive) emphasizes playing dynamics and natural grain, with \u003cstrong\u003eTime\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eDecay\u003c\/strong\u003e, plus a \u003cstrong\u003egain selector\u003c\/strong\u003e to switch from a more open attack to a more aggressive drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shared \u003cstrong\u003eDeviate\u003c\/strong\u003e control adjusts the amount of random variation applied to the delay times of the blue and green sections: it ranges from a subtle, credible doubling to flanger\/chorus-like textures or even intentionally unstable vibrato. For real-time transitions, the \u003cstrong\u003eExp\u003c\/strong\u003e input allows Deviate to be controlled via an expression pedal. On the switching side, the relay bypass offers reliable and silent operation, suitable for stage use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Beam Splitter stands out with a sense of \u003cstrong\u003ewidth\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edepth\u003c\/strong\u003e rarely associated with a distortion pedal: by stacking the three voices, you get a thick, three-dimensional drive that retains detail in the attack. The purple section provides the \"center of gravity\" (compression, sustain, authority), the green adds air and brightness that helps it cut through the mix, while the blue enhances dynamics and the organic feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the Time\/Decay and Deviate settings, the character can shift from massive saturation to \u003cstrong\u003eghostly modulations\u003c\/strong\u003e: a subtle double-tracking style chorus, a grainy flanger, or a lo-fi vibrato that makes the amp seem to \"breathe.\" The pedal responds particularly well to playing nuances and guitar volume when favoring the more open sections, while still capable of a more compressed and dense drive when relying on the purple section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
