{"product_id":"old-blood-noise-endeavors-fault-v2-366817","title":"Fault V2","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA V2 Designed to Expand the Fault's Palette\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy evolving the Fault platform, Old Blood Noise Endeavors aimed for one thing: \u003cstrong\u003eto broaden the playing field\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Fault V2 retains the DNA that made the model famous (dual footswitch gain and 3-band EQ), while adding more \"sculpting\" tools to cover more situations: \u003cstrong\u003egreater gain range\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003eVoice\u003c\/strong\u003e control to adjust the harmonic signature, and additional \u003cstrong\u003eclipping\u003c\/strong\u003e options to go from a snappy overdrive to a denser distortion. The result: a pedal that can remain subtle and dynamic... or become a true riff machine, depending on your settings and attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is the Fault V2 For, and In Which Styles Does It Make a Difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fault V2 is aimed at guitarists who want a \u003cstrong\u003ecentral drive pedal\u003c\/strong\u003e on their pedalboard, capable of replacing (or complementing) several overdrives\/distortions. It suits both intermediate players and demanding musicians: the slider EQ and gain stages require some curiosity but immediately reward with a sound more \"tailored\" to your rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, it excels at delivering an articulate crunch that responds to guitar volume, then a second gain level for solos. In \u003cstrong\u003eindie\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003egarage\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003ealternative\u003c\/strong\u003e styles, the perfect tool is often a drive that remains clear in the mix: the Fault V2 allows you to shape the mids and avoid the \"amp masking\" effect. In \u003cstrong\u003ehard rock\u003c\/strong\u003e and heavier genres, the gain reserve and \u003cstrong\u003eCrush\u003c\/strong\u003e option help thicken the tone while keeping frequency control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a \u003cstrong\u003estudio\u003c\/strong\u003e context, the 3-band EQ facilitates fitting with a drum or bass track already rich in mids. In \u003cstrong\u003elive\u003c\/strong\u003e settings, the second footswitch gain stage is a real convenience: one basic setting, then an immediate saturation boost without changing pedals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, Modes, and Adjustment Logic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fault V2 revolves around controls that are simple to understand but refined enough to cover many approaches. You have a \u003cstrong\u003emain volume\u003c\/strong\u003e control to balance output level, a \u003cstrong\u003eGain 1\u003c\/strong\u003e for base saturation, and a \u003cstrong\u003eGain 2\u003c\/strong\u003e that adds a \u003cstrong\u003esecond gain stage\u003c\/strong\u003e footswitch-activatable to switch from a \"rhythm\" drive to a \"lead\" drive without touching the knobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eVoice\u003c\/strong\u003e control acts as a character tool: it adjusts how the drive expresses itself, influencing the sense of presence and grain structure. Additionally, there is a very effective equalization via \u003cstrong\u003ethree sliders\u003c\/strong\u003e dedicated to \u003cstrong\u003ebass\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emid\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003etreble\u003c\/strong\u003e : handy for brightening a dark guitar, taming an overly bright amp, or boosting mids to better cut through the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo switches further expand the palette. The \u003cstrong\u003eBoost\u003c\/strong\u003e switch adjusts the \u003cstrong\u003eGain 1\u003c\/strong\u003e knob range, allowing you to navigate from a \u003cstrong\u003eclean\u003c\/strong\u003e to a \u003cstrong\u003emedium gain\u003c\/strong\u003e behavior more easily. Meanwhile, the \u003cstrong\u003eCrush\u003c\/strong\u003e switch adds a \u003cstrong\u003epost-EQ clipping stage\u003c\/strong\u003e : useful for achieving a tighter, more compressed, and more \"finished\" saturation when you want a more pronounced distortion while keeping the EQ as a sculpting tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding reliability and ergonomics, the pedal uses \u003cstrong\u003erelay bypass switching\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed for a clean and consistent activation on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fault V2 stands out with a character that is both modern and musical: it can remain \u003cstrong\u003eopen\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edynamic\u003c\/strong\u003e when aiming for a clean boost or light overdrive, while offering a denser saturation buildup when pushing gain and activating the second stage. The response is generally very pleasant under the fingers: playing softer, the pedal can sound cleaner and more \"fine-grained\"\u0026#59; playing harder, it responds with more harmonics and a biting sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e3-band EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e is a real asset for shaping tone: you can thicken lows without muddiness, scoop or boost mids depending on the role (rhythm vs. lead), and adjust highs to control the brightness of single-coils or the presence of humbuckers. The \u003cstrong\u003eCrush\u003c\/strong\u003e switch, placed after the EQ, is particularly useful if you like more \"sculpted\" drives: you first shape your spectrum, then densify the saturation, resulting in a coherent and controlled outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn short, if you're looking for a pedal capable of covering \u003cstrong\u003eboost\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eoverdrive\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003edistortion\u003c\/strong\u003e with real adjustment range, the Fault V2 is a relevant choice: it can be subtle but doesn't lack authority when asked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
