Dan Explains It All - Beam Splitter

In today's video, we visit with "Dan" to discover the ins and outs of the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Beam Splitter Triple Tracker Distorter.
Beam Splitter takes one signal and makes three copies of it, each with differing overdrive voices and delay times. It is specifically our way of creating a huge sound out of a regular one. Output can be kept in parallel mono or split individually to three places. While the goal is singular bigness, you can also find strange filters, flangers, lo-fi vibratos, and trailing slap-back echoes using the delay controls and blending everything to taste.
Controls include:
Gain, Volume, and Tone to shape the amount of distortion, overall volume, and brightness of each drive section.
Time to introduce delays up to 125mS on the green and blue sections.
Decay to add intense filtering or trailing delays, depending on Time.
Deviate to randomly vary the delay time, giving a more natural feel and chorus effect.
Top jacks for summed parallel mono output or split output for each drive.
Expression jack to externally control Deviate knob.
Soft-touch bypass footswitch for true bypass and minimal switch noise.
Beam Splitter is available at oldbloodnoise.com and at participating retailers worldwide.

The most Cronenberg of pedal explanations. May the luckiest get their beams split.

[@theinnermostsanctum]

My bioport has no midi.

[@user-cx7kg6ok9b]

Send it to 3 amps? Are you insane!!? Send it out to 3 separate stereo effects loops then into 6 AMPS!!!! Now we're ROCKIN'!

[@andrews6505]

Probably the best demo I’ve ever seen. I’m going to eat mushrooms and watch this on repeat.

[@njsteere]

Just ordered mine. My life for the beam.

[@christopherwray6690]

I recall a wet/dry/wet conversation on the Friday streams a while back. Awesome to see your guys take on that concept. Real big. A bit weird. Totally awesome.

[@aricarends1660]

I feel like i need to buy it just to fund these videos

[@oldbloodnoise]

donations accepted

[@DonHaussettler]

I love this company. Not only do you make amazing stuff, but you market it in such a lovey way 🙏 Keep on rockin’, guys! 🔥

[@estrathmeyer]

We give thanks to Dan for the knowledge he's bestowed upon us.

[@niceheartwhitesuit]

Well this is about the coolest and most innovative pedal I have seen in a dogs age.

[@davebertoletti]

I think especially synth players will be delighted. This is massive!

[@AsTheOceansBurn]

I laughed too hard at the "for those who wait" moment! I'm so stoked for this drop!

[@bw5260]

So many cool things about that, but I especially love the typeface of "beam splitter."

[@EricMerrow]

Thank you Dan ❤❤ all hail Dan

[@PedalPlayhouse]

All Hail the Trereo! That was an amazing explanation video haha!

[@sons7429]

Always love the late night releases! Also , damn.

[@Duskmos]

So good! Congrats!!

[@kevotheclone]

Can't wait to get my "hands" on it! 👐

[@theghosty99]

So the big hands means this is a Flaming Lips Signature Pedal? Nice, finally

[@oldbloodnoise]

nope

[@njsteere]

That would be a violent femmes pedal amirite fellas

[@immersiveworlds]

Amazing!

[@caseyjmoreno8653]

Good cult. Big support. I’m in

[@ediththeband]

big adult swim vibes :)

[@the_washington_monument_am9714]

I would totally drink whatever kool-aid Dan offers me. WE ARE BEAM SPLIT.

[@grillwiffin]

this is it. the peak of OD/dirt pedals. just outstanding, i am immediately saving to get one

[@jeremiahbayani184]

A wise man once said: Skill is being able to hit a target no one can hit, Genius is being able to hit a target no one can see. This pedal is genius.

[@TUNNELOFREVERB]

all hail beam splitter 😵‍💫

[@abominablemusic]

ah, good old OBNE, continuing to make great, if not confusing, pedals.

[@oldbloodnoise]

confuse your senses, join the beam

[@Beefybot64]

I guess Im off to buy two more amps now...

[@veryslyfox9704]

I need to know what happens if you stack beam splitters

[@StephenMcLeod]

The creativity of your videos makes me feel a deep shame for my own output. Awesome as usual.

[@SRKanai1]

So, can i use an external distortion or effect and have the unit to spit said sound into three tightly split sounds in order to create a more massive distortion?

[@ingridsamitier]

This sounds amazing but would have been even better with 3 footswitches controlling each drive

[@tigermosquitorecords]

It doesn' make very much sense only one input where you have 3 outputs and one single footswitch. The hipster looking is great thought. I miss fuzz tones in it. Great video dude.

[@ti5694]

we are in the beam

[@chasecampan-thornburg1721]

Sweet pedal though, thanks for the explanation at any rate.

[@waveforthefrequencies]

J off to the side! 😂

[@happycadaver]

I want to participate and join you in the light!

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

If Hamilton's Pharmacopeia was reviewing pedals.

[@mrhelpnow]

Question - so if you have two amps only does the pedal merge them into those two . or lets say one amp. Does the pedal combines all three in the output amp ?? . Or you need three amps to get the most out of it.

[@oldbloodnoise]

if you have one amp, the three signals sum to the main amp, but still present in parallel. if you have two amps, the signal that does not have an output plugged in defaults to parallel sum in the main output. so you can use one, two or three amps.

[@kevotheclone]

​@@oldbloodnoiseExcellent Smithers!

[@tristangieler]

This advertising is working on me

[@delivrance3961]

homerun as usual!!!

[@KunchangLeeMusic]

👍🏻

[@Kulturmatt]

Is it related to the Screen violence OD/distortion?

[@oldbloodnoise]

nope

[@Kulturmatt]

@@oldbloodnoise thanks! More reason to add it alongside my screen violence!

[@Impractical_Engineer]

This is Dolby Atmos for a non-conforming guitarist

[@samseitz9937]

Does this mean OBNE is closer to releasing stereo versions of Sunlight and Darkstar? 👀

[@oldbloodnoise]

sure

[@TriangleWaveRecords]

Where can I get the giant hands?

[@oldbloodnoise]

from the beam

[@JapanoiseBreakfast]

I stared into the beam and now my eyes are larger than my face. Help.

[@stephenbeyer]

✋✋✋

[@peicemeals]

only one bypass switch!

[@TigerSquidCA]

Are the delays BBD or digital?

[@tylerhuskerson2823]

Digital!

[@oldbloodnoise]

yes digital

[@DanFlashes99]

beam is good. there is only beam. i am beam, help me

[@jimcirello]

How the hell is this only $229???

[@oldbloodnoise]

i do not know

[@Gore171459]

hehe

[@jamiebibo4287]

My honest but harsh feedback is that this guy talks way too slow and annoyingly. KZbin vids for demos should be concise, to the point, snappy.

[@_danvasco]

It’s artistic

[@jamiebibo4287]

​@@_danvascothat's great. I turned it off.

[@_danvasco]

@@jamiebibo4287 regardless, the pedal is still amazing

[@nYdGeo]

Could not make it through the video...listening to this slow...I don't even know what to call this...walk-through is so painful that it made me want to pull my teeth with channel locks. Interesting pedal though. Hopefully, I can find a video on it that I can stand.

[@oldbloodnoise]

i think this is the only video out there so get the channel locks ready.

[@ingridsamitier]

This sounds amazing but would have been even better with 3 footswitches controlling each drive

[@oldbloodnoise]

get a signal blender
