Old Blood Noise Endeavors Presents Excess V2 Distorting Modulator
A Marriage of Distortion and Delay-Based Effects
Expanding on the Excess, Old Blood Noise continues their journey to revive and expand sought-out pedal sounds of the 80s.
With delay, chorus, and harmonised fifths available along with distortion in series or parallel configurations, Excess V2 unveils more sounds and even more control in a smaller package.
Excess V2 features:
- Three modes of modulation (Delay, Chorus, and Fifth) each with Time, Depth,
and Volume controls - Distortion section with control over Gain, Tone, and Volume to access light
overdrive through fuzzy distortion - Order switching to run Distortion into Modulation, Modulation into Distortion,
or separate parallel paths - Soft touch switching and true relay bypass for each section
- Expression jack to externally control Rate and Depth
- Internal trimpot to set wet-dry mix of Modulation section
- Requires at least 125mA 9VDC centre negative power

The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Excess V2 is everything you need for your next ripping session in 1985 and beyond. The goods : high gain distortion, lush chorus and slapback delay in a selectable series or parallel signal path. The Excess V2 has separate volume controls for both the Distortion and the Modulation effects. The modulation mode is changed via the secondary stompswitch which changes between chorus and delay.
The signal path can be changed by the SERIES / PARALLEL toggle switch. In Series mode, the Distortion effect flows into the Modulation effect, stacking their sound and volumes. In Parallel mode, the two effects are summed to a single output, resulting in a clear modulation with a distorted layer underneath, cleanly separated.
You can’t get enough. I can see it in your eyes. You need more. Maybe the Excess will do you just fine. Mayhaps.
Old Blood Noise Endeavors began in 2014 in a backyard shed in Norman, Oklahoma. Starting with the Black Fountain Oil Can Delay, their lineup now includes 24 devices, not only to help musicians explore previously unheard sounds but to tackle utilitarian tasks like cable routing. Their goal is to create innovative designs to inspire all creatives to find and use their own unique voice.
