OBNE Signal Blender Stereo: Parallel Stompbox Fun!
The new OBNE Signal Blender Stereo could be perfect for stompbox addicts
4,3 / 5,0 | 
The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Signal Blender Stereo gives guitarists multiple ways to blend effect pedals and offers way more scope than just plugging stompboxes in series.
OBNE Signal Blender Stereo
The new OBNE Signal Blender Stereo is a compact box of tricks and offers users stereo input and output, plus two stereo effects loops. If you just need mono, then use TS cables instead of TRS cables.
You can also split the main input from mono to stereo.
Designed for parallel effects routing, the Signal Blender Stereo unlocks creative sounds impossible with pedals chained in series.
Born from a partnership with 29 Pedals, this unit delivers immense headroom (operating at +/-15V internally) and pristine phase accuracy throughout its signal path.
Beyond blending, it’s a highly adaptable tool, capable of acting as a one-to-three signal splitter or a three-to-one signal combiner.
Loops & Blends
Each of Loop A, Loop B, and your clean signal has its dedicated volume knob and footswitch, letting you precisely blend them at the output. A handy, simple setup and one that could be perfect for getting creative with your pedalboard setup, both live and in the studio.
Loop A and Loop B also have trails switching available, and there is a phase inversion switch for the return of both loops. MIDI control is also available for the on/off and trails switches.
Versatile Blending
The unit has soft-touch switching and the option of true bypass from input to output when all switches are off. It runs on a 9V center-negative DC power input, which is then internally scaled up to ±15V.
Verdict
All these features combined make for a versatile and potentially very useful box of tools for blending multiple effects to create new sounds. If you already own a lot of pedals, then this little box of tricks could open up what you can achieve with them.
