Old Blood Noise Endeavors launches Expression Ramper X3 and SCOOCH Tap Tempo

Audio Distribution Group are pleased to announce that Old Blood Noise Endeavors is launching two new devices today, complementing their range of affordable and high-quality utility pedals.

Based on their Triple Expression Ramper (a limited-edition run of three regular Expression Rampers in a large enclosure), OBNE has revisited the concept as a full-time product, while enhancing it with new and creative features. The Expression Ramper X3 introduces controls for tempo syncing multiple Rampers, new additional wave forms, as well as options for synchronisation of the different Ramper settings in the pedal.

In addition, the brand is introducing the SCOOCH Tap Tempo. This deceptively simple, yet incredible useful external switch is not only a companion to the Expression Ramper X3, it is compatible with other OBNE pedals and also works with a wide variety of other devices for Tap Tempo, Remote Switching or many other purposes.

Both devices are available and shipping from Audio Distribution Group now!

Expanding on the concept of our Expression Ramper, we present the Expression Ramper X3, an expression movement shaper capable of manipulating three expression jacks simultaneously with copious control.

This utility device brings new sounds out of your old favourites, reinvigorating the sonic possibilities of your collection.

The Expression Ramper X3’s allows you to set the shape of the LFO (the thing that determines the expression motion). There are three standard shapes (Triangle, Square and One Shot), and three random variations of those shapes.

Main Features:

  • Expression Control Pedal, with storable expression preset settings.
  • 3 expression separately adjustable and syncable outputs to create footswitch activated motion on up to three external devices.
  • Ramp between the two presets (A and B).
  • 3 new random shapes (Smooth, Sharp and 1 Shot) in addition to the classic shapes (Triangle, Square, and 1 Shot) for movement between settings.
  • Ability to sync across all three Rampers, with subdivided rate or direct output matching
  • Tempo syncing via tap switch on the device, external tap switch, and tap out in order to sync multiple
  • Expression Ramper X3s
  • Expression input for Ramper 1, allowing X3 to become a 1-in-3-out Expression splitter
  • Rate control, sets the speed of movement
  • Configurable EXP output (TRS, TRS reverse polarity or TS)
  • LED indicates which setting is currently active
  • Smart footswitching for momentary or latching operation

Powered by regular 9 V DC PSU
        (centre -, 2.1 mm, ~50 mA current draw)
