utility devices
Expression Ramper allows you to pick two expression settings (A and B) and move between them, either in one motion or as a continuous LFO activated by a footswitch. The mini enclosure size takes up minimal space while creating new sounds out of any pedal with an expression input.
Controls include:
Shape toggle to determine LFO motion (triangle, square, or one-shot)
Alternate wave shapes accessible via Tap switch (smooth random, sharp random, or one-shot random)
Assignable knob to set A position, B position, and LFO Rate
Tap switch to set rate via tap tempo
Footswitch to set expression output in motion, with momentary or latching operation
Internal configuration for TRS, TRS reverse polarity, and TS configurations, as well as ability to replace built-in 50K digipot with 10K or 100K versions
For more information, see the Expression Ramper manual available here.
Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 50mA (not included).
Dimensions: 2” (width) x 3.75” (height) x 2” (depth).

The Old Blood Noise Endeavors AB/Y Switcher is a classic passive AB/Y switcher, giving you three mono jacks (A, B, and Y), and the choice of whether Y is connected to A, B, or both. Turn one input into two outputs, or vice versa. No impedance matching, phase correction, etc., just a simple tool for simple applications.
Two footswitches make it easy - on the right, the A&B footswitch sets whether Y is connected to both A and B or only one of them; on the left, the A or B footswitch sets whether A or B is connected to Y when A&B is off. LEDs show you how everything is set.
AB/Y can pass signal without power, but the LED indication requires a 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 10mA (not included).

Expression Slider is a fader for use with any pedal that has an Old Blood style expression input*. It is built for convenience and tactile experience, allowing external control where you need it - on the desk of your studio, velcroed to a guitar strap, or wherever else a TRS cable allows.
For more information, see the Expression Slider manual available here.
Expression Slider is entirely passive and requires no power supply.

*Expression Slider uses a TRS jack with tip connected to the wiper of a 50K slider, and ring and sleeve connected to the other terminals. We’ve confirmed that it works with all Old Blood pedals as well as pedals from Chase Bliss, Meris, Earthquaker Devices, Empress, Montreal Assembly, Red Panda, Strymon, EHX, and more.
Dimensions: 2” (width) x 3.75” (height) x 2” (depth).
Split Meld is a box that connects two TS (mono) connections to one TRS (stereo) connection. It is helpful in stereo setups when one stereo element uses a TRS connection and another stereo element uses two TS connections. Signals remain separate and unaffected by each other, only the connection type is changed.
For more information, see the Split Meld manual available here.
Split Meld is entirely passive and requires no power supply.

Signal Blender Stereo is designed for making parallel effects loops, giving new creative options beyond the sounds of pedals in series. Collaboration with 29 Pedals means this pedal has massive headroom (+-15V) and clean phase response throughout the signal path. It can also be a one-to-three splitter or three-to-one combiner, making it a versatile tool for your setup. Features include:
Stereo input and output, and two stereo effects loops, with the option for mono-to-stereo splitting at the main input
Can be used in mono with TS cables instead of TRS cables
Individual volume knobs and footswitches to set the amount of Loop A, Loop B, or Clean signal at the Output
Trails switching for Loop A and Loop B
Phase inversion switch for the return of Loop A and Loop B
MIDI control of on/off and trails switches
Option for true bypass from input to output when all switches are off
Soft touch switching
9V center negative DC power input, scaled up to +-15V internally
For more information, see the Signal Blender Stereo manual available here.
Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 500mA (not included).

Dimensions: 5.4” x 5” x 2”
Expression Ramper X3 is more than the sum of its parts. It starts with three individual Expression Rampers, which are devices allowing you to pick two expression settings and move between them, either in one motion or as a continuous LFO activated by a footswitch. It then adds tempo syncing, new LFO shapes, and other external controls, all in one tidy box. It is the ultimate device for getting new sounds out of your existing expression-enabled pedals.
Controls per Ramper include:
Set toggle and knob to set A position, B position, and LFO Rate
Shape toggle to determine LFO motion (triangle, square, one-shot, smooth random, sharp random, or one-shot random)
Footswitch to set expression output in motion
Internal configuration for TRS, TRS reverse polarity, and TS expression compatibility, as well as ability to replace built-in 50K digipot with 10K or 100K versions
In addition, Rampers II and III include:
Sync toggle to match Ramper I’s speed or entire output
Subdivisions when synced, via the Rate setting
Ramper I includes:
Tap Tempo switch
Tap/Exp input jack
Tap Out jack

Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 50mA (not included).
