THE MIDIUM® CURATOR'S NOTE: Signature Edition

CAM: Recognizing the people behind a musical instrument's creation is as vital as recognizing the artist who plays it and the audience who appreciates it. In that spirit, The Midium® asked Brady Smith, founder of Old BLood Noise Endeavors, to please sign a run of their FLOAT V2 pedals in our collection. It is The Midium®'s hope that you feel a deeper connection with your Old Blood Noise Endeavors FLOAT V2 Signature Edition, with the knowledge that Brady himself added a personal touch to the units in our collection. All of our Signature Edition pedals and instruments are priced the same as unsigned versions because we simply wanted to take an extra step for the Artists who count on The Midium® and offer a more unique and special experience every time a Signature Edition pedal or instrument is played, knowing that its creator signed it.  We hope you enjoy this special pedal, as it embodies Old Blood Noise Endeavors' latest and greatest work. 

 

FLOAT BETWEEN TWO ANALOG FILTERS IN PARALLEL OR IN SERIES.

Float is a pair of state variable analog filters. Each filter has a full control set, allowing things like filter type, envelope sensitivity, and LFO rate, depth, and shape to be set by the player to craft their ideal filter, whether static or in motion. Where Float really comes alive is with both filters engaged: parallel strangeness, series intensity, synced stereo modulations, or even a simple fully stereo analog filter where you set the cutoff with an expression pedal. Use it with guitars, synths, basses: whatever you want to filter!

Float V2 has:

  • True bypass switching

  • Presets

  • Expression control over every knob

  • MIDI control over everything in the pedal

  • Four routing modes: mono parallel, mono series, mono in stereo out, and true stereo

  • A sync switch to link the motion of the two filters or set them to the same cutoff point

  • Aux footswitch for tap tempo or preset switching

Controls for each side include:

  • Cutoff to set the central cutoff frequency

  • Rate, Depth and Shape to set the speed, range, and shape of an LFO that moves the cutoff around

  • Sensitivity to use your signal strength to manipulate the Cutoff or Rate settings

  • Filter Type, Resonance, and Volume to shape the character of the filter

  • Footswitch to engage or disengage the filter

Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 350mA (not included).
