Iota

Old Blood Noise Endeavors takes a leap from effect pedals into full instrument territory with the Iota Tone Generator. This pedal-shaped instrument houses a powerful oscillator that integrates seamlessly into your pedalboard. Set your root note, scale intervals, range, and octave, then shape the sequence with bend, glide, and swing parameters. Layer in an envelope with multiple shapes and timings, control sequencer direction and rate, and add random or patterned skips and holds. Hit the footswitch to launch everything in motion while your hands remain free to tweak your entire setup.

The Iota gives you deep hands-on control with dedicated knobs for oscillator voice, volume, noise blend, vibrato, note glide, and sequencer swing. A volume envelope shapes your attack and release, while sequencer range and direction controls let you craft evolving melodic lines. Choose between mono or stereo output to match your rig's needs. Use the auxiliary footswitch for individual note triggering, tap tempo control, or preset switching. Expression pedal support and full MIDI control—including tempo sync and note input via MIDI—open the door to dynamic, synchronized performances. Store up to 12 presets onboard or up to 127 via MIDI, with global overrides to define what each preset recalls. Runs on 9V center-negative DC power with soft-touch switching for reliable operation.
