EBS Black Haze Version 2 Blended Drive Pedal
The EBS Black Haze Version 2 is a gritty, growling, and gloriously warm overdrive designed to give bassists that perfect blend of vintage tube-like saturation and modern distortion punch. If you’ve ever craved the rich harmonic drive of an old-school tube amp, but with the flexibility to sculpt your tone exactly how you want it, this pedal is your new best friend.
Unlike many drive pedals that can obliterate your low end, the Black Haze V2 is built specifically for bass, meaning your tone stays fat, full, and powerful no matter how much gain you dial in. And with its blend control, you can perfectly balance your clean and driven signals, ensuring you never lose definition in the mix.
Vintage Warmth Meets Modern Grit
At its heart, the Black Haze V2 is a smooth, organic overdrive pedal, but don’t be fooled—it can also push into full-on distortion territory when needed. The Gain knob lets you move from a subtle, warm tube-like saturation to aggressive, snarling drive, while the Tone control shapes your sound from dark and moody to bright and biting. Whether you’re playing classic rock, blues, punk, metal, or experimental fuzzed-out madness, this pedal has you covered.
More Control, More Versatility
The real magic of the Black Haze V2 lies in its Blend control, allowing you to mix your dry bass signal with the driven tone. This means you can dial in as much clarity and punch as you need, preventing your sound from turning into an indistinct wall of fuzz. Whether you want a subtle, dynamic push for fingerstyle, a gritty bite for pick playing, or an all-out distorted fuzz bomb for heavy riffs, the Blend knob ensures you don’t lose the body of your bass.
Enhanced for Version 2
The Black Haze V2 takes the original formula and refines it even further, offering improved low-end retention, smoother gain response, and an even more balanced tone across all settings. Whether you’re stacking it with other pedals or running it solo, it’s now even easier to dial in the perfect amount of drive without sacrificing your bass’s natural character.
Built for the Stage and Studio
Like all EBS pedals, the Black Haze V2 is built to last, housed in a compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure with a rugged design that can withstand countless gigs, rehearsals, and recording sessions. The true bypass switching ensures that when the pedal is off, your signal remains completely unaffected, maintaining the clarity and integrity of your original tone.
If you’re searching for a versatile, responsive, and incredibly musical overdrive that lets you add warmth, grit, and character to your bass without losing clarity or punch, the EBS Black Haze V2 is an absolute must-have. Whether you're crafting a thick, vintage growl or pushing into heavy distortion, this pedal delivers pure tonal magic with every note.
