The Expression Ramper X3 by OBNE builds on Old Blood Noise Endeavors’ original Expression Ramper, expanding it into a fully loaded three-channel controller.

With tap tempo, multiple LFO shapes, and the ability to control various pedals at once, it brings fresh movement to your delay, reverb, modulation, or any expression-enabled effect.
