The Black Haze 2 is the ultimate solution for a rich and creamy
drive sound for your bass or guitar. Experience a world of sonic
possibilities with its Type switch, allowing you to switch between a
Deep, low-end fuzzy drive to a more gnarly type of overdrive in the
Normal and Thin positions. Plus, the new Blend control empowers
you to precisely determine the perfect balance bet ween your clean
signal and the gripping drive. We’ve included a convenient Gain
adjustment pot inside the pedal, ensuring you can compensate the
volume in case you experience a drop in level at your desired mix
setting.

- Depending on how you set the blend, a slight drop in volume
can be experienced when engaging the pedal. If that happens,
there is a Gain adjustment pot on the inside to compensate for
the loss. Remove the bot tom plate and you will find the pot as

RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
We recommend powering this pedal with the EBS A D-9 Pro power
supply or the EBS RUNSTEN DC power brick solution to power an
entire pedalboard. Cables to distribute power from one AD9, or to
distribute power from the outlets of the RUNSTEN are also available
from EBS space-saving pedalboard accessories collection.
To connect one pedal to another, we recommend the original EBS
Flat Patch Cables in order to save space and secure a great signal
quality between your pedals.
See the ACCESSORIES sec tion on our website for the entire
collection.
