Noise Swash
The 4ms Noise Swash is a legendary, boutique noise-generation and distortion pedal handcrafted in the USA. Known for its chaotic and unpredictable nature, it functions as a "distortion/oscillator/drone/squelch machine" that can either process external audio or generate sounds independently. The circuit is designed to produce a wide array of extreme textures, ranging from aggressive fuzz and bit-crushing distortion to self-oscillating LFO-modulated soundscapes. Key technical features include a "Swash" control for finding sweet spots in the noise circuit, a noise gate for flow control, and multiple gain stages with selectable diode clipping. Unique to its design is a "Low Power" control that simulates a dying battery to unlock glitchy, erratic behaviors. It also features a dedicated self-oscillation stomp switch and internal feedback controls. Housed in a durable aluminum enclosure, the Noise Swash is a staple for experimental musicians looking to destroy conventional tones and create unique, "mental" sonic environments.
