Build a DIY Noise Swash Pedal

$85.79 (includes all fees)

Build your own Noise Swash pedal, based on the classic 1990s 4ms pedal circuit and using rare original old-stock 4ms PCBs.

Noise Swash is a chaotic random noise-maker, generating its own sounds or working as an audio processor. As a stand-alone device it generates unpredictable continuously morphing oscillations on the Audio Output jack.

Basic features of the "mini" Noise Swash pedal:

Swash: sweetspot heart of the noise circuit
Noisegait: music-noise flow control
Volume: plenty of it!
Tone: Bass/treble mix
Pregain: first stage gain
Postgain: third stage gain
Preclip: diode clipping select
Low power: simulates low battery, each setting is a whole new swash
Self-osc: amount of internal feedback, knob clicks off to disable
Postclip: third stage clipping select

Each Swash has its own peculiarly unique sound. For a sampling, search for Noise Swash on YouTube to see and hear different versions of this circuit in action.

DIY beginners are welcome! No prior experience is necessary, and we are happy to teach you how to solder.
