ISO signal-destroying pedals

[K2000]

Absolute Destruction might be a notch filter or band pass filter ? (I have no technical knowledge). But it seems like certain frequencies get emphasized, so that filter effects sound unstable. Are you a guitar player? My suggestion may be more directed at synth people who bought an Absolute Destruction and are wondering WTF can I use this for

playing a bass/guitar hybrid. yeah, thanks for clarifying this thing, i guess i thought you meant that this DBA was itself a filter that whose feedback/noise qualities were variable dependant on what sources came before it...

I don’t understand your comment about end of chain feedback source. I’m suggesting that the AbsDestruction and Glitch Computer will make your signal unstable (sounds like bad tracking, similar to the Buzz Box).

...which is why i thought it might be an interesting blanket noise source for the end of my signal chain, but it is the overwhelming tone of the Thornoscillator i'm seeking, so i will go for one of those last one online sold for $400 and MASF isnt showing any sign of making more in the near future

I'll send a smoke signal to Norway, don't you worry.

did Eivind see your smoke Goroth? maybe the 4MS can get that overpowering harsh noise the Thornscillator has?

I am not a super technical person so I will chime in in retardo terms. I do have both the 4ms Noise Swash and MASF Thornoscillator. I do not use them with a guitar but with contact mics and samples. I do not find the pedals similar at all but sure both will destroy your signal like nothing else. Noise Swash has plenty of knobs (the mini has 8 knobs and 2 switches) and at least I feel like they really do control one parameter each. Turn a knob and you get less or more of something. Thornoscillator on the other hand is more wild IMO. Signal destruction but in the best '90s japanoise way. Turn a knob and the sound goes through a range of "modes". And the knobs interact a lot so turning two is already a bumpy ride. Only 4 knobs (I have the version with graphics, the plain one has an extra switch, for gain if I remember right) but really learning how they interact and where the sweet spots are is not a 5min knob twist exercise. If you just want set-and-forget destruction then sure it is easy to find something awesome in both but if you're a knob-twiddler I'd say Thornoscillator wins. At least for my non-guitar japanoise-worshipping brain.

thanks moozz - thornoscillator it is! harsh japanoise was the exact retardo term for the sound i was looking for. i msg'd MASF about them and theres no sign of anymore being made

Always wanted a noise swash. I was wondering if the electrolobotomy pedal the particle collider was the same circuit. Looking into the Thornoscillator. Love me some noise!!!

i decided to go with one of our friend Adam's creations:

i end up combining it with an input triggered white noise generator

so what are you using for this?
