NPD (space swash)

[hazelwould]

So I got this thing a couple of days ago. And honestly, it's been a love/ hate sort of thing. That specific setting is my favorite so far. It's incredibly bulbous and FAT, and still has such a unique cutting texture. I'm also able to control the oscillation pitch with my volume knob. Or turn the oscillations off with the oscillation knob on the pedal.

The reason I say hate is because, you can get some totally sick twisted sounds, and other times you get these totally insane sounds that you feel like you can't tweak your self out of. So I feel after a few days I've gotten a good grasp of where I'm at now. I just need to document my settings to save myself the heartache of not getting them back again.

Seriously this is the noisiest pedal I've EVER played. I'm really surprised more people aren't onto this guy.

This was built by Mike at Rhythm and Detonation, and looked at by Dan at 4ms.

I did the art, and pedal enclosure. It was really fun, and has a sort of dark spacey feel to the art. It also has a sort of SS/BS feel with the splattered gold paint all over it.

My friend Scott has a Noise Swash as his only fuzz, and it's literally the least predictable pedal I've ever laid my hands on. His has an LFO inside, and it's a big ol' box of crazy-what-the-fuck.

Those look pretty awesome although I have no idea what they're doing/what they can do. The art on yours looks awesome!

Thanks doodz.

Yea, it's one of the most unique fuzz pedals I've EVER played. The knobs are probably better off unlabeled. Once you tweak a specific setting, it almost nullifies the other knobs function (and gives it something different). EXTREMELY interactive with how they all work together.

I'll try and get some clips up pretty quick here.

Totally, I'm in love now. I've gotten some of the most unique fuzz sounds out of it!!

Awesomez! The only thing I don't like about 4ms pedals is the price, which can be seen in a pedal board all empty of any 4ms crazyness... but...

A pre-assembled is only $199. That's a bargin compared to the amount of knobs and sounds in that box. And I HATE spending loads of money for fuzz/dirt.

Don't have a Swash, Yet.

But this quote is very reminiscent of my early times with the Gnomeratron. And sometimes still.

Also sympathize with heartache of not being able to get back there again on that comparative basis.

You gotta band man? You get some cool pedals and I wanna hear how you apply 'em.

Me?



Naw, I wish. Between family, and work I'm pretty busy. I just jam in my free time. I plan on recording an EP with a friend of mine. I just got the Frazz, so I plan on doing a demo this week of that, and hopefully the swash.

Lead is the swash, and then it gets nutty oscillation at the end.
