The SwellEchoTrash is the AirTrash and the SwellEcho in one enclosure and a combo I very much enjoy. The AirTrash is soft-touch relay true bypass and the Swell Echo is hardwire true bypass and they can both be turned on individually. There is one input and one output and one DC power jack.
TheSwell Echo is simple no nonsense analog voiced dynamic digital echo pedal with an expressive foot-controllable Swell feature which features a unique Swell control that allows you to tailor how quickly the Swell happens after the momentary foot-switch is pressed which can provide quickly overwhelming swells, haunting sustained repeats, and everything in between.
It works great with guitar, bass, synthesizer and drum machines.
Controls are:Time/Repeats /Mix/Swell
The clean delay time limit is around 500-600ms with a maximum delay time of around 800ms at the expense of some additional noise.
The AirTrash is a pedal for guitar or bass that sounds like absolute garbage. I was breadboarding an idea and happened upon some absolutely sickening sounds, like really bad, but couldn’t stop playing it. I spent a lot of time trying to refine and improve it, make it less noisy, more controllable etc.. but these changes always ended up sucking the fun right out of it so decided let it be the simple disgusting beast that it is.
It “works well” with guitar or bass and usually sounds best with the guitar or bass plugged straight into it (first in the pedal chain), didn’t do much for me at all on synths or drum machines. It’s very sensitive to pick attack and input volume.
The blue knob controls the output level. I could not come up with words to properly describe what the red and yellow knobs do so I created those little icons in an attempt to illustrate what words could not describe.
