....approaching two-grand, there's a lot of premium alternatives (guitars, amps, Korg Prologue, 5 stompbox delays). For most people with an $1800 budget, I think they'd rather have a Volante/Echosystem/Nemesis/Tonal Recall/DM-2W bundle than a modern tape echo. :idk:

I am curious to hear more demos though. :snax:

DSP reverb? Interesting design choice.

I’m loving these Airtrash demos, and I totally want one.

Yeah it is a top of the heap noise fuzz with a ton of movement on the decay--both filter and amplitude wise. At lower "gain" it has a cool sizzly fry mixed with clean quality. And it surprised me how beefy it gets. Bonus time: into 2 green ringers (a Chamber of Sounds Zing and a Chicago Stompworks) rather than getting thin and bitey (and octave-uppy lol) it got freaking huge and bassy :idk: :snax:

I love it--one of my favorite noise-makers in a while. There should be moar buzzzzzz :trippy:

How does it do before and after other dirt?

It's a bit unpredicatable overall--but you can get somewhat more predicatable results in terms of interactivity with dirt after the Air Trash than before. Honestly, it typically acts less like a fuzz than something fuzz-like, such as an oscillator-sync device, PLL or PWM (this is in terms of reactivity/interactivity). It's not impossible to stack it, but it's going to do its own thing, and it's going to dominate your signal. For me, it sounds so good I basically want that. imo, it's wilder and fuller sounding than PWMs and PLLs I've had (octave down aside of course), and while it doesn't get as out of control as most oscillating fuzzes, it definitely moves a lot as the signal decays (trem, stutter, arpeggi, etc.) I think the demos are pretty representative, although the lower gain sizzle-blend thing it does isn't given that much run, and they can't capture how big it sounds in the room.

I'm mostly wondering because I wouldn't want to have to tap dance to turn it on. It would be nice if I can have my normal dirt on and then just kick it into trashland

I think that's doable. You're rocking a Mini towards the end, right? Air Trash should punch right through a Mini, craziness intact.

Welp, on a bang for your buck basis, Matty Mattoverse rules.

For only $319, you can get the muffled overdrive sound you've always wanted. For only an additional $50, you can be the envy of everyone with the limited edition white (the most exciting of all finishes).

In case you were disappointed with Mr. Black's 49 previous attempts to get a reverb on your board....why not be disappointed for the 50th time? :idk: :lol:
