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.

Dirty little thang

It's a naughty pedal and does not behave... perfect! Excellent build quality, smooth, tactile knobs and great aesthetics give way to a rampaging beast waiting to break free. Lowest knob is a bit of combination distortion and volume and easiest way to dial in something is to use it with one of the top two leaving whichever other top knob all the way down. This alone gives you a tone of range and cacophonous fury but when you tire of that spending some time dialing in small amounts of both the top two knobs while more picky is amazing when you find a sweet spot. Want something gruff, noisy and hard to tame in all the right ways get you one of these

The Start of Many Things to Come

Excellent pedal. Fantastic built quality. The smoothest knobs on any pedal I have ever owned.
Sonically, there is a lot to explore. The slightest change of knob position leads to new textures and harmonics. Hours of tinkering. It's a little lowfi with a moderate/high noise floor, but for most music you would put this pedal with - that does not matter at all.
I'd be keen to see a V2 at some point with expression control over knobs because that's where I think the true creative joy lies.

Perfect for noise rock and punk music

I bought this pedal for noise rock and punk music and it delivers on at fronts. It has a surprisingly wide range or sounds and timbres to work with. Really happy with my purchase.

Throbbing mass of fun

Great pedal, not for the faint of heart. Goes from smashed up fuzz to static filled warbling weirdness. Lots of fun just twisting knobs every which way. Great for trying to recreate the sound of industrial bands of the 70s and 80s.

In a post apocalyptic world, this would be the sound for the new global anthem. Radioactive noise, with this you can be the hanatarash of the 22nd century.
