Super sculptable dirt pedal made in Australia
Beautiful Noise Exploder
EXPLODER is a highly expanded and modified version of the gain circuit from the WHEN THE SUN EXPLODES. A full-range distortion device with wildly more tone customisation options, and in a standalone pedalboard-friendly enclosure.
Dimensions
12cm x 7cm 6cm
Current Draw
37mA
The gain circuit is a 3-way switchable hard-clipping pre-amplifier with 1000x gain amplification, running into an active 3-band EQ post-amplifier which can shape and sculpt your signal across the whole frequency spectrum, anything from gritty amp-like overdrives, to massively destructive fuzz tones.
An envelope controlled white noise generator (commonly used in analog synthesizers) can be blended into your signal which turns on and off with your instrument signal, which can add lo-fi sounds of cassette tape hiss, broken radio broadcasts, rainfall, or over-encumbering harsh washes of noise!
WARNING… this pedal is LOUD.
CONTROLS
Gain: Turn up for distortion.
Master: Output volume control.
Sym: Even hard-clipping, which gets very compressed and fuzzy at high gain levels.
Off: Diode clipping is removed, the distortion heard is the op-amps overloading far beyond its limits. (Warning: will produce buzzing, noise, and potentially harmful amp exploding levels of gain).
Asym: Uneven hard-clipping, harsh and nasally, a mixture between symmetrical and no clipping.
Low, Mid, Hi: Clean 3 band active EQ – mid point is unity. BOOST or CUT the frequency, (fully-cut is zero and no audio passes between this frequency band).
W/N: Volume of white noise generator.
Tone: Hi-pass filter tone control for white noise generator.
Env: Envelope amount for the white noise generator, the higher the knob is set the more sensitive the white noise will turn on while you play.
(If all EQ knobs are at zero, the white noise generator can be the only outputted signal, cutting your instrument completely out of the mix).
Footswitch: Buffered bypass, effect ON/OFF.
Power: 9V DC power supply, standard 2.1mm (negative tip/positive sleeve).
Current: 37mA
Dimensions: 12 × 7 × 6 cm
SKU: BEAUTNOISE#EXPDThe 101
