Mattoverse AirTrash MKII - Engraved Clear Acrylic Faceplate Like the first version of the AirTrash, which was released 7 years ago, the AirTrash MKII is also a pedal for guitar, bass, synths and drum machines that sounds like absolute garbage. It can be terrible, or terribly wonderful, awful, or awfully amazing, and there are loads of unique tones available if you take the time to explore, from compressed fuzz, to carbonated fizz, to burbling glugs, airy static, and everything in between. It is both a bizarre fuzz/distortion pedal and a totally unique and dynamic modulation pedal. 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 I decided let it be the simple disgusting beast that it is. However, after building and testing over 1,000 AirTrash over these past 7 years I was determined to make an MKII with a couple of improvements that have often been requested and that I have discovered in pairing it with other pedals etc.. over the years. MKII Changes: The core AirTrash circuit is the same with some minor tweaks to allow a cleanish blend so that you can now blend the AirTrashed signal with a clean buffered guitar signal via the Clean-Blend-Trash knob. I say “cleanish” because the clean blend is not 100% pristine, owing to input splitting compromises that result in a slight bit of high end rolloff in the clean signal that had to be made to maintain the unique dynamic nature of the AirTrash. The MKII also features a post-gain control that allows greatly increased volume/gain and is post the blend control in the signal chain. This provides greatly increased output volume so you can enjoy totally crushed AirTrash tones at full volume, add some distortion, or simply have a beefy boost/overdrive pedal with the AirTrash sounds being mixed in as little or as much as you want. Like the MKI, 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), it’s very sensitive to pick attack and input volume. It can be very fun on synths and drum machines as well and the MKII is much more flexible in that regard since you can blend the cleanish signal with the AirTrashed signal and even add some gain to both the clean and AirTrashed signals, which really opens up the creative applications in sound crafting and design.
