Music enthusiasts are excited about exploring new pedals, especially those that offer unique and adventurous sounds. However, it can be challenging to find a pedal that delivers crazy effects while remaining genuinely useful. Tallon Electric has introduced a product that fits this description: The Noise, created in collaboration with metalcore band Alpha Wolf.
This pedal can be succinctly described as a Whammy-inspired device, featuring two footswitches that shift the signal up by one octave or two. Users simply press a button to achieve these octave shifts.
However, The Noise offers more than just pitch shifting. Its controls, labeled panic, chaos, speed, and rise, add a layer of complexity. The functionality of these controls isn’t entirely clear, but according to Guitar World, demo videos suggest that they allow for dialing in chorus, flanger, and ring modulation effects. The rise control, in particular, determines how quickly the effect impacts the listener.
In a joint statement, Alpha Wolf and Tallon Electric expressed their enthusiasm for the pedal, stating, “Bringing you a brand-new take on the iconic whammy sound that has helped shape our sound for many years. After testing and trialling this pedal live for the past six months, we can say with utmost certainty that we absolutely love this pedal and it will never be leaving our boards. It’s the pedal we’ve forever been searching for, and it simply did not exist. Until now.”
The Noise was released on October 31, an apt date for such a pedal. One intriguing demo by Andrew Baena of Carcosa showcases the pedal’s capabilities, allowing listeners to discover its unique sound. While it’s difficult to articulate the specific tones produced, the pedal delivers a wonderfully nasty and delicious tone that many will appreciate.
