Gen Thalz is the noise gear and synth-building project of Marlon B. Zoleta, a Filipino multimedia artist who has been experimenting with audio-visual and written expression since 2006. The project operates as a one-builder workshop focused on hand-built, often single-run instruments aimed at the harsh noise and experimental electronic communities, sold direct through the Gen Thalz website and through Reverb.

The catalog centers on small-format noise synthesizers with playful, irreverent naming. Signature builds include the HNW Machine, a dedicated Harsh Noise Wall generator that produces white noise, crackles, and dense walls of sound; the Cut-Up Noise Thingy (C.U.N.T.), an arcade-button synth designed for layering, cutting, and modulating bursts of harshness; and the P.T.S.D. Gyroscopic Synth, a tilt-controlled noise box with a wavefolder, gyroscopic sensor, dual oscillator, and built-in microphone. Other instruments include the WARATH and a Eurorack version of the HNW Machine.

Alongside finished instruments, Gen Thalz takes on custom builds for other artists and hobbyists in the noise scene. The project sits on the DIY end of the synth world, closer to lo-fi noise circuit-bending and Eurorack experimentation than to mainstream synthesizer manufacturing.

Gen Thalz has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Tabletop Synthesizers and Mixers. Their gear is featured by 2 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Pop. Notable users include Gerard Way and Junky.
