Before there was 4ms Company, a producer of Eurorack modules, there was 4ms Pedals, an effect pedals company known for thier unique custom pedals that changed with each run. Starting in 1996 in a small workshop near Chicago, 4ms Pedals began experimenting with sound and technology to create a line of pedals like no other.

All of these products have since been discontinued but we will hold them in our hearts (and our ears) forever.

Each pedal was built, designed, printed, and pasted by hand.

FAQs

What is the primary function of the 4ms Noise Swash module in a Eurorack setup?

The 4ms Noise Swash module is primarily used as a noise generator and random CV modulation source, making it ideal for creating chaotic, unpredictable sounds and modulations in a modular synth setup.

How much space does the 4ms Noise Swash take up in a Eurorack system?

The 4ms Noise Swash occupies 16HP of horizontal space in a Eurorack system, which is a moderate size for a module offering noise generation and random modulation features.

Can the 4ms Noise Swash module be used for creating rhythmic patterns?

While the 4ms Noise Swash is more focused on generating noise and random CV modulation, creative patching can lead to rhythmic patterns, though it is not its primary function.

Is the 4ms Noise Swash suitable for beginners in modular synthesis?

The 4ms Noise Swash can be intriguing for beginners due to its unique sound capabilities, but understanding its random and chaotic nature may require some familiarity with modular synthesis concepts.

Does the 4ms Noise Swash require any additional modules to function?

The 4ms Noise Swash can operate independently within a Eurorack system, but integrating it with other modules can enhance its capabilities and allow for more complex sound design.
