Swell Noise Lost Tapes Delay Pedal
Swell Noise is a new effects pedal company based in San Geronimo, CA. They design unique-sounding tools that help musicians find inspiration fast—without digging through menus or presets. The first release, Lost Tapes, is a delay pedal built to sound like an old cassette machine breaking down in just the right way. The repeats drift, blur like a fading memory.
Truetone Music is product to be a dealer for Swell Noise and present the Lost Tapes Delay. As soon as we saw it at the 2026 L.A. Pedal & Synth, we knew we had to have it.
Every Swell Noise circuit is designed in-house and carefully tuned by ear. Each pedal is fully tested before it ships out. They build in small batches, using quality components. Each pedal is meant to feel intuitive and sound great right out of the box.
A lo-fi delay with random modulation and a love of noise.
- Self-oscillates without input
- Random Vibrato inspired by the instability of old tape
