From EarthQuaker Devices to Keeley, the results are fruitful when brands enlist guitarists or bands for a twist on a popular effect or to ape their signature sound in a stompbox. Coming in as a relative newcomer in this arena, Tallon Electric — a pedal maker based in Columbus, Ohio — has released a bunch of joint pedal creations with members of mostly metalcore bands such as August Burns Red, Bilmuri and now, Alpha Wolf, for their newest one, “The Noise.”
As its name suggests, “The Noise” provides a novel and chaotic spin on the renowned Whammy pedal’s upper-octave sound. Simply tapping one of its dual momentary switches, the pedal unleashes pitch-shifted ricochets of +1 or +2 upper octave pandemonium. As Alpha Wolf’s Scottie Simpson says, “We go to music shops and turn everything up to see how f#%ked up we can make it sound.” And if that’s your raison d’être in your musical approach, I can guarantee you that Alpha Wolf’s and Tallon Electric’s “The Noise” is exactly the kind of disruptive pitch shifter you need.
