FIRST SOUNDS // Swell Noise Lost Tapes Delay

August 4, 2026 | Alan

Come with us as we explore the first sounds from the  @SwellNoise  Lost Tapes Delay.

Lost Tapes is the first offering from Swell Noise, from San Geronimo, CA. According to Swell Noise, 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.

It’s a 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

– Reverse Mode with softened attack

– Built for live use
