Thank you for your feedback. If you're referring to the sounds in the first track, the sort of metallicy droplet sounds, that's a sample I sort of fucked myself with. It was recorded and created using a mix of ship creeking and marbles rolling through a wood tube. It doesn't sound well to me either after a bunch of listens. Had I not given myself a 24 hour rule for these jams It's something I would have absolutely gone back and just not used.
If you're referring to the noise in the second track, that would 100% actually be Dark Star and I think it's hilarious how recognizable the flaws with the pedal are among musicians who are listening to each others work. It's such a unique and amazing little toy but I feel like it's recognizable to audio engineers because of how unfortunately narrow it's niche is.
I'm glad you otherwise enjoyed the release!
I was just talking about the second track. I actually think that marble sound on the first track is very cool!
But yeah as a fellow pedal fan I think sometimes those ambient stereo pedals, even though they're amazing, have pretty limited stereo imaging that end up being kinda "one-trick-pony" after a while. The Slicer has awesome stereo imaging, though, since it has different options. But certain pedals that just have a fixed ping-pong stereo image I'll often not use, and just set them to mono ;P
