Beetronics Swarm

Stack the Swarm's modulated fuzz in front of the Bluesbreaker's own round overdrive for something stranger than either pedal gives you alone.

The P50 is built as a pedal platform — the Swarm's modulated fuzz gives it something stranger than its own British crunch.

Push the Cub's chiming clean with the Swarm's thick fuzz and the harmonics bloom instead of turning to mush.

The Traynor SB106's clean, practice-oriented bass EQ gives the Swarm's modulated fuzz textures a straightforward platform.

Beetronics Swarm leans this transparent tone toward fuzzy, which it doesn't make on its own

Stack the Swarm's psychedelic fuzz into the Dragon 25's already-sagging Plexi-style saturation for a thicker, more chaotic breakup.

The Ages' full, saturated overdrive gives the Swarm's fuzz a beefier front end to stack on rather than just adding volume.

The CE-1's lush chorus adds stereo width after the Swarm's own modulated fuzz textures, layering two different kinds of movement rather than doubling one.

The Mako D1's high-fidelity stereo delay gives the Swarm's psychedelic fuzz textures a wide, modern space to trail into. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

The Memory Man's lush analog echo gives the Swarm's psychedelic fuzz textures somewhere to trail off into. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
