Mattoverse introduces AirTrash MKII fuzz with clean blend and post-gain

September 9, 2026 · 3 sources

Mattoverse Electronics has released the Mattoverse AirTrash MKII, an updated version of its experimental fuzz, the maker's product page shows. The original AirTrash was released seven years ago, according to Mattoverse¹. Delicious Audio reported the update on September 9, 2026²; Guitar Pedal X published on it on May 19, 2026³.

The maker describes the pedal as "a pedal for guitar, bass, synths and drum machines" and says the core circuit is unchanged apart from tweaks that allow the blend¹. The Clean-Blend-Trash knob mixes the processed signal with a clean buffered signal; Mattoverse says the clean path is not fully pristine, with a slight high-end rolloff made to keep the circuit's dynamic behavior¹. The post-gain control sits after the blend in the signal chain and raises output volume and gain¹. Delicious Audio describes the two additions as "two major functional improvements"².

Specifications from the maker¹:

The US list price is $219.00¹³. The Mattoverse page listed the Gray, Pink and Yellow variants as sold out at the time¹. Guitar Pedal X lists the controls as "Post-Gain, Clean-Blend-Trash, RED Scramble, AMBER Corrupt, BLUE Make Louder," noting the red and amber names are its own³. The maker says the pedal is "very sensitive to pick attack and input volume"¹.
