The Erica Synths Liquid Sky Dada Noise System is an experimental effects unit rather than a conventional noise gate. Erica Synths describes it as "an experimental sound-lab for Musique Concrete / ambient noise / abstract sounds and sound design"1. It was created in cooperation with the Liquid Sky artist collective of Berlin and Portugal1.
What it is for
Erica Synths positions the Dada Noise System well outside the territory of a standard noise reduction pedal like the Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor or the TC Electronic Sentry. Where those units trim unwanted hiss from a signal chain, the Dada Noise System is built to generate and mangle sound. The maker says it is "Great for processing field recordings, pads, experimental vocals, extra terrestrial atmospheres and for generating mad noise patterns and pads"1.
Players working in ambient, experimental and sound-design contexts are the intended audience; a player looking for a straightforward gate for a high-gain rig would be better served by the dedicated noise gate pages on this site.
