COMMON QUESTIONSWhat exactly is the Swarm?

It's a square-wave fuzz harmonizer that multiplies and divides your signal's frequency to create pitch-shifted layers and modulated chaos.

How does the modulation work?

The Sting control sets the rate of modulation, while Flight adjusts how it tracks your playing—ranging from precise sweeps to unpredictable glitches.

Can I use it as a regular fuzz?

Yes. With harmonies turned down, it works as a gated, aggressive fuzz with a unique edge.

Is it analog?

Yes—fully analog signal path with a unique, synth-style character.

What power supply does it need?

Standard 9V DC center-negative power supply (not included). It draws around 7mA.

Is it true bypass?

Yes, to keep your signal clean when the pedal is bypassed.

What are the size and weight?

Roughly 5.5" x 4" x 2.75", weighing about 1 lb—built solid, just like the rest of the hive.
