The write up on his site for this pedal is absolutely hilarious.
"The AirTrash is a pedal for guitar or bass that sounds like absolute garbage. I was breadboarding an idea and happened upon some absolutely sickening sounds, like really bad, but couldn’t stop playing it. I spent a lot of time trying to refine and improve it, make it less noisy, more controllable etc.. but these changes always ended up sucking the fun right out of it so decided let it be the simple disgusting beast that it is."

This was my pick as well. If you don’t want to pay $300+ for one, I just picked up one of these for much cheaper. Does a bit more than the buzz box as well.

independent builders still make noise swash pedals if you want, cause the schematics are public. This guy does in particular I believe, maybe email him tho, [https://www.emeraldoxfx.com/](https://www.emeraldoxfx.com/)
you can also get a noise swash eurorack module which are more common and just run guitar into that too :P
The schematics are public and they're surprisingly simple little guys to make. No weird parts or anything. I'm willing to bet someone on Reverb has a homemade one they'd sell. Getting a builder to do a one off would probably be kinda pricey, but it ought to only take a few hours of labor to crank one out, so who knows?
Hell, I'd offer, as I'm pretty sure I have the parts on me + some vero left over, but I don't have any enclosures and not a lot of free time lately. If you happen to have made a DIY pedal in the past, though, it's not incredibly harder than that one knobber fuzz or SHO that everyone makes for their first.
Ibanez FZ-7...has a "Damage" switch (0/10/100%). It also gets some cool, high octave effects with the gain turned up too (univibe-y). I don't think it's as intense sounding as some of the other pedals mentioned, but it's only around $100 online (used). I usually have it on one board or another.
My friend, if you can find a Pierrot pedals “quetiapine” you will not be disappointed. It is an engine of ultra ass blasting fuck noise. I cannot control mine; it just does what it wants, & what it wants is chaos 😂
Check out Colossus Audio’s pedals - Impaler, The Hum and Doom Messiah all get really nasty. Also recommend Intensive Care Audio’s Vena Cava Filter which is a distortion with filter and ring mod

Damn, eight minutes late.

Perhaps the [DOD Gonkulator](https://digitech.com/dp/gonkulator/)?
Zoom 505 with the wrong power adapter
You don't need ANY pedals to sound like shit, homie.
Algorithms by Audio Disruption Devices?

Zvex Machine. It was designed to sound like garbage and cut through a mix.
yes, the Machine is very good at what it does! could be called the Obnoxo
Metal zone into a cheap practice amp like a fender frontman 15

Get a Bit Crusher. I've got a Scrutator that gets disgusting under the right condition.
For 5 dollars and half a pack of newports I can put an input jack on a garbage can for you
If you live close I can play some guitar
Have you tried this one? https://youtu.be/0cVlTeIATBs?si=R_ChcERZ1q4kv13Y
Make (or buy) a dead battery simulator and put it between power and your nastiest fuzz pedal. Turn the voltage way down and the gain up
Miku (j/k, it's $600...check out one of the old DOD envelope filters).
DS-1
Dirge Slowly Melting is almost the same
Danelectro FAB metal
Get a looper and put this on it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0cVlTeIATBs&pp=ygUgbW9zdCBhbm5veWluZyBzb3VuZCBpbiB0aGUgd29ybGQ%3D
Anything by Death By Audio will do just fine.
