guitar noise generator

[FUZZZZzzzz]

ive been thinking about one of my synthesizers (realistic mg1) which has a noise generator. does anyone know of a guitar pedal that creates (pink/white or whatever) noise? but to use it in a more melodic and controlled context.

Look up parasitstudio.se. He does lots of guitar synth and noise generator pedals, provides strip layouts and pcbs.

If you have a strong fuzz before a wah or filter and whack all the strings, it pretty much nails filtered noise although this trick sounds better with a bass guitar to me. Vox Fuzz Wah does it in one box. But maybe you're thinking of something that does soft wave swooshes that ebb & flow to the picking while you play a plaintive tune?

listen to the Jesus and Mary Chain, they used Shin-Ei TR-8 fuzz wah's, hollow body guitars and loud fender twin's
there are other fuzz pedals that can get you in that 'wall of noise' territory as well. also reverb before fuzz does make some big noise as well.

Funnily enough, I stumbled upon this just the other day:

Sandstorm Envelope Noise Generator

Alternately, you could just make some sort of envelope follower combined with any one of the myriad methods for obtaining white noise.

I recently spent an obscene amount of time trying to get the "right" white noise for a snare drum circuit I was working on, only to realize that a tambourine sound would be more suited to my purpose.  Then I spent a comparably obscene amount of time setting up an electronically triggered/but physically struck (via solenoid) tambourine contraption, only to find that there is no way to sufficiently minimize the noise from the solenoid mechanism.  So I finally settled upon a tambourine sample, meticulously tailored to fit--at 8 bits, 22.05 khz sampling rate--onto an Attiny85, with only a few bytes to spare.

ive build a snare sound in the past, using a sample and hold amplifier sampling a signal outside of our hearing range, while the sample frequency sweeps down like an 808 kick. kind of 8bit game explosion sound, but more snare-ish
