DivKid’s Square Pedal Test: West Coast Chaos in a Box

When DivKid gets his hands on a new pedal, you know it’s about to get weird. This time, he’s wrangling The Square by Nick’s World of Synthesizers—a so-called ring mod that takes basic synth sounds and spits out snarling, west coast-inspired textures. We’re talking Buchla dreams, FM filth, and a shedload of gritty character, all from a device that looks simple but punches way above its weight. If you thought ring mods were just clang and misery, buckle up.
