99Sounds has announced the release of Dark Engine, a free collection of feedback sound effects and distorted drum hits created by Timur Arynov aka MyOSS.

Dark Engine sounds hard, dirty and distorted. Firstly, I had recorded synthesized and sampled drums through Boss OS-2 distortion / overdrive pedal. Secondly, I had recorded self-oscillated feedback from MXR Carbon Copy analog delay pedal through old guitar processor.

It was a lot of fun tweaking knobs on delay pedal and hear that monstrous sound. For the best results all samples should be used as layers to other drums and sound effects.
