Particle 2 Granular Delay Pedal

Red Panda Particle 2 Granular Delay Pedal

Particle 2 from Red Panda is a long-awaited completely redesigned return of the original granular synthesis pedal. The new version boasts tons of improvements over its predecessor with more potential for glitchy, textural, time-warping, and shimmery sonic madness. The pedal offers significantly more features in a reduced size. The maximum delay time was extended from 900ms to an ample 2500ms. Internal memory for bypass state and active preset are implemented to save time and stress in a pre-performance setting. Tap tempo lets the user set the adjustments for delay time, grain density, LFO with independent note divisions. Any combination of parameters can be assigned and controlled via the external footswitch. The back of the enclosure also features a USB port for communication with MIDI devices. Particle 2 has a total of 8 modes, which can also be combined for more complex granular processing. Finally, the pedal has a fully stereo I/O via the TRS jacks.
