Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Alexander Pedals Radical Delay is a compact three-mode digital delay inspired by 1980s clean digital aesthetics in the NEO Series. Three modes: MOD delivers crystal-clear delay with the Tweak knob adding chorus clockwise or vibrato counterclockwise to the repeats, GLITCH adds pitch artifacts and synth-video-game weirdness to the repeats for experimental and chiptune-adjacent sounds, and BEND pitch-shifts every successive repeat spiraling up or down by an octave depending on Tweak position. Features tap tempo integrated into the bypass footswitch, 4 onboard presets, and MIDI.

The Meris Polymoon is a super-modulated delay pedal built around a 1200ms real-time selectable multi-tap delay line paired with 6 custom-tuned LFOs offering adjustable waveforms, capable of anything from subtle wobble to aggressive, synth-like pitch-shifting effects on the repeats. It adds an adjustable Tilt EQ filter in the delay feedback path, a tempo-syncable stereo Barberpole Phaser, a multimode stereo Dynamic Flanger with feedback, a unique feedback topology, a Dimension control for smearing reflections, and selectable quarter or dotted-eighth tap tempo, all running through a premium 24-bit/32-bit floating point signal path with stereo I/O.
