Blended 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.

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 Strymon DIG is a dual digital delay built on a SHARC DSP chip, offering two flexible, detailed delay engines that can run in series or parallel for cascading lines, ping-pong rhythms, and rich layered echoes. It provides three digital delay voicings: an early-1980s adaptive delta modulation mode and a mid-1980s 12-bit PCM mode that nail the warm, slightly gritty character of vintage digital rack units without their aliasing and noise, plus a modern high-resolution 24/96 mode for pristine, hi-fi repeats. It is noise-free and sounds great with clean or high-gain tones, and it adds lush chorus, flanging, and modulation to the repeats. With tap tempo and stereo operation, it suits players wanting warm vintage digital character or modern clarity, ideal for rhythmic, ambient, and classic 80s-style delay tones.
