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 six-mode digital delay blending 1980s clean digital tone with modern modulation and glitch processing. Modes include MOD (modulated delay with chorus or vibrato on repeats), BEND (pitch-spiraling echoes), DUAL (dual-tap delay lines), REV (reverse delay), ARP (chiptune arpeggiator delay), and DYNA (dynamics-reactive delay). Maximum delay time ranges from 680ms to over 5000ms controlled by the CLOCK knob, which also shifts bandwidth from 16kHz down to 1kHz for lo-fi textures. Four onboard presets expand to 16 via MIDI. Neo Morph enables real-time seamless transitions between stored parameter positions.

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.
