Alexander Pedals Radical Delay

Alexander Pedals · pedal

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.

What stands out

  • “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)”

    — from the listing

  • “Strength: the variable CLOCK knob effectively provides a bandwidth control, unlocking lo-fi textures that most digital delays cannot achieve”

    — from the reviews

  • “ARP mode functions as a pitch-shifted arpeggiator delay, making it useful well outside typical delay territory”

  • “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”
