Alexander Pedals Radical Delay DX

Alexander Pedals · pedal

The Alexander Pedals Radical Delay DX is the six-mode expanded successor to the original Radical Delay in the NEO Series. Six modes: MOD (clean digital delay with Tweak for chorus or vibrato on repeats), BEND (pitch-shifting spiraling repeats), DYNA (dynamics-sensitive delay responding to pick attack intensity), REV (forward delay, reverse delay, and tape-stop effect via Tweak), ARP (chiptune arpeggiator delay with stacked pitch intervals for 8-bit sequences), and DUAL (parallel delay lines in mono, stereo, or ping-pong). Its DUAL mode includes a ping-pong delay. Features 4 onboard presets, MIDI, expression pedal morphing between two states, and USB.
