Alexander Pedals · pedal
The Alexander Pedals Space Race is a six-mode digital reverb in the NEO Series with an analog dry signal path, 4 onboard presets expandable to 16 via MIDI, expression pedal morphing, and an AutoTrails timer for precise tail decay control. Six modes: MOD (modulated chamber reverb with pitch modulation depth control), SHIM (pitch-shifted shimmer with octave up or down direction control), LOFI (dirty filtered reverb with degraded character), PLATE (bright present plate simulation with high-frequency damping), SPRING (drippy spring tank simulation from subtle to pronounced), and ANALOG (BBD-style multi-tap emulation producing individually audible echo taps within the reverb tail).
