Alexander Pedals Space Race

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).

— from the community notes
“The SHIM mode octave-direction control is a practical refinement over most shimmer reverbs which only produce octave-up shimmer enabling either direction from a single mode”
— from the reviews
“The AutoTrails timer is more sophisticated than standard true or buffered bypass allowing precise control over how long the reverb tail decays after bypass”
