You can also pitch shift, detune, and frequency shift your repeats for endless sonic possibilities. The Raster's seven modulation waveforms can be assigned to delay time, pitch shift, or amplitude for a variety of captivating sounds. Envelope and reverse envelope parameters are also available. The Raster comes with four front-panel presets, expandable to 127 via MIDI. Additionally, you can access additional parameters and more through a web-based editor. The Raster also features full stereo I/O, tap tempo, a multi-function control port, and full MIDI implementation. If you're a dedicated delay enthusiast looking for a digital delay pedal with extensive options, the Red Panda Raster 2 offers great value and more.
Red Panda Raster 2 Pedal Features
- 1,600ms of stereo delay, divided into 3 ranges for maximum precision
