Red Panda's Particle 2 is a follow-up to their Particle delay and pitch-shifting pedal, and Sweetwater’s guitar gurus can confirm that the sequel is a marked improvement on its predecessor. This redux not only adds new features, but improves on the existing elements, cleaning up the design to be more ergonomic while taking up less space (via smaller housing). Beyond the basic delay, the granular function is augmented by its pitch-shifting abilities, offering five different delay modes, three different pitch modes across a ± 1 octave range, a delay length of 0 to 2.5 seconds, and adjustable parameters for grain size, density, and feedback. New to this iteration is MIDI compatibility, presets, tap functions for tempo and delay, as well as a freeze function. An iOS and Android-compatible TouchOSC template and a web-based editor open even more options that, frankly, you need to hear for yourself!
