Red Panda Particle 2 is a digital granular delay and pitch-shifting pedal that chops your signal into small grains, then rearranges, shifts and mangles them in real time using granular synthesis. Its sounds range from radical pitch and delay modulation, shimmering repeats and time stretching to stutter and glitch effects.
Particle 2 is a complete redesign of the first version, with improvements for live use and enhanced sound quality. Delay time ranges from 0 to 2500 ms, with a higher sampling rate than the previous version. The pedal features eight combinable modes, while MIDI via USB provides access to additional parameters.
