The Red Panda Tensor combines delay, looper and pitch-shifting effects in a single pedal. It provides real-time reverse, tape stop, pitch shifting, time stretching and hold functions that can be combined in creative ways. Slow down, speed up or rewind in real time, and stretch or compress time without changing pitch.

Tensor can loop, overdub and randomly slice phrases up to 9.4 seconds in mono or 4.7 seconds in stereo. Intelligent randomization adapts to the control settings, producing anything from occasional CD skips, stutters and rhythmic repeats to random slicing and erratic pitch shifts. Both footswitches offer momentary and latching modes for pitch jumps, glitches or instantly rewinding what you just played.

The pedal has a pedalboard-friendly metal enclosure with all jacks mounted on top. The controls are immediately accessible, with well-spaced knobs for live tweaking. USB MIDI supports recording and sequencing.
