Description

here at Just Pedals we love this Red Panda Radius Ring Modulator and Frequency Shifter Pedal.

Radius puts complex harmonic structures, bell-like tones, metallic textures, frequency shifting, soft tremolo, and bubbly phaser sounds at your fingertips.

The Radius is a ring modulator and frequency shifter with pitch tracking and an advanced LFO. It is designed around a novel “eight-quadrant multiplier” algorithm that smoothly transitions from ring modulation to frequency shifting and allows different frequency ratios for the upper and lower tones.

Key Features

• Stereo Modulation – Modulation in High Definition!
• Choose Your Favourite Frequency Ratio – Selectable 2X frequency ratios for upper and lower sidebands.
• Advanced LFO Waveforms – The Radius has an advanced LFO with triangle, square, random waveforms and an eight step sequencer, all of which can be envelope triggered.

Pitch tracking, a push-to-tune footswitch, and picking dynamics make the Radius responsive and predictable on stage.

Oscillation Control

Hold the left footswitch and play a note to tune the carrier oscillator to that note. Pitch tracking maintains the pitch ratio as you play up and down the scale, or tracks by a ratio (or inverse) for more dynamic sounds. An expression pedal can be assigned to any combination of knobs.

Intelligent Sound Design

Well-spaced controls and stereo input/output make the Radius perfect for sound design, synths, and creative mixing. A full MIDI implementation allows you to sync to MIDI clock, sequence parameter changes, and play the carrier oscillator from a keyboard.

The Radius is a musical ring modulator and frequency shifter that transforms the timbre of your instrument in new ways. With deep features and intuitive control, Radius modernizes classic electronic techniques for the future.
