Alexander Pedals Rewind Programmable Echo Raw Aluminum (2023 Chicago Boutique Effects Pedal Showcase Special Edition) Alexander Pedals

This pedal was part of a special offering for those that attended Reverb’s 2023 Chicago Boutique Effect Pedal Showcase, hosted at Chicago Music Exchange. Remaining inventory is now available.

Every player uses delay a little differently – sometimes you need a subtle and tasty echo to add some texture to your playing, and sometimes you need to freak out like the sun is going supernova.  Rewind gives you a ton of options, all of which you can tweak and customize to suit your desires using our simple knob interface.

FEATURES:

• PRESETS: THIRTY-TWO  built-in presets (four banks of 8) allow you to colour with all the crayons in the box.  Hold the Bypass / Preset footswitch to select the next preset, or hold both footswitches for the previous.
• BYPASS TRAILS: The reverb + delay trails are configurable for hard bypass, full trails, or auto trails. In auto trails mode, the reverb will decay normally and then seamlessly ramp to zero volume for the lowest possible operating noise.
• EXPRESSION AND RAMPING: Seamlessly morph between different knob settings on the fly using the built-in ramp footswitch, expression pedal, footswitch, or MIDI controller.
• STEREO INS AND OUTS: The input jack is selectable for standard mono or TRS stereo signal input without opening the pedal.  The output jacks are usable as either mono, two-cable stereo, or TRS stereo.  Connect all your Venture and Leap Series pedals in stereo with TRS cables for a neat and tidy pedalboard!
• MULTIJACK: Connect an expression pedal, footswitch, or MIDI controller to this jack to add performance control to your pedal.  Also compatible with our ALEXPANDER performance control switch!
• USB PORT: Every Leap Series pedal features a USB port for MIDI control and firmware updates.

DELAY ENGINES:

TAPE:  Magnetic mash up based on our favourite tape echo units. Set HEAD to A for a classic single tape echo, or experiment for multi-tap madness.

ANALOG:: Classic 1970s electronic solid-state echo, based on our collection of vintage delay pedals. We’ve added a multi-waveform modulation section for analog style chorus and vibrato textures

DIGITAL:  1980s computer magic lives here, digital delay with modulation. Use the BITS control to dial in low-resolution “early digital” sounds, set it low for clean repeats.

PITCH:  Clean digital delay with a flexible pitch transposer for the ultimate in shifty business. Set the MODE to PRE or POST for traditional pitch shifting, or engage the ARP modes for arpeggio patterns.

DUAL:  Double delay lines in parallel. Set TYPE to MONO for classic dual delay, STER for independent left / right echo, or PONG for panning ping-pong delay. Each delay has 625ms of echo time. Set TIM2 to LOCK to synchronize delay times.

DIFFUSE:  Cloudy day delay, combines a single echo with a reverb-style diffusion filter to smear and wash the delay repeats. We’ve incorporated digital bit crushing as well as two-band EQ to fine tune your ambient experience.

REVERSE: We named the pedal “Rewind,” so you knew this one had to be in here. We’ve upped the delay time to a whopping 2.5 seconds to make your reverse echoes sound cooler, at the cost of a bit of high end and fidelity.

DYNAMIC: Clean digital delay with a flexible audio gate and swell generator. MODE selects GATE (delay is cut off sharply,) BLOM (delay blooms in behind dry signal) or SWEL (delay and dry signal swell in over time)

FILTER: Delay with synth-style resonant low-pass filter. MOD selects filter modulaiton source, SIN and SQU LFO, ENV- and ENV+ envelope follower, RAND random sample and hold, or FIXD parked filter.

LO=FI:  Filthy and gorgeous dirty delay. This mode stacks a digital distortion after the delay pedal for unique textures. Also includes triangle-wave modulation on the delay effect.
