Last month, we had the privilege to investigate the wonderful Raster 2 Digital Delay from Red Panda, and instantly fell in love with it. Today, we’re looking at a pedal that takes the delay effect genre and flips it completely upside down – the Particle 2 Granular Delay gives you aspects of echo, pitch shifting, reverse delay and much, much more. Lots to this one, we’d better dive right in!! Particle™ is a granular...

The folks over at Red Panda make some wacky pedals, plain and simple (check out the Particle, for example). One pedal that doesn’t fly off the radar into crazytown is the Context Reverb, which is just a hands-down great and versatile reverb pedal.
