This is the Red Panda Radius Ring Modulator and Frequency Shifter Pedal from Red, listed in Guitar Pedals on guitars pedals amps and stuff.. Read More below.

Description

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.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Phaser

Phaser is a modulation effect that creates a smooth, swirling sound by splitting the signal and shifting the phase of one path before mixing it back with the original. As the phase shift is modulated, it produces moving peaks and dips in the frequency response, giving the effect its characteristic sweep.

It is commonly used to add movement and texture to guitars, keyboards, and other instruments, ranging from subtle and warm to deep and psychedelic. Phaser effects are strongly associated with classic funk, rock, and 1970s tones, but remain widely used in modern music for their fluid, musical character.

Tremolo

Tremolo is an effect that creates a rhythmic pulsing by varying the volume of the guitar signal up and down. It can be subtle and smooth or choppy and pronounced, adding movement and texture to clean tones and is commonly associated with classic amps and vintage-style sounds.
