Red Panda Context 2 Reverb Pedal RPL-102V2

The Context is a reverb pedal inspired by 1980's rack mount reverbs. Ithas 8 algorithms, including room, hall, cathedral, gated reverb, reversereverb, plate, spring, and a granular reverb. Each algorithm featuresseparate high and low frequency damping controls, pre-delay, modulation,dynamics (duck/expand), and infinite hold. In addition, delay is alwaysavailable, along with tremolo in spring mode.

The modulationknob changes the amount and character of the internal reverb modulation,specific to each algorithm. It gives you a mix of different modulationtypes from 1980's and early 90's reverbs, including chorus modulation,random modulation that keeps the pitch stable, and deep modulatedreverbs. Holding down the shift button adjusts the modulation rate.

Reversereverb fades in louder and brighter over time, giving the impression ofplaying backwards. Modulation adds a wash of normal reverb.

Thespring reverb was designed using the techniques and algorithms that wereused in 1980's reverbs, but with enough DSP power to drip and feel likea spring tank. You can adjust the length of the decay, high and lowfrequency damping. The modulation is tremolo with adjustable intensityand speed.

Grain mode is a granular reverb inspired by the UrsaMajor SST-282 Space Station. The SST-282 was released in 1978 and usedmultiple delay taps with modulation to create reverb effects. TheContext can create ghostly reverb effects, slowly sweeping resonances,and at higher modulation settings is a multi-voice granular processorthat creates clouds of detuned sound fragments for entirely new reverbsounds.

When the shift button is held down, the top row of knobsadjust delay parameters. The low and high damping knobs adjust dynamicsfor ducking reverb or an expander for more reverb on louder notes, withadjustable threshold and recovery time. Holding down the foot switchesgives you two different types of infinite sustain.

One presetavailable on the left footswitch, 4 using a remote footswitch, and 127via MIDI. The expression pedal can be assigned to any combination ofparameters. We also have a web-based editor for tweaking and managingyour presets.

Designed and assembled in USA. The Context 2 requires a 9 V 250 mA center negative power supply (not included).
