This is hand down the best pedal for drum machines, ever! Record loops, blend in with the original, play and manipulate them in real time, tape effect the crazyness and press bypass for return to original. Instant breakdown filler! Just give me a drum machine and the tensor and i'll be in the zone for hours!
Man you dont and cant know how there is a reason i keep coming back to your music. It is because i dream of your melodies. After a mental breakdown induced by "how should i know where this melody comes from" to the freeing "it can only be this guy"... if you still out there making music please let me know
If you don't mind, I'm wondering, with the Shallow Water/Tensor: which would you put first? I'm thinking reverse sounds into the Shallow Water could sound awesome.
You always have such a good sound quality in your videos :) Is there any chance you could do a walkthrough on how you edit/mix/master your sound and just general recording tips?
Thank you :) I don't know if I'll ever do a video on recording but I can tell you what I do. I used to mic my amps (blues junior / supro black magick) with an sm57. Pretty cheap setup really but it gets the job done. Lately I've just been recording direct into my interface (apogee duet). It sounds super clean but you lose the character of the amps and mic. The interface is easier to deal with and sounds clear. The amps sound more gritty I guess. As for the mixing, I don't really do a whole lot outside of volume control. Sometimes I EQ the guitar signal (drop the highs and lows), then reamp it out to may amp again. Other than that I don't do a whole lot of editing. It's kind of a "what you hear is what you get" type thing. It was always my intention to use as little editing as possible in these videos to give people a realistic idea of what they sound like. If you have anymore specific questions, feel free to shoot me a message or email and I'd be happy to try and help you out :)
Thanks. That's what I do. With turning knobs I guess the fine synchronization doesn't matter too much. I wonder how people do it who are sitting with a guitar, and you don't want the sound & vision to be too unconnected. Anyway. Thanks for the cool demo.
Have you found that this pedal is incredibly loud? I love mine but the noise floor, especially when bypassed (weird...) is very present and pretty annoying. De-noising in post helps but I would love to feel more confident about using the pedal live.
Hey Fritz, I had the same problem. I solved it by 1 buying a proper power supply with galvanically isolated outputs and 2 moving it to the front of my chain so that everything that generates gain sits after the tensor. Something else you could do is hook the pedal up to your computer and change the setting to true bypass that will work because in it's standard settings the pedal is not true bypass.
That’s just a regular expression pedal (Moog is the brand of that one), there’s a ton of different kinds out there. But no, it does not come included. They’re pretty cheap though. Thanks for watching :)
@@aBunchOfPedals Np, great! If you don't mind me asking though how did you know to use the expression pedal does it say that in the manual? I've played for years but I've never come across an expression pedal before just curious thanks again.
@@vampin6 yep, a ton of pedals have expression inputs. It’s usually pretty cool and will control one or more of the knob parameters. It usually says in the manual if there’s an option to use an expression pedal.
@@aBunchOfPedals oh wow! Cool I'm going to get one of these when I get extra scratch. Great tutorial I seen a few vids for this but they didn't show that! Thanks again.
aBunchOfPedals what do you think about signal chain with this thing? I’m tempted to lay out my whole path for you but that seems a little excessive. I’m thinking somewhere in the middle, before other time based effects, maybe even before filters, more towards the beginning with the rest of my pitch shifting stuff ( mostly sub octaves because I play funky bass). I heard the upper octaves can be harsh so maybe putting before a filter could mitigate. Thoughts? Mine is back ordered so probably another month or so until I integrate
hey mr bunchofpedals, could this replace a TC Ditto X2, in theory? Do straight looping as well as all the other cool shit? could it even replace an EHX Pitchfork? IS IT THE ANSWER TO ALL MY DREAMS
Hey there! I wouldn't replace a stand alone looper (they're too useful) but yea I guess in theory you could. I think it could replace a pitchfork but I'm not super familiar with that pedal. I'd say try one out and see what you think :)
I tried it in place of a pitch shifter for a while, but a problem with it is it doesn’t get volume quite right OR it’s always on and glitching constantly. It’s not quite right for that. As far as replacing a ditto - only if you only make 4.8 second or less loops! I’d say it doesn’t quite do those things, but does do its own glitchy approximation of them.
: ) I have't got any exciting/weird pedals my self so I have no Idea but the Tensor seems more fun out of the two. Saying that the Particle and Context seems great to.
I feel ya, maybe not for everyone. But dang, you didn’t see a single cool use for it? Lol most effects are toys. Personally I think the whole granular/looper/glitch stuff is perfect when you sync it with drums.
@@aBunchOfPedals toooo many gimmick pedals, pedal companies run out of ideas , some pedal companies its all just about the colour graphics on the pedal rather the sound!

I love your demos. As crowded as the demo "market" is, you fill in the space quite well.
Thanks dude, that's good to hear :)
I agree...your demos really are the best ones...everything's so clear!!! Keep up your very good job...cheers from Italy!!!
Alessandro Seravalle Thanks Alessandro :)
These crazy devices are out in full force! ...now I wish my Ottobit Jr. had a looper. Sounds amazing and feature packed!
I know right?! I never thought effects would be this cool when I first started playing guitar.

Hell yea! The Meris Otttobit Jr is also a drum machine powerhouse! Check it it
Red panda guys never fail...I WANT IT!!!!!
That's a really cool sounding chorus in it's own right
AwakeFM Yea, that was one of my favorite settings.
I actually need this it's very important
Sounds important!
dead jpeg me too as well, also

Thanks for the kind words, it's always nice to see it :)
Yet another demo to cement your status as one of my favorites.
Damn, thanks man. I really appreciate that :)
Between this and your demos for the EAE Sending and Shallow Water, you've helped to positively influence and inspire confidence in my decision making.
Adam C good to hear it. The Sending and SW are a pretty sweet combo.
If you don't mind, I'm wondering, with the Shallow Water/Tensor: which would you put first? I'm thinking reverse sounds into the Shallow Water could sound awesome.
Adam C I like having modulation after the delay (or whatever time based effect). That’s just me though. Try both!
This kinda is a more controllable CT5. Great GREAT video. Good job :)
Filipe Palha Thanks dude, glad you liked it. It has some similarities to the ct5 but I’ll be keeping both :)
Of course you will :)
Filipe Palha I actually bought a second CT5. I can see having two of these pedals being super cool too!
Hahaha so much pedal passion. That's why i like this lil corner of yours.
Filipe Palha Hell yea man, you’re welcome to this corner anytime! It’s a nice little corner :)
Red panda killed it with ths one. Just got mine a few days ago
I just bought one of these and looking forward to getting to know it…
You’ll dig it, so much stuff in such a tiny box!
Will be my next pedal, hopefully in March.
I like it, it does a lot!
I didn't realize that it was a glitch pedal as well.
I'm risking divorce ahahah...
Did you get it????

How do you sync the video to the sound?
Victor Eijkhout I import the raw video into Logic Pro and just drag the actually recording over to match the original sound. Super easy stuff :)
Thanks. That's what I do. With turning knobs I guess the fine synchronization doesn't matter too much. I wonder how people do it who are sitting with a guitar, and you don't want the sound & vision to be too unconnected. Anyway. Thanks for the cool demo.
Victor Eijkhout No problem :) Its extremely accurate (maybe off by a few samples, of even that). Just watch the led light up and the sound change.
Have you found that this pedal is incredibly loud? I love mine but the noise floor, especially when bypassed (weird...) is very present and pretty annoying. De-noising in post helps but I would love to feel more confident about using the pedal live.
Fritz Rodriguez No, I never noticed a lot of added noise with mine (except when using some of the loop modes). Maybe try a different power supply?

awesome, thanks for posting
Hey I see you have a separate pedal for that bass effect, does that come with the pedal also or can you get that by itself? Thanks

just placed order. will this do whammy like things? Just expression controlling the pitch. Curious. Stoked. Gonna find out.
Yea I think it would do something similar. I'm not super familiar with the Whammy so I can't say it would be the exact same thing. It's fun though.

Délivrance Yup, it’s pretty sweet! Lots of sounds in a tiny box.
Dude, sounds incredible!!
Thanks dude! It's a cool one for sure.
I got to film a demo of it at NAMM. It's really nice to hear it in a less chaotic setting, haha
Yea it was actually a lot more than what I was expecting.
3:42 ONE MORE TIME
hahaha, yea that does sound like it!
Looks like panda they made something special like my hexe revolver DX ;-)
VolcaRock I just recently heard about Hexe pedals. They seem really cool!
electroharmonix 16-second can do similar things but records up to 4 minutes
Jason Elstad never tried one of those but they look pretty cool
I loved it... Gonna buy one
Are you using an amp or a direct solution? Thanks
In this video I'm recording direct into an apogee duet. I usually list all the gear I use in the description :)
sweet, thank you!
Nathan Sousa No problem, always up for answering questions :)
Nice!
why does this makes me think of Pink Floyd? (until 4:40 something)
Have you tried to put the Red Panda Particle before or after?
jonas eggen This is my first Red Panda pedal. Pink Floyd is in my top 5 favorite bands of all time.
: )
I have't got any exciting/weird pedals my self so I have no Idea but the Tensor seems more fun out of the two. Saying that the Particle and Context seems great to.
This is without a doubt a fun pedal :)
+ 4 musicality to : )
Particle is great too...
Now do the Red Panda Particle 2
Nah lol
What would happen if you put this in front of a Disaster Transport Sr? :P Wicked demo man, sub'd
AwakeFM Probably something awesome! Thanks :)
I have both and it sounds amazing!!
bgoodism oh man I have the DTSR, can't wait to get the tensor!!
I think they're back in stock at Coast Sonic
aBunchOfPedals thanks for the heads up man! Just picked up a Syntax Error from them...wicked fast shipping.
The Books in a box...
Check this guy from Sardinia...not acrually a stompbox...more a real instrument...I recently bought it...plugged in the particle is pure weirdness!!!!
Excitebike! haha!!
woot woot!
Detroit hustles harder!
August Alchemy I’m not entirely sure what that means but I feel like I agree with you for some odd reason lol
aBunchOfPedals Red Panda is from Detroit! :)
I want weird 🤗
I can’t just spend all my money pedals.
You can and will.
I can, I will, I must.
We need a support group.
Just had this very thought
Omg🙄
You'd never use it, it's a toy , another pedal that will end up on your self
I feel ya, maybe not for everyone. But dang, you didn’t see a single cool use for it? Lol most effects are toys. Personally I think the whole granular/looper/glitch stuff is perfect when you sync it with drums.
