love Alexander pedals… I dropped an unopened beer on my board and fried two Alexander pedals (la calaverra phaser (favorite pedal of all time) and F-13 flanger)… broke a selector switch on the phaser… sent them to Alexander and they fixed and returned them no charge… I’m a customer for life and will get this… sounds amazing!
Wow! This one really flew under my radar! I think Alexander Pedals is an extremely underrated and innovative pedal company and this showcases one of their latest creations so well!
This pedal is so impressive. Amazing sounds and incredible versatility, and in an enclosure that’ll accommodate any rig. My first in-depth encounter with Alexander Pedals has been nothing short of a joy. Hope you dig the Rewind as much as I do 😊🙏
I bought this pedal a month ago. Many lovely sounds in that small box. I've been waiting for this review to see how you use it so I can steal some ideas.
I love that you can get those lovely deteriorating tape "wows" and "flutters" in several of the settings... almost like there's a Generation Loss built in to this pedal. Incredible. Thanks for demoing this - you've sold me. This would be my one-stop delay pedal, with more than I think I need.
I have one and am very happy to see it featured here. The pedal is very good and is a great deal for its versatility, customization power and size. At the same time, it is easy and simple to use. Alexander Pedals should get more attention from everyone as they are very creative and bring a fresh approach to more advanced needs. Thanks so much for sharing the settings you've created, they're a good guide to start exploring. Now all that's left is to play as well as you do.
I can testify, this pedal does every single thing I want a delay to do. even with the delay time turned all the way down you can just use it for never ending tones from chorus to melted tape to bit crusher/fuzz/analogue crunch. if you're looking into lofi pedals but don't want to drop a ton of money on something like a gen loss I think for the price this will get you where you want to go and then some. also the customer service has been great, they're very quick to respond to any questions I had and helped troubleshoot some stuff for me. also easily accessible presets and ramping.... I could go on
Just magic, Stefan. Magic. You are my go-to demo channel, always have been. Loved the little Organic Oscillations bit and the synth section was WONDERFUL. What a superbly thought out pedal with so much versatility and such a fabulous interface. You have beautifully illustrated what this pedal can do with some sublime articulate and emotion filled playing. Lovely stuff.
Superb my friend. I love hearing you demo delay pedals, especially when there is a pitch algorithm in the mix. This pedal is massively versatile. I like that it's not just another multi-delay with standard algorithms, but has some really creative menu and resultant sound options. I was already thoroughly impressed by the end of the guitar demo...and then the synth appeared to play an arp through delay! Instant Tangerine Dream and what a way to finish! ❤️
Man! What a lovely comment. Thank you so much, my friend. This pedal does indeed pack an extraordinary feature punch. And I'm happy you enjoyed the final synth example. I could seriously have sat there for hours just listening to those glorious stereo ping-pong delays. Had to stay very focused to keep that example as short and concise as possible, otherwise I would just float away 😂😊❤
I have this pedal on my board, it's fantastic. I love the sounds you're getting, totally different to what I've got dialed in but but that's the beauty of the flexibility of this thing.
If there's one thing I've learned throughout all of my years as a pedal enthusiast, it's that you'll never have enough delay pedals 😂 Happy you like this one. It's really cool. Packs a serious creative punch
Your demonstration of this pedal caused me to buy it, brother. My first Alexander purchase was the History Lesson v3, but this takes that to a whole new level. Fantastic device, jam packed with amazing tones, versatility of use, and all in an unassuming package that would fit most any board, effortlessly delivering far above what its price point would suggest. It really comes alive, in stereo! Thanks again, Stefan, for the absolutely first rate demonstration and for what you bring to the music community, as well. All of it is greatly appreciated, beyond words. I just wish you shipped to the United States, so I could give you my pedal business lol. If you ever release a collection of your music, I and many others would gladly buy it, without hesitation. Something to consider.
Can it do everything the History lesson v3 can? Cause I was initially looking at the rewind and then saw the History Lesson v3 and really like all the versatile cool sounds you can get from the v3. It seems like it can do a lot even with some modes from history lesson but wondering if it can cover everything the history lesson v3 can do? And i mean like everything. Cause Rewind already seems insanely packed with versatilely and for its price point is sort of mind blowing.
@@thepedalzone I’ve been watching your channel for years now. I’ve been building a modular eurorack the past 6 months and I’ve been watching your older videos for stereo effect ideas.
It really is a great pedal. The new beta firmware allows to display the delay in milliseconds, which is great, and has some tweaks on the tape delay algorithm which makes it sound even better.
This is such a great pedal and your demo is awesome. Would love to see your full take on the Space Force as well since it was hanging out there at the end.
Awesome demo, Stefan! The Alexander Rewind has so many great features, and it sounds incredible. And I especially dig the expressive performance possibilities you showed us, like morphing between two sounds. I just wish the Rewind had a more intuitive UI for spontaneous access while playing. Maybe in a format like the Strymon NightSky with more knobs and switches, making it possible to use it as an extension of your instrument… I do look forward to every next vid you come up with, Stefan. Love your genuine enthusiasm, your musical and tasteful approach, and your meticulous preparation which makes it possible for us to see each pedal at its best! Keep 'em coming!
Thank you for the incredibly kind comment. Honored you took time out of your day to post such sweet words. The Rewind is indeed a great sounding delay that packs a serious feature punch, but I do agree with you on the UI. It does lend itself more to preset based usage than live tweaking.
That's definitely a deep pedal as well. Used to own one a long time ago. Really fun. Happy you like Rewind. It's an impressive array of stellar sounds it contains.
24 minutes of delay bliss! Love the review and congrats on the store. Btw...I see that swan hunter lurking over your shoulder, would love to hear what you could do with that.
Thank you so much for the kind words about the demo and the store, Joe. Means a lot to me 🙏 Yeah, the Swan Hunter is really cool. It appears in my most recent Halloween Special, if you haven't watched that one yet.
Damn, as an owner of an LVX and more, and previous owner of many of what's considered the top shelf delay pedals on the market, this one really seems to be punching above its weight, both in terms of sounds and features. Impressive, and it's pretty much one third the price of the LVX...
Too me, it's hard to compare this with LVX. It's two different worlds and user experiences to me personally. LVX is all about customization from the ground up, whereas Rewind gives you some really nice tweakable pre-made delay algorithms But there's no doubt that this is an excellent multi-mode delay pedal that punches way above its weight. Happy you like the sounds. This one is definitely hard to beat at that price point.
I’ve bought this pedal three times… when connected with my other pedals I get this weird sine noise even when off, I know it’s something with my rig. I just bought it again for the third time because it really does sound so amazing, and I’m going to get to the bottom of this.
I got to say this is absolutely insane the amount of delay options and customization for a delay pedal ESPECIALLY for the price. I was thinking about getting an avalanche run, history lesson v3 or some other delays. Really want something with a good reverse delay, as well as something that can do tape delay craziness/lofi or to be able to run two delays separately and have control over each delay like endless sleeper (If only you could still buy endless sleeper :[ ) Man the pedal market is pack full with options these days its insane. I don't remember it being this saturated in 2016-17 which is both good and bad. Good that we have so many options but also makes it hard to make a decision!
Don’t know where you’re located, but I have Endless Sleeper in stock over at the TPZ shop. We currently only ship to the EU though. Happy you liked the demo. Rewind definitely packs a serious feature punch
@@thepedalzone Im in the US :( for whatever reason the endless sleeper specifically seems really hard to get compared to when the sun explodes. Didn't see any on reverb last I checked and on ebay its going for 450-500$. I did see one used on guitar centers used section going for 209$ and im pissed I didn't buy it right away. I sat on it for a few days looking at other delay pedals, sort of making up my mind and it ended up getting sold.
Have you ever considered making Videos with Walrus Audio Pedals? After years following your channel I just noticed that you haven't done one video with them and wondered why?
In theory, yes, but if that's the kind of effect you're looking for, then I would personally look for a pedal that's specifically designed to do that and excel at that. This is a delay pedal first and foremost. Hence the pitch-shifting isn't designed to be ultra-tight or natural sounding. It's there to give your trails a synthetic edge.

Just mono for now... stereo would require a lot of rethinking and resoldering my board lol. Future project
This is the best presentation of this pedal I've seen so far. You are really digging below the surface here!
I bought this pedal a month ago. Many lovely sounds in that small box. I've been waiting for this review to see how you use it so I can steal some ideas.
Hope there’s some nice takeaways for you in this demo. I definitely found a ton of inspiring sounds in this thing. Really a wonderful pedal

That glide thing you did is awesome
Thanks! This pedal contains a lot of cool features
dang, every video is always so good! love when they end with the feedback time manipulation too! always the best way to end a jam with tons of delay
Feedback frenzy is always the perfect sonic signature to end things with. Happy you liked the demo ❤
Just when I thought I had all of the delay pedals I could ever need. This thing sounds amazing.
If there's one thing I've learned throughout all of my years as a pedal enthusiast, it's that you'll never have enough delay pedals 😂 Happy you like this one. It's really cool. Packs a serious creative punch

Maybe the most freaking awesome delay I’ve ever heard! I thought it would cost more. What a deal! 😎🎸
It is really an impressive pedal. Happy you like it 😊
Amazing demo as always!! I sent this to my guitar player, hopefully he will look into it lol, hope you had a great weekend Stefen!
Thank you so much 🙏 Yeah, weekend was nice. Weekends are always nice 😊😂

the jam that starts at 3:30 has heavy Alcest vibes. great as always!
Thank you! I love that band so much!
wow it sounds great in such a small format.
Really happy you like it! It is indeed an impressive delay pedal.

@@thepedalzone Thanks for taking the time to answer, Stefan - keep on groovin'!
@@thepedalzone …and of course I also dig that that pedal is SSSSSSTereOOOOOO - thanks for doing part of the vid in stereo, Stefan.
Holy WOW. Reminds me of the Dr. Scientist Bitquest with how much it packs into a standard enclosure.
That's definitely a deep pedal as well. Used to own one a long time ago. Really fun. Happy you like Rewind. It's an impressive array of stellar sounds it contains.
When can we expect your demo of the tc infinite? Looking forward to that haha

Thank you so much!! ❤
Alexander makes great stuff… F15 flanger amazing I sold it but I regret it.
They sure do. Always found that Flanger intriguing. I'm all for flangers that try to be textural and different.

THANK YOU!
@@thepedalzone saving up some cash to get it from your shop :)
@@herrlogi - Deeply honored to hear that
Excellent demo as always! Here's a tough question for you 😄 If you had to pick one, would go with the Rewind or the Keeley Halo?
Happy you enjoyed the demo!
Don’t know if you ever played a Timeline, but if yes, how’s Rewind in that competition?
nailed!!!
Thanks!
Yeah that's pretty cool.
Happy you like it. I think it’s a super rad delay
I’ve bought this pedal three times… when connected with my other pedals I get this weird sine noise even when off, I know it’s something with my rig. I just bought it again for the third time because it really does sound so amazing, and I’m going to get to the bottom of this.
Have the Space Force reverb, and experienced similar issues with certain power supplies. These pedals need isolated clean power, 250 mA or more.
I got to say this is absolutely insane the amount of delay options and customization for a delay pedal ESPECIALLY for the price. I was thinking about getting an avalanche run, history lesson v3 or some other delays. Really want something with a good reverse delay, as well as something that can do tape delay craziness/lofi or to be able to run two delays separately and have control over each delay like endless sleeper (If only you could still buy endless sleeper :[ ) Man the pedal market is pack full with options these days its insane.

You are the only One.
You're too kind ❤
Any chance of a video on the Space Force?
Have you ever considered making Videos with Walrus Audio Pedals? After years following your channel I just noticed that you haven't done one video with them and wondered why?
I had the same question, the slötva sounds really good
Have you considered tabbing out what you play. I would become a Patreon subscriber 😊
So in effect, you can use it like a drop d pedal to play Cannibal Corpse songs?
In theory, yes, but if that's the kind of effect you're looking for, then I would personally look for a pedal that's specifically designed to do that and excel at that. This is a delay pedal first and foremost. Hence the pitch-shifting isn't designed to be ultra-tight or natural sounding. It's there to give your trails a synthetic edge.
is the input trs stereo?
Yes it is 😊👌
