TOADWORKS REDUX
ToadWorks Redux is a new guitar effect pedal takes the concept of delay in a whole new direction - two directions, actually. Redux is an asyncronous delay, providing a combination of single, phased and multi-tap delays all in one very small package. Redux has been tested and used with a wide range of amplifiers, including tube, solid state and hybrid, and the results are always the same. If regular old delay is leaving your tone flat, Redux will make it fly.
Once...
At it's heart, Redux is a single stream digital delay effect. Delay time, Decay, and effect Level are are adjustable via the big shiny knobs. We've designed Redux for a fixed rate of signal degredation, to better enulate an analog delay, but unlike analog delays, Redux offers more than 500 ms of delay, and nearly infinite repeats.
Twice...
Along side the primary delay path is a second, parallel delay path. Identical in every way, this second delay path can be switched on and off. But what's the point, you ask? This secondary delay signal can be time-offset either forward or backward, up to 100 ms! Go from slight phase shift to ping-pong delay effect with one quick turn of a knob.
Three times, a Delay... (sorry, we couldn't help it)
As with all ToadWorks pedals Redux is wired for true-bypass, but even when its on, it won't suck your tone! The clean (unaffected) path is crystal clear, with perfect unity gain. What goes in is exactly what comes out; If you want color, get some Crayons.
Redux is hand wired, by people, not machines. From our high quality 3PDT switches to the custom made machined aluminum knobs, every component is the finest available, making ToadWorks pedals the most well-built and reliable effect pedals in the world.

I use the Redux with my main rig. If you want pristine, sterile digital delay you should forget about the Redux. Ditto that if you want multi-second delays or even a simple slapback delay with no repeats. So, what is the Redux good for? For starters, it excels at producing warm, murky echoes reminiscent of what you'd get from a good tape echo unit. I've searched for a long time for this sound, trying out a lot of different analog delays, digital emulators and even a few real tape echo units both modern and vintage. The Redux fills the space around your own notes without competing rhythmically. It's subtle yet very effective; it's the kind of effect that you don't notice until you turn it off. The really brilliant thing about the (defeatable) offset delay is that it's out-of-phase. This is not your usual "two-head" delay; the out-of-phase connection gives you everything from subtle phasing effects to oddly-spaced repeats. Another cool thing about the Redux is that twisting the delay and offset knobs gives you a pitch-shifting effect instead of the ugly zipper effect that you get from so many digital delays.

True bypass makes this pedal virtually noiseless when engaged or disengaged. Very warm analog repeats. The offset feature is worth the price alone. You can get a slight phase effect all the way to a random ping pong delay with a turn of the offset knob.
