Ring Modulation is definitely the road less travelled for a lot of musicians out there, me included, and I do have to admit that my first minutes with Radius did leave me scratching my head. But after some time, it became abundantly clear that this pedal is a true treasure-trove for all sound designers out there. Modern modulations, dystopian bells and the sounds of robot armies awakening from their digital slumber, Radius does it all.

It's always a good day when it's new Red Panda pedal day. Radius is hands down the most fun and musical Ring Modulator I've ever played, I can't wait to hear what you think about the wild sounds I unearthed from this thing. Hope you enjoy the demo as much as I did making it. And if you find yourself falling in love with this pedal and Red Panda in general, then remember you can get your hands on one over at thepedalzone.com/radius/ (EU Only)

I have a Particle V2 and like that pedal (and all other Red Panda pedals along with a number of other brands, i suppose), this pedal seems to have a very unique, modern sound at it's core, but you can always turn the dials and reveal the more typical effects associated with the electric guitar (chorus, tremolo, flanger, phaser etc). I think that the "multi-tool" aspect to these pedals is one of the great selling points.

I've always liked ring modulators since I first tried one in the late 70's. Red Panda has really improved this effect by miles. I want one!!! But the price here in Canada is over $500... I may have to look at the alternatives out there. Seems many ring mods are showing up on the market lately. Thanks for the excellent demo.
@thepedalzone 3 ай бұрын
This is definitely the most comprehensive and versatile ring mod I've tried in my life time, so if it's these kind of features and sounds you're looking for, then it's probably just best to save up for this one. Red Panda does command a fairly high price compared to other stuff, but it's totally worth it. Red Panda pedals are some of the best engineered pedals out there. Really happy you liked the demo so much. And cool to hear you've been into Ring Mods for such a long time :)
@glennmichaelthompson4112 3 ай бұрын
@@thepedalzone I agree... it's probably worth waiting until I can afford a Red Panda. Buying gear has changed a lot. It used to be try before you buy; but with online sales it has become buy before you try. I'd like to compare Red Panda's Radius next to Warm Audio's Ringerbringer in person. Of course videos like yours do help a lot. It's still not quite the same. Thanks again for doing such a thorough job looking at gear. 🎼🎸

An excellent and thoughtful demo as ever, so thankyou Stefan. This feels similar in concept to the SubDecay Vitruvian, which also had a tracking function, though the Radius sounds much sweeter. The Vitruvian had this soft attack which I couldn't get on with. I have to say I'm tempted by the Radius but for now I'm going to stick with very analogue Randy's Revenge. CV control of frequency and a very nice filter, plus it does the lushest trem either. Mind you, the trem on the Radius sounded great. I'm cracking already. Must resist....
@patrickr6505 4 ай бұрын
The Modulation on the Radius is astounding...It brings it into the stratosphere ..The step sequencer is great..plus it can be changed to smooth transitions as well as stepped too..And those X modulations that Stefan didn't even touch on.. glorious endless glissando sweeps..🤯

Definitely don't have room on my live performance guitar board but I could probably get some cool use on keys with it

awesome as ever! occasionally when you use your iphone to generate sounds, what apps are you using? Seems liked Hynotised has been offline for a while now! Thanks, Stefan!
@thepedalzone 4 ай бұрын
Thank you very much! Regarding apps, I made a video on that subject a couple of years ago. You can watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqdxnZODm7qUj40.htmlsi=BbSrIoIIQezyKVpg A lot of those apps might be discontinued though, as you mention with Hypnotised. I still have them installed on my phone though, so I can still use them. But the closest thing to Hypnotized for iPhone is "Bloom: 10 Worlds". And the closest thing to Hypnotized on Android is called "Skales". Other than that, I use some different synth apps. Moog make some great ones. Their Animoog app is really fun and different. Synth One is a cool synth app as well, and it's free, if I remember correctly. Hope this helps

Well, ring mods are capable of really good modulation sounds. Not just robotic disintegration. And this one in particular holds an incredible musical potential due to all the things I highlighted in the video. So I decided for that to be my main focus for the demo. But trust me. It definitely spews circuits if that's what you want it to do, which I also shortly show and allude to throughout the demo :)
