Red Panda Particle 2: Way more than just a glitch machine

[@blueberry.soundscapes]

this is great! I wanted to find some Wlarus Fable competitors, not sure if it's one of it, but I love the demo!

[@DickieDemos]

Thank you! It's not as atmospheric as the Fable, but waaaay more versatile.

[@DickieDemos]

Oh, but don't overlook the Raster!

[@blueberry.soundscapes]

@@DickieDemos ahh it makes it even more difficult, I wish there is a video on that pedal on your channel

[@DickieDemos]

@@blueberry.soundscapes I am planning a Raster demo, but not just yet.

[@yccmo]

HAHAH AMAZING VIDEO. LOVE IT. GREAT STYLE

[@DickieDemos]

Thank you!

[@Shaqiliciouss]

this is the kinda pedal that fucks up bird migration patterns by discombombulating magnetic fields

[@DickieDemos]

... which is always useful to have.

[@jeremiahbayani184]

I dig the sound of the third setting!

[@DickieDemos]

That's my favourite.

[@irappaport7373]

Would you mind sharing the settings?

[@712Jefferson]

Great humor. Well done!

[@DickieDemos]

Thank you! But why does nobody compliment me on my ferocious shredding chops...?

[@softersounds1222]

Woah. How did you get that chorus sound?

[@DickieDemos]

Well… chorus is basically just a very short delay, right? Pitch mode; blend and chop at noon, delay and feedback at minimum; then you start with parameter at minimum and turn it up very slowly until it starts to modulate.

[@softersounds1222]

@@DickieDemos Awesome, thank you! I got the Particle 6 months ago purely for the amazing reverse delay on my synths. Just picked up a guitar, a Boss IR-2, and a Habit (arriving this afternoon) so I'll dive into the modulation possibilities today!

[@farticusmaximusOG]

Should I get this or the Raster V2 for sound design?

[@DickieDemos]

Depends what sort of sounds you want to design! I don't have the Raster - it's high on my shopping list - but it looks to be more versatile as a 'normal' delay AND does proper stereo effects. The Particle might be better if you want glitchy unpredictability.

@@DickieDemos you're doing a great job. it was just one small suggestion. thanks for answering 🙂

[@DerpRulesAll]

when your pedal costs more than your guitar.....😂

$330 USD? lol. I do like the few novelty gimmicky glitchy sounds it generates...but for that price, no f'n way. But kudos to the circuit-bender who created this overpriced experiment that nobody would use for longer than a week(before throwing it in their closet and forgetting about it). A $50 pricetag would have been more tempting. But $330? I'm dying laughing.

[@DickieDemos]

Well, it's cheaper than a Chase Bliss Habit! 😁 I understand your point and suspect a lot of guitarists will agree, but the Particle 2 is a staple of my live board and I'd hate to be without it. So as long as there are enough freaks like me out there...

[@dstroviolin]

@@DickieDemosI have a Pladask Elektrisk Fabrikat, a granular synthesis pedal that is similar to this one. What I first thought was a “stunt” pedal is anything but-on my board it’s an always-on delay that adds a really nice quality to the sound. I got it a few years ago on Reverb for $375 and it was, honestly, a bargain. There are endless possibilities to the soundscapes I can create with the Fabrikat in conjunction with my other pedals. The Fabrikat is complex but understanding it has been worth the effort. I’m sure the Particle yields similar rewards.

[@DickieDemos]

@@dstroviolin Oh, I really like the look of the Fabrikat. A tough purchase to justify when I already have a Particle, but I'm sure I'll convince myself eventually.

[@dstroviolin]

@@DickieDemos I’m considering the reverse-buying a Particle to backup, be an alternative to, the Fabrikat. The Fab has a very minor input jack issue so it’ll eventually need to go to the shop for a bit and I want to keep recording, keep rolling. Even the best pedals develop goofy little problems (switch, jack) after years of use.

Yo. Experimental musician and guitarist here: this pedal is extremely useful and versatile and prob one of the top 5 most fun pedals I've used
