Red Panda Radius - The Most Musical Ring Mod EVER!

[@thepedalzone]

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)

0:36 is one of those wonderful moments when someone uses a pedal I designed in a way I never imagined.

[@thepedalzone]

Absolutely floored and honored by this. Thank you for the magical inspiration machine. Your pedals always take me places I never expected ❤

[@Tryptamine1020]

This is the demo this pedal needed

[@thepedalzone]

Really sweet of you to say ❤️ Had a lot of fun exploring this thing. And I’m sure I’ve only shown 1/1000 of what it’s capable of

[@m.a.bushling]

I think that every time Mr. Fast posts! So many other pedal demos fail to really deliver the spirit of the pedal.

[@thepedalzone]

@@m.a.bushling Awwww! Thank you 🥰

[@robertpavey5615]

This is the need this pedal demoed.

[@fruitiusmaximus925]

Red Panda has such a special ability to take highly technical and esoteric effects concepts, and turn them into a very user-friendly interface that unlocks their musical potential.

[@thepedalzone]

I think that's one of the best descriptions I've seen of Red Panda as a brand. I 100% agree! All of their pedals are so inviting to use and so fun to explore.

[@paulchateauneuf3478]

Tuning and adjustable Pitch tracking on a ring mod makes it so appealing, beyond the special effects. So much potential. Great demo

[@thepedalzone]

Yup, all of those intelligent features really take this pedal to the next ring mod level :) And thank you for the kind words abut the demo. I really appreciate it!

[@thecruddybug4437]

I've wanted this thing since it was announced. I love ring mod and this makes ring mod even better. Great video!

[@thepedalzone]

Definitely sounds like this pedal is for you. Hope you get one really soon. And thanks for the kind words about the video. Appreciate it! ❤

[@NohFyuchur]

That was so …just…yummilicious lol….just got mine and holy smokes you brought the sounds…inspiring..and that synth bit at the end…perfection

[@thepedalzone]

Deeply humbled by your kindness. THANK YOU! ❤

[@NohFyuchur]

@@thepedalzone i appreciate that you add the synth love in your pedal demos , quite often a pedal winds up paired with synths for quite awhile,..because it’s just so brilliant

[@andrewwild9281]

Your enthusiasm makes me love every pedal! 🎉

[@thepedalzone]

Awwwwww. Thank you ❤

[@robertpavey5615]

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.

[@AmedeoS]

I've been watching your videos for a few years now, just wanted to say thank you! You really dig into every small detail of the pedal you're demoing and all of your videos turn out to be very inspirational. I've been eyeing the radius since it came out and never thought it was capable of doing these kind of things you did in the video. Great job!

[@thepedalzone]

Gosh! Deeply honored by your sweet words. Thank your for the long time support. Means the world to me ❤

[@dasgre0g]

Fantastic review. Extremely comprehensive and covers so much in such a short amount of time. Thank you

[@thepedalzone]

Means so much to me. Thank you!

[@nenostevens5176]

Thanks for all the great videos and inspirational sonic explorations. Your guitar playing is just as good as your sonic textures. Appreciate you Stefan.

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you! What a heartwarming and kind comment. Made my day ❤

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

It's an inspiring effect pedal. Really cool sounds. Thank you for another great video. 😊

[@thepedalzone]

Happy you enjoyed the video. It really is a special pedal.

[@justinchampion5468]

What a cool pedal. I love watching your vids no matter the pedal(s) you're messing with, and sometimes leave the vids on in the background because I love the vibes.

[@thepedalzone]

Awww, man. Super kind words right there. Thank you so much!

[@SuddenSoundStudios]

Some amazing tones here. Best demo I've seen for this pedal. I'm convinced!

[@thepedalzone]

Gosh! Thank you very very much!

Oh boy! THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️

[@templeboards]

THANK YOU for making a musical demo of this incredible pedal. 😜👍

[@thepedalzone]

My pleasure, gang! Really happy you enjoyed the demo 🙏

[@MaTTheWish]

Wow, you easily made a ring mod pedal sound fantastic. Thats a difficult feat. Great musician! You are the best.

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you so much! This one definitely transcends the realm of normal Ring Mods, and there's a ton of musical sounds in it. And the fact that Red Panda included note tracking, makes it so much easier to get musical results out of a Ring Mod :)

[@MaTTheWish]

@@thepedalzone awesome! I just bought a Tensor this week, I saw you do a video on your all time favorites and the Tensor was on that list. Tensor is amazing, I want the rastor next. And I'm sure the radius is awesome. I really appreciate your demos. Excellent music. Would love to hear your music compiled on an album some day. Peace.

[@dbl2051]

Nice one, Stefan, sounds amazing. Synth jam at the end reminded me a bit of the Celeste soundtrack, very cool.

[@thepedalzone]

Cheers, man! Really kind of you. Don't think I've heard the Celeste soundtrack, so will definitely have to give that a listen. Thanks for the recommendation :)

[@glennmichaelthompson4112]

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]

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]

@@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. 🎼🎸

[@minuano08]

They make great stuff.

[@thepedalzone]

Red Panda only makes top quality gear. I’m super impressed by all of their pedals

[@baraksmash]

4:17 That is such an inspirational riff

[@thepedalzone]

Thanks, man! Really sweet of you to say. It's a fun one to play 😊

[@minuano08]

Totally agree. Have the 'Raster & Particle' . And be adding more Keep up the great work. Following for several years. B4 ur 1st NAMM visit. Viewing from S. Florida. 🌴😎🎸🎶🤟

[@thepedalzone]

Thanks for the long serving support. I really appreciate it ❤ You can't go wrong with Red Panda and Raster and Particle are just true sonic gems. Looking forward to hearing which one you'll be picking up next.

The Radius is an awesome sound design tool.. Im discovering new soundscapes every time I use it..

[@thepedalzone]

100% agree! This is gonna be a great studio tool for me. So many deeply emotional textures in this thing

[@patrickr6505]

@@thepedalzone Definitely..and I'm informed it will get a stereo sounding effect spread update in the future .. awesome.🤘

[@thepedalzone]

@@patrickr6505 That's great news! Love how Red Panda keep adding new features to their pedals with each firmware update.

[@regaudieguillaume]

Wow! The synth section was some new, innovative stuff, at least for me! I use the ring mod on the GFI Synesthesia for a great tremolo also. You can hear weird flanging or phasing between the pulses :)

[@thepedalzone]

Very cool to hear that the synth section gave you some new inspiration :) And yes, the tremolo-like tones you can conjure from a Ring Mod are really special.

[@RandomRotation]

Super interesting. I'll give it a try soon.

[@thepedalzone]

Interesting is a good word to describe this pedal. Definitely takes your imagination to other places than the usual 😊

[@RandomRotation]

@@thepedalzone Exactly what I need :)

[@steffengotsch]

I just bought the moog mf-102, this takes what moog did to another level! Especially for synth bass. Might have to grab this pedal too. -From one Steffen to another

[@thepedalzone]

I'm sure the mf-102 and Radius would complement each other nicely :)

[@jash500]

I could start a band just for using pedal. Unbelievable. 💫

[@thepedalzone]

Would love to hear that band!

[@astrogarage]

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]

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..🤯

[@thepedalzone]

Thanks for the kind words about the demo. I'm sure your RR would play nice together with Radius ;) Radius also has expression and Midi control for every parameter on the pedal.

[@EthanRMus]

Great video

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you so much!

[@Platinum_Jim]

first pedal that ever made me consider replacing the moogerfooger - sounds phenomenal

[@patrickr6505]

It's amazing..The Modulation takes it to a whole different level..

[@thepedalzone]

Happy to hear you're enjoying the sounds. I'm sure that Radius and your Moog will give you the best of both Ring Mod worlds :)

6:00 was in response to my clock chime challenge on FB, wasn't it?

[@thepedalzone]

Ha! I really wish I could say yes to that, but I'm sadly not that smart and thorough :)

[@jane_coldthrone]

Great demo for a fantastic pedal ! Radius caught my eye since its release was announced. I've been waiting for a highly tweakable, versatile stereo ring mod in a pedal format for almost 10 years or so ... Red Panda never disappoints ♥ neither do you, Stefan 🙌 Cheers

[@thepedalzone]

Red Panda always deliver the goods. Definitely the coolest and most unique ring mod pedal I've ever played. And thanks for the kind words about the demo. Really appreciate it!

[@c0unterac342]

9:25 bro cooked up some Terraria style music and thought we wouldn't notice ... That's awesome 😂 I wish I could fit this pedal on my board but I might have to wait and save up for it and aux it into my studio board so I can use it as an external plugin (an oxymoron but I can't think of the right term) that I can use on any track in a mix at any point. Definitely don't have room on my live performance guitar board but I could probably get some cool use on keys with it

[@chronic_johnson_a.r.a.b]

I've been using ring mod plug-ins in my DAW, and if this thing also masquerades as a phaser and tremolo, I might just sell my Phase 90 and Boss Tremolo in favour of this.

[@thepedalzone]

Sounds like a solid plan 🤘

[@patrickr6505]

Good move.. Radius is very deep..it's Red Panda..

[@thechronicnoizeco.6675]

That needs to be your end credits music from now on.

[@thepedalzone]

Haha! Dystopian doom bells ending forever!

[@laurenceblackadder3103]

Wow this means I can ditch 2 pedals my BugCrusher & Gorjira Effects tremolo for RD Radius. I had the BitMap but I sold it this looks way better. Running my HX Stomp through will be amazing as well.

[@Knaus84]

WHAT A PEDAL!!! How low does it track pitch? I could easily piture using this on a 6 string bass in drop A amongst other tings! What a pedal! Great video!

[@thepedalzone]

Happy you like the pedal and demo. Means a lot! Don't know how low it can track. Only used the tracking on guitar so far. I recommend you try and ask Red Panda about that. They should have the answers :)

[@andrejsr798]

Is this DADgad tuning? I love your riffs!

[@thepedalzone]

Indeed it is. I enjoyed your emphasis on the DAD part, because I am very much one :D Thanks for the kinds words about my riffs. Means a lot to me!

Best ring mod pedal. Still hate how ring mod sounds. I wouldn't buy a synth that sounded like that for 50 bucks.

[@kurth6595]

RING MOD!!!

[@thepedalzone]

It is indeed a Ring Mod! 😊

[@popcycles]

Will it take microphone signals directly?

[@thepedalzone]

Sure, you can send a Microphone through it, but you would need an XLR to Jack converter cable

[@jonathanaren1]

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]

Thank you very much! Regarding apps, I made a video on that subject a couple of years ago. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inKkm2OIa7ljlbssi=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

[@brad6919]

What guitar are you playing in this video?

[@thepedalzone]

It's a Baum Wingman :)

[@phladjki]

Just gotta say - radius is cool, buuuut the Fairfield Circuitry Randy’s Revenge is actually the most musical ring mod ever 🧐

[@thepedalzone]

If that's the pedal that inspires you, then of course it's the most musical. Happy you're enjoying Randy's Revenge. Fairfield always makes good stuff.

[@shadow__dancer]

this sounds more like a regular mod pedal, not a ring mod.

[@patrickr6505]

It can go total chaotic ring mod in lots of different ways.. Stefan mostly highlighted it's more subtle and Phaser/Tremolo effects...

[@thepedalzone]

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 :)
