Alexander Pedals Super Radical Delay Manual

The Super Radical Delay is our homage to the greatest decade ever: the 1980s.
We've packed it with cool features, but we also know that you don't have time to dive
into menus on stage while you're trying to play. To that end, we've tried to make it as
friendly as possible to operate. We want you to focus on making music, not messing
around with some computer!

GETTING STARTED
Using the Super Radical is easy - Power the pedal using your favorite power supply, 9V
with standard center-negative polarity. Plug in your guitar and amp. Tap the
Engage footswitch to turn the pedal on, then twist some knobs! Want to set the delay
time to match the beat of the song you're playing? Tap the
more times. Want to get gnarly? Turn the
sound? Tap the Select / Shift button until you get something you like.
The Oblivion is full of cool technology but it operates just like any analog pedal, so get
in there and explore. Once you find a sound you like, just hold down the
footswitch to store your settings to the currently selected preset, as indicated by the
B / C LEDs on the left side of the pedal.

The Super Radical Delay takes everything we
love about the 80s and pumps up the volume.
It's like ALF, Peter Venkman and Undead Mi-
chael Jackson hijacked the A-Team Van for an
Excellent Adventure with Iceman Val Kilmer
— all to a soundtrack of Bon Jovi and that
song from Dirty Dancing. Strap in. It's about
to get bodacious.

DELAY EFFECTS
The Super Radical Delay has one basic effect: a crystal-clear 920 millisecond delay. But
just having one effect is boring and very un-'80s. To that end, we've added four differ-
ent effects that you can apply to the delay tone. If you turn the Time knob all the way
down and the Mix knob all the way up, you can even apply these effects to your straight
guitar tone.
Mod — Super-clean digital delay with adjustable modulation. Range and Rate control
an adjustable pitch modulation, for chorus or vibrato textures.
Glitch — Pristine digital delay that you can mangle in unusual and interesting ways.
Range and Rate control the amount of bit-crushing and aliasing. Try it with modulation
off for the classic Radical effect, or use the new Rate function to morph your signal
between glassy and mangled in real-time.
Bend — Delay with pitch shifting that's based on the earliest technology and spirals up
or down with each repeat. Range and Rate control the pitch shift interval, the classic
Radical effects are obtained with modulation disabled. Use the Offset control to choose
INPUT
the pitch shift range for interesting bending harmonies!
Flow — Adds a liquid effect, courtesy of our digital four-pole resonant filter. Range
and Rate control the filter sweep, try tweaking the Offset control to choose the starting
point of the filter sweep.
PRESETS
We know you've got a lot to do on stage. We get it. In order to minimize the amount of
time you spend tweaking, we've equipped the Super Radical with an incredibly smart
32-bit control processor to go along with its advanced 24-bit audio DSP.
The big upshot of all that technology is that we can save and recall literally everything
on the pedal in a few milliseconds! That means you can access five of your favorite
settings in the middle of your set or even in the same song, just by holding the Bypass
/ Preset button. Want more presets? Add any MIDI controller that can send Program
Change messages (most can!) and you've now got up to 128 presets available.
Loading presets is really simple - just hold the Bypass / Preset button to load the next
available preset, as indicated by the
got a MIDI controller, just send a Program Change message on the Super Radical's MIDI
channel as determined in the Global Settings. Note that if you load a preset higher than
4, the A / B / C
Saving presets is easy, too - first, make sure you're in the preset location where you'd like
to save. You can either load a preset on the Super Radical itself or send a MIDI Program
Change message. Next, turn the knobs on the pedal to get the sound you want. Finally,
