The RD-1 Pitch Delay is a focused, musical digital delay with integrated pitch and frequency shifting. Based on our Raster, it’s designed for immediacy, hands-on control, and playful experimentation - without menus or modes.
Shift repeats once, or send them climbing or falling endlessly in the feedback loop. Dial in clean delays, subtly twisted textures, or more out-there sounds with ease. Delay time runs up to 1200 ms, doubled in reverse for extended, atmospheric effects.
RD-1 is built for real-time performance. The controls are spaced for live tweaking, with grippy rubber knobs, raised pointers, and carefully tuned tapers that make musical settings easy to find.
It uses the same core algorithms and high-quality components as our other pedals, distilled to the essentials for a straightforward, inspiring playing experience.
Coming soon. First batch is in production. Price TBA.
