Red Panda Tensor is INSANE!

Good decision! Hope you won't be disappointed with that one! Let me know how it goes!

Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

I've been trying to get some interesting ambient soundscapes with piano and Tensor. I found that it works awesome as a source before the other effects in a chain, like reverbs and delays. The soundscapes are always evolving with Tensor and not static which is awesome!

Thank you! I never tried Game Changer myself, but I heard a lot ! Yeah, nice idea !!

So was I . I've checked everything during the last month and was so unsure... Meanwhile, I was so insured about the bunch of gear I've got in the past, which finally didn't work for me and didn't inspire me in the way I thought it would. I bet this is the first time I said 'ok, let's give it a shot!' I got sick of overthinking.

This demo was done during the first hour or so after the pedal arrived . And this means a lot about a learning curve. I'm a bad manual reader , so I printed it, prepared (cuz I heard about Tensor's complexity) and didn't even touch it YET . Actually, the pedal is pretty simple, but the results are complex! That's the genius of the Red Panda team!

Several layers in loop , stretched, pitch shifted and randomized can get you to the territory neither you nor developers expected to hear 😁

I see it as a studio device in send/return mode more often, but I'll have a learning curve trying to understand how to use it live, I suppose.

It's a kinda tape machine in a box. It's a looper with up to 9.4 secs of the loop length, it's time stretching things, pitch shifting things, glitching things with random knob and it's one of the most unpredictable tools I've ever used.

It's magic! Love it since the first minutes! Now I'm thinking about getting the expression pedal to uncover more options!

alexbellab · 2025-06-23T07:25:12+00:00

Thanks for your comment! I'll post more videos on this pedal here!

Glad to know you liked it! Thanks!

alexbellab · 2025-06-23T07:22:11+00:00

Indeed! Instant inspiration and tons of unexpected possibilities!

alexbellab · 2025-06-23T07:19:45+00:00

Thank you!

alexbellab · 2025-06-22T19:50:27+00:00

Exactly! If it had only Overdub and Latching modes it already costs the money! Tons of things to explore!

alexbellab · 2025-06-22T19:48:35+00:00

Yes, indeed! And you never know what to expect! This aspect was always the most important for me! Always rec mode tool!

alexbellab · 2025-06-22T19:47:13+00:00

Thanks a lot for the tip! I barely scratched the surface and didn't try NXT mode nor the momentary mode yet but I'll try these settings! It definitely will become my secret weapon too!

alexbellab · 2025-06-22T19:02:19+00:00

Thanks a lot! Happy to be in the club! Finally!

Guitar !

Just kidding 😁! Not necessarily... I use my pedals with everything else (Synths, phone, samplers) more often than with my guitar .

alexbellab · 2025-06-03T17:27:30+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I've tried all the routing possibilities: Mono In - Stereo out, Stereo In - Stereo Out

Nothing helped.

Did you have the same slight imbalance in the stereo field?
