A redesign aimed at pushing granular processing further
Particle 2 belongs to the family of modern effects that repurpose the delay concept: instead of simply repeating your signal, the pedal re-synthesizes it into small slices (the "grains"), then rearranges and transforms them. The result: you get both "shifted" delay sounds and effects of radical pitch, organic modulation, airy shimmer, or controlled glitch.
This version 2 is a complete circuit overhaul, focused on sound quality and usability. The delay time now extends up to 2.5 seconds (instead of 900 ms previously) with a higher sampling rate, and ergonomics have significantly improved for stage use: smaller enclosure, top-mounted connectors, state memory (active preset and bypass), and extended parameter access via MIDI.
Who it's for and in which styles the Particle 2 makes a difference
The Particle 2 is aimed at musicians looking to move beyond traditional delay: guitarists, bassists, keyboardists, or sound designers in the studio. It suits both intermediate level players (to explore immediately inspiring textures) and advanced users (to program precise behaviors via presets, expression, and MIDI).
Stylistically, it excels in ambient, post-rock, shoegaze, electro, indie, film music, and any aesthetics seeking soundscapes and expressive transitions. Live, it becomes a formidable tool to fill space, create interludes, or trigger perfectly tempo-locked freeze and stutter moments.

Questions frequently asked
What delay and pitch modes are available?
The 5 delay modes (random, density, LFO, random pitch, and reverse) combine with the 3 pitch modes (detune, density, and LFO). The pitch shift covers a range of plus or minus 1 octave.
What is the maximum delay time and what kind of sound textures can be achieved?
The delay time ranges from 0 to 2.5 seconds. The grain size and density affect the texture, from fragmented attacks to stretched pads. An adjustable low-pass filter in the feedback loop allows darkening the repeats.
Does the footswitch control tap tempo and freeze?
The footswitch handles Tap Tempo and a momentary Freeze, while the auto-freeze has an adjustable threshold.
Is the Red Panda Particle 2 controllable via MIDI or an expression pedal?
The expression input can be assigned to any combination of settings to modify multiple parameters simultaneously. USB MIDI provides access to additional parameters and preset management.
Is this pedal suitable for bass, keyboards, and ambient music?
Designed for electric guitarists, bassists, keyboardists, and sound designers, it mainly targets ambient, post-rock, shoegaze, and electronic music. The reverse and random pitch modes allow creating glitch or shimmer textures.
