Tensor - Time Warp
By Red Panda
A live reverse, tape-stop, pitch-shift, and time-stretch pedal that continuously analyzes your playing to choose splice points, letting you slow down, speed up, rewind, and loop phrases up to 9.4 seconds.
About this pedal
Tensor gives you real-time reverse and tape-stop effects, pitch shifting (-2 to +2 octaves in fixed intervals), time stretching up to 4:1, and hold/loop functions that can be combined on the fly. It’s always listening, so you can instantly rewind what you just played or seamlessly cross between forward and reverse, and it constantly analyzes phrase, note, and waveform-level content to pick musical splice points. Intelligent randomization can add anything from occasional glitches to erratic pitch jumps, and overdub/replace/dual-buffer loop modes extend it into looping territory. Stereo I/O, USB MIDI, and a web-based editor included.
