A very tidy boxed example of the Red Panda Particle 2 Granular Delay and Pitch Shifter Pedal.
Absolutely bonkers. Red Panda love a pedal that cuts up your guitar tone in unusual ways - the Particle 2 is the best example in the range. This takes everything from one to 10 in an instant but can also be used in an extremely beautiful, musical setting.
At its core, the Particle 2 is a pitch shifter and delay, with eight wildly different voices to choose from as the base of your sound. From there, it’s up to you how much the pedal stutters, chops and changes, freezes, glides, distorts and melts away at your fingers. You can then save up to four characteristics to recall at the tap of a button.
It’s just one of those pedals you have to hear to believe.

Here's what Red Panda say about the Particle 2:
Particle is a granular delay / pitch shifting pedal. It chops your signal into small grains and then rearranges, shifts, and mangles it, using the techniques of granular synthesis in real time. Results range from radical pitch and delay modulation to shimmering repeats to time stretching, stutter, and glitch sounds.
