Alexander Syntax Error video game FX pedal

Description

Create your very own arcade soundtrack using guitar, bass, keys, or whatever!

Running the gamut from familiar territory like distortion to the 32-bit tones of a bit crusher to a MIDI-capable tool of experimental chaos, the Alexander Pedals Syntax Error turns your rig into a '90s computer system. Designed to summon the sounds of throwback video games with an entire realm of experimental possibilities, the Syntax Error offers four onboard presets plus 12 MIDI-accessible presets to offer sounds from a glitchy modem to a time-stretched final boss battle. A pedal that needs to be heard to be believed.

The sonic scientists at Alexander Pedals have been working overtime to cram the most pedal into the smallest box, and we now present the Neo Series!
Each Neo Series pedal incorporates an advanced 32-bit microcontroller adding presets, expression, and MIDI capability. CONTROLS: Sample (Bonus): Adjusts the sampling rate of the audio computer system. Sampling rate is minimum / most degradation with this knob clockwise.

Hold the select button and turn this knob to set the Bonus parameter, which controls a different function in each mode. Code: Controls a different parameter in each mode.
In Stretch mode, this knob controls the sample clock direction and speed. In Cube mode, this controls the gain of the distortion. And in Ring mode, it adjusts the speed of the modulation sample-and-hold. Mix (Volume): Controls the amount of effected signal.

Turn fully clockwise to "kill" the dry signal. Hold the select button and turn this knob to set the Volume of both wet and dry signals.

Tweak: Controls a different parameter in each mode. In Stretch mode, this knob controls the length of the sample buffer. In Cube mode, this controls the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter. In Ring mode, this sets the depth of the sample and hold filter modulation.
