June 11, 2024 · 2 sources
Alexander Pedals released the Forget Me Not, a digital four-head tape-style delay and reverb, in June 2024. Delicious Audio reported the launch on June 11, 2024, and Guitar Pedal X followed on June 14, 2024.
The pedal is a digital delay that emulates the artifacts of tape echo machines, based on an undisclosed rare rack delay1. It offers four delay taps with individual level controls and delay times from 5ms to 900ms1. Guitar Pedal X describes it as "a really smart extended range 4-head 900ms Delay, which can also deliver Reverb sounds"2.
Controls include Time, Swell, Blend, Tone, Rate and Depth, plus tape head level controls for heads A, B, C and D2. Switches cover tap divisions (8th, dotted, quarter), spacing, stereo spread, degrade, waveform (random, square, sine) and trails2. Delicious Audio lists Degrade as controlling echo fidelity (clean, gritty, trashy), Spread as widening the stereo field, and Spacing as adjusting the distance between delay taps1. Modulation has depth, rate and wave controls for an effect reminiscent of tape wow and flutter1. Holding the Tap footswitch gives a momentary feedback swell12.
The pedal stores four instant presets, with 32 total presets via MIDI12. Guitar Pedal X reports full MIDI support over TRS or USB, and a MultiJack for expression pedal, tap tempo or MIDI input2. It takes mono or stereo input via TRS with input summing, and offers mono or stereo output via TRS or dual TS2. Guitar Pedal X gives input impedance as 1M ohms and output impedance as 560 ohms, and specifies an isolated 9V DC power supply at 250mA or greater2. Dimensions are 5.72 by 4.7 by 1.6 inches (145 by 120 by 42mm), not including knobs2.
The Forget Me Not is priced at $399 and is available exclusively from Alexander's dealer network2.
"No menus or secondary controls - everything is accessible from the face of the pedal"
Delicious Audio notes the pedal is the first in a while from the North Carolina-based brand without an LED display, which it says is one reason the pedal is presented as a departure1.
