Overview
The Tensor pedal offers live reverse and tape stop effects, pitch shifting, time stretching, and hold functions, allowing for creative combinations during performances. You can slow down, speed up, and rewind audio in real time, stretch or compress time without altering pitch, and loop, overdub, or randomly slice phrases up to 9.4 seconds (4.7 seconds in stereo).
Intelligent randomization adapts to knob settings, producing effects ranging from occasional CD skips and stutters to rhythmic repeats, random slicing, and erratic pitch shifts. Both footswitches feature momentary and latching modes for injecting pitch jumps, glitches, or instant rewinds.
Housed in a pedalboard-friendly enclosure with all jacks on top, the Tensor™ provides immediate access to well-spaced controls for live tweaking and includes USB MIDI for recording and sequencing.
