Alexander Pedals Now We Are Ghosts

Alexander Pedals Now We Are Ghosts is a special stereo reverb which started as an attempt to create a synthesizer out of a reverb.

The device is a small metal box, humming faintly, remembering songs it can’t quite play. when activated, it releases long uneven tones that pass between distortion and clarity. Its voice floats on air, hollow and fragile. Exhaling into the void, its heartbeat replaced by an echo.

The pedal has all the familiar filter, envelope generators, low-frequency oscillators, and voltage-controlled amplifiers. Then replace the voltage-controlled oscillators with the reverb voice. The result is Now We Are Ghosts. It’s a complex exploration of sonic space with lots of unique opportunities for creative mayhem.

The art is by the incredibly talented Conrad Keely. The pedal has lots of knobs and switches to facilitate real-time control, which helps this pedal feel really immediate and fun. The pedal is powered by a standard 9 volts power supply (not included).
