The Alexander Pedals Forget Me Not is the first pedal in a while released by the North Carolina-based brand that doesn’t feature LED display, which is one of the reasons why it’s presented as a “departure” of sorts. It’s a versatile multi-tap, tape-style stereo delay with features for both ambient textures and rhythmic delays, offering four delay taps with individual level controls, adjustable delay times (5ms-900ms), and other unique settings.
Based on an undisclosed rare rack delay, the Forget Me Not is a digital delay that emulates the artifacts of tape echo machines, offering other intriguing controls such as:
- Degrade: controls echo fidelity (clean, gritty, trashy)
- Spread: widens the stereo field
- Spacing: adjusts the distance between delay taps
It also includes familiar controls:
- Blend/Swell: wet/dry mix and feedback
- Tone: signal color adjustment
- Modulation: depth, rate, and wave controls for adding the effect reminiscent of the tape’s wow and flutter effect
- Div: adjusts delay subdivisions based on tempo
- Trails: sets delay behavior when bypassed (fade, cut, or continue)
- Momentary Feedback Swell by holding the Tap footswitch
This pedal provides a wide range of sounds with user-friendly controls, all housed in an attractive design.
Notwithstanding the lack of a LED screen, the pedal still allows for 4 instant presets, WYSIWYG / live mode, and 32 total presets via MIDI.
