Music, like memories, has the power to transport us to different times and places. It has the ability to evoke emotions buried deep within us, and awaken long-forgotten memories… <\/p>\n\n

It’s in this evocative spirit that AC Noises presents its latest creation: the Ricorda pedal.<\/strong> The result of a collaboration between AC Noises and Andrea Degli Esposti of BunkerNoise, this effects pedal is the very first stereo reverb<\/a> in the current AC Noises catalog.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Ricorda has been developed around an incredibly powerful DSP, often used in the modular synthesizer industry <\/strong>rather than effects pedals. It offers a multitude of parameters for sculpting and shaping the reverberant space.<\/strong> From controlling the density and size of grains to modulating their feedback and stereo distribution, <\/strong>the possibilities for sonic exploration are virtually infinite. <\/p>\n\n

Each adjustment allows the reverberant environment to evolve, revealing new dimensions and sonic possibilities, thanks in particular to the freeze\/loop function and the secondary “hidden” mode.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Ricorda pedal pushes the boundaries of granular synthesis, popular in digital delay circuits, <\/strong>by applying it to the realm of ambient reverberation. Granular synthesis consists of a digital memory that more or less randomly rearranges parts of a sample,<\/strong> and that’s exactly what the Ricorda’s looper does. It creates impressionistic textures from the incoming signal and immerses them in ambient reverberation. <\/p>\n\n

The Ricorda can also act as a classic reverb thanks to the usual Mix, Decay, Size and Tone knobs<\/strong>, but the real fun begins when you start experimenting with the Size knob, which can be oriented forwards or backwards, or with the Freeze footswitch, which locks the reverb, prolonging it until you release it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Freeze button also acts as a looper, allowing you to add an extra layer of affected signal to your soundscapes.<\/p>\n\n

All in all, the Ricorda pedal offers an immersive, modern reverb, ideal for guitarists seeking new textures and creative dimensions for their sound. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n
