The \u003cstrong\u003eAlexander F-13 Neo Flanger\u003c\/strong\u003e is their take on space junk stolen from Area 51 and put into the service of rock 'n' roll.  Equal parts science, art, weapon and instrument, the F-13 Neo generates interplanetary flange never heard in this galaxy or any other.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAlexander have decided to give the fantastic F-13 Flanger the full Neo treatment, and that means new features!  The F-13 Neo adds additional controls in all modes, more patterns in Step mode, and the all-new Echo Flanger effect.  Top it off with presets, expression, ramp morph and you've got a mean green flanging machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eNeo Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe sonic scientists at Alexander Pedals have been working overtime to cram the most pedal into the smallest box, and now present the Neo Series!  Each Neo Series pedal incorporates an advanced 32-bit microcontroller adding presets, expression, and MIDI capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Neo Series pedals are small but mighty!  Imagine having a single pedal on your board that can access up to 4 separate preset tones with a touch of your toe.  Connect an expression pedal to \"morph\" between two distinct settings for each preset for dynamic real-time effects.  Or hook up a simple footswitch to trigger a timed \"ramp\" between those expression settings.  Expressive performance technology, right at your feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003ePresets\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll Neo Series pedals feature a simple yet powerful preset functionality.  Hold the bypass footswitch to move the pedal to the next available preset, and the pedal will reconfigure itself on the fly.  All knob values and the effect mode settings are recalled, allowing you to set up to four unique tones.  Want more presets?  Simply connect a MIDI controller to the EXP port on the side of the Neo Series pedal and access up to 16 presets total.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTo load a preset, hold the bypass footswitch down or send a MIDI program change from 0-15.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTo save a preset, hold the Select button down and then hold the bypass footswitch.  The pedal will save the current settings to the current preset.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAny changes you make to the pedal settings will be lost when switching to a new preset unless you save the current preset first, so be careful!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eExpression and MIDI\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe EXP port on the left side of the pedal can function as an expression pedal, foot switch input, or a MIDI input.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eExpression Pedal:  Set the expression pedal to the heel down position, then adjust the knobs to your preferred setting.  Sweep the pedal to the toe position and set the knobs to a different setting.  Now the F-13 Neo will allow you to seamlessly morph between the two settings!\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFoot Switch:  Connect a momentary foot switch to the port with a standard patch cable.  Set the knobs like you want, then tap the foot switch and set them again.  Every time you tap the knob the F-13 Neo will sweep between your two knob settings at the speed you set in the configuration mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMIDI:  The Neo Series pedals can connect to a compatible MIDI controller to control all of the pedal functions plus access 12 extra presets, for a total of 16.  The USB port may also be used as a MIDI interface to your computer or mobile device.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eControls:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eControls in parentheses () are accessed by holding down the Select button and turning the indicated knob.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRate:  Controls the rate of the low-frequency oscillator (LFO) for the flanger, from glacial to space invaders.  Controls the input sensitivity in Dyna mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e(ALT1):  Controls the sweep offset (manual) in Auto mode, the pattern select in Step mode, the envelope speed in Dyna mode, or the delay time in Echo mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDepth:  Controls the maximum LFO sweep in Auto, Step, and Echo modes. In Dynamic mode, this controls whether the flanger sweeps down (less than noon) or up (greater than noon) based on the input signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e(ALT2): Controls the delay repeats in Echo mode\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMix:  Controls the blend between the dry and flanged signal.  Equal mix is at 12 o'clock.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e(Level):  Controls the overall output level of the pedal, from -20 dB to +10 dB.  Unity gain is near 1 o'clock.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRegen:  Adjusts the amount of flanged signal fed back into the modulation.  Zero feedback is at noon, clockwise increases the positive feedback for a standard flanger sound.  Twist this knob counter-clockwise for negative feedback and a unique \"inside out\" flange.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eBypass Switching\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-13 Neo features a buffered bypass using a soft-touch footswitch.  The dry signal path is digital, to maintain the precise time and phase alignment necessary for ultimate flanging.  The bypass signal is 100% analog.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTo configure, power on while holding the center Select button and release when the program LEDs start to flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTap the Select button to choose Expression (upper LED green,) Foot Switch (upper LED orange,) or MIDI (upper LED red.)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the Mix knob to select the Foot Switch Ramp speed - Lower LED green slow, lower LED orange medium, lower LED red fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the Tweak knob to set the main LED brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIf you wish to assign the F-13 Neo's MIDI channel, simply send a program change message from your controller on the correct channel while the pedal is in configuration mode.  Hold the Select button to save the pedal settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-13 Neo MIDI port requires the use of either a MIDI converter box such as the Disaster Area \/ Chase Bliss MIDIBox or a MIDI controller that supports 1\/4\" devices such as the Disaster Area Gen3 series.  The F-13 Neo defaults to using MIDI Channel 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-13 Neo requires a 9V DC power supply with a 2.1mm pin, center negative, 80mA.  The F-13 Neo is not designed to be powered on supplies higher than 9V and does not use a battery.  The F-13 Neo should work fine on a multi-pedal \"daisy chain\" connector, but if you encounter excessive noise or hum try a separate power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450195243111,"sku":"95099","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/alexander-f-13-neo_95099_1_dd5d7f0f-6fed-4859-9438-e9af4ae1ebde.jpg?v=1787092076","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/alexander-f-13-neo-flanger","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
