Alexander Colour Theory

The Alexander Colour Theory combines a versatile eight-step sequencer with a powerful effects processor, creating rhythmic combinations seldom heard outside of a rack of synths. It’s small but mighty, utilizing Alexander's Neo Series technology in a completely new way.

What is a Step Sequencer?

Imagine a drum machine that plays different sounds on each beat - kick, snare, kick, snare. Now replace those drum sounds with pedal settings, and you’re getting close.

The Colour Theory allows you to preset different values for its effects - each step of the sequence may be set to any values you like, so as the sequence plays the effect changes automatically. You can set the Colour Theory to play a series of tones in OSC mode, or to open and close a filter in FLT mode. The only limit is your own imagination.

Neo Series

The 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.

The 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 connect the Neo Footswitch to enable your choice of preset select, tap tempo, or start / stop the sequence in real time.

Presets

All 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.

To load a preset, hold the bypass footswitch down or send a MIDI program change from 0-15.

To 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.

Any 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!
