A Deep Dive Into the Red Panda Context 2 | Secret Weapons Demo & Review

How much reverb do you need? How much more do you want out of your reverb than you are currently getting?
The Red Panda Context Version 1 was a high watermark of the mono reverb world upon it's release but the Context 2 rests on no laurels here. Red Panda have taken those lush, digital reverb soundscapes and brought them into a new era with new reverb modes, a two band EQ, a parallel digital delay across all modes and flexible, adaptive dynamic controls. Did I mention it has a tremolo? And that the tremolo, delay, and pre delay can all be midi clocked? To separate subdivisions? For all of this, the Context 2 remains a shockingly accessible reverb with a very gentle learning curve. So let's dig into the Context 2.
