SECTION 3 - DESIGN CONCEPT
SECTION 4 - SIGNAL FLOW OVERVIEW
The seed of inspiration for the Polymoon lies in the ways that Holdsworth and Zappa would use and cascade the rack
delays of the 80’s. The Polymoon opens up those concepts by vastly increasing the ability to modulate and morph every single
parameter.
The signal flow of the Polymoon starts with parallel mix of a pair of Dynamic Flangers. The Dynamic Flangers feed the
Polymoon’s unique multi-tap modulated delay structure. Finally, the delay taps pass through a pair of Barberpole Phasers.
<-- Note: This configuration control provides four different
combinations of Trails and Glide. With Trails enabled, your
echoes will decay naturally when the pedal is bypassed. With
Glide enabled, your delay buffer is not cleared during a preset
change. Glide allows your echoes to remain in the algorithm as
you smoothly transition from one preset to the next.
Additionally, with Glide enabled, delay times entered with tap
tempo will smoothly transition.
