Here's what Vongon say about the Polyphrase

Polyphrase is a stereo echo and looping device inspired by early proto-digital delays of the 1970ʼs like the Lexicon Prime Time. As sophisticated as it is easy-to-use, Polyphrase is capable of everything from rich, dubby rhythmic repeats, to metallic resonant flanges. It is unique in being able to generate loops as long as 22 seconds, opening up a new palette of sonic possibilities for the avant-garde, ambient, or adventurous musician.

Polyphrase features two independent sliders for left and right delay times that can be locked into an infinite feedback loop which will produce an ever-changing sample of audio as each channel overlaps with another. This makes Polyphrase a tool for exploration capable of achieving the same kind of harmonic oscillation found on Steve Reichʼs seminal tape piece “Piano Phase”.

The time knob interacts with the left and right faders by providing nine different maximum delay times starting at 85 milliseconds, and doubling in value as the parameter is increased up to 22 seconds. Each
new delay section is cross faded into the signal path, an important design consideration that avoids any pitch shifting artefacts and is useful for creating new and unexpected musical phrases when used with high
repeat settings.

Three echo styles are available, and each style configures its own dedicated routing for the delay feedback path. “Dual stereo” provides two independent echoes, and they can either be stacked in mono, or
routed out of each stereo channel. In “ping pong” mode, each delay feeds back into the other, creating either a classic stereo ping pong sound (with each repeat bouncing between the le and right channel), or a
multi-tap delay effect (when used in mono). The last mode is a mono delay – it routes the feedback path to the IN R, OUT R jacks so that you can use external effects in the echoʼs feedback path.

The tone control is a bipolar equalizer (EQ) situated in the feedback path of the echo. At 12 o'clock, the EQ has no effect on the audio. Turning the knob clockwise cuts low end – making each repeat brighter than
the previous. Turning the tone knob in the counter clockwise direction cuts high frequencies – it creates darker repeats, which makes Polyphrase capable of achieving similar timbre to the storied analogue,
bucket-brigade delays.

The echo signal can be pitch modulated with the rate and depth controls for a sine wave style chorus / vibrato, or with a random wave for detuning effects similar to aging tape echoes. Finally, Polyphrase has a fully featured midi input that provides tempo sync, full remote control of all parameters on the faceplate, and access to 9 onboard user preset slots.

Echo — An echo pedal, also known as a delay pedal, is a type of guitar effects pedal used to create repetitions or echoes of the original guitar signal. Echo pedals are popular for adding depth, ambiance, and rhythmic patterns to guitar tones, and they are widely used across various music genres, from rock and blues to ambient and experimental. Here are the key features and functions of an echo pedal: 1. **Delay Time**: This control adjusts the amount of time between the original signal and the delayed signal. Longer delay times result in more pronounced echoes, while shorter delay times produce tighter, slapback-style effects. 2. **Feedback (or Regeneration)**: The feedback control determines the number of repeats or echoes produced by the delay pedal. Increasing the feedback setting results in multiple repeats, creating a cascading effect of echoes. Careful adjustment of the feedback control allows you to dial in the desired amount of repetition without overwhelming the original signal. 3. **Mix (or Blend)**: The mix control adjusts the balance between the original (dry) signal and the delayed (wet) signal. Higher mix settings emphasize the delayed signal, while lower mix settings maintain the clarity and integrity of the original signal. This control allows you to blend the delayed signal with the dry signal to achieve the desired balance and level of effect. 4. **Tap Tempo**: Some delay pedals feature a tap tempo function that allows you to set the delay time by tapping a button in rhythm with the music. This feature is particularly useful for synchronizing the delay effect with the tempo of a song or performance. 5. **Modulation**: Many delay pedals include modulation controls that add modulation effects, such as chorus or vibrato, to the delayed signal. Modulation can add warmth, depth, and movement to the delay effect, creating a more immersive and dynamic sound. Echo pedals offer several creative uses and applications for guitarists: – **Spatial Effects**: By adjusting the delay time, feedback, and mix controls, echo pedals can create spacious, atmospheric effects that simulate the sound of a room, hall, or cavern. These effects add depth and dimension to guitar tones, creating a sense of space and ambience. – **Rhythmic Patterns**: By syncing the delay time with the tempo of a song using tap tempo or preset rhythmic subdivisions, echo pedals can produce rhythmic patterns and textures that enhance the groove and feel of a performance. – **Texture and Movement**: By introducing modulation effects to the delayed signal, echo pedals can add texture, movement, and character to guitar tones. Modulated delays create swirling, shimmering effects that enrich the sound and captivate the listener’s ear. Overall, echo pedals are versatile tools that offer a wide range of creative possibilities for guitarists. Whether used subtly to add depth and ambience or used more prominently to create rhythmic patterns and textures, echo pedals can enhance your guitar tone and inspire new musical ideas..

Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. Stereo — A stereo pedal or setup splits your guitar signal into two separate outputs, allowing you to create a wide, spacious sound when run into two amps or channels. Effects like chorus, delay, and reverb sound especially lush in stereo, as the modulation or repeats can bounce between left and right channels for a three-dimensional feel. It’s a popular choice for players who want to fill a room or studio mix with depth and movement that a single amp simply can’t produce. Using stereo pedals opens up creative options for layering tones and building immersive soundscapes. You can pan effects across the stereo field, send clean and effected signals to different amps, or combine analogue and digital textures for a rich, dynamic sound. Whether you’re crafting ambient washes or creating a massive live presence, a stereo setup delivers clarity, separation, and a sense of space that transforms your overall tone..
