Thanks to you I decided to get this pedal. The calm little chord progression you play at 2:08 left me in awe. I absolutely love it. It's hard to wrap your head around all the features of polymoon, but it's simply amazing. Thank you!
Great demo. And this pedal seems incredible. I can't believe how clean and usable the delay sounds are, even at seemingly extreme settings. It seems to stay completely musical and not devolve into smeared chaos. Even when it smears it sounds good. Looks like magic!
Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed it. It's one of the few videos I made that I can go back and listen to a bunch :) You're right, it does stay musical, that's why I love it. It's not just a bunch of noise and weirdness all the time.
@@michaelcraig9449 I own one, it's super versatile and expressive. People like it with synth rigs because it takes guitar and line level inputs, it's output is stereo, unlike many guitar pedals which are only mono.
I dont know man... but the first few minutes of this song made my heart tense and brought tears to my eyes... i just dont know- thank you for these sounds...
M C Damn.... thank you so much. That really means a lot. I’m really happy you enjoy the music, I write it for each of my videos. This one is epically nice though, I gotta agree. Thanks, this made my day 😀
Oh nice! Yea you can do a lot of cool stuff, especially with the Polymoon. What kind of EXP did you go with? I’ve got a Moog one and it’s been solid for a long time.
I got mine friday and love it. Def takes a lot of knob turning on the alt settings to get the tones you want. Especially the time knob modulation functions.
This pedal is Amazing. What isn't amazing is the advertisement for sugar free mountain dew that i just saw featuring "gizmo" from gremlins. As nostalgic as you might feel, sugar free products typically contain aspartame, which can lead to hormone imbalances, cancer, heart problems, obesity and death. Mountain dew is also very acidic and eats the enamel on your teeth faster than any other so called "soft drink"- which is really just water and high fructose corn syrup, which we should all know causes diabetes and obesity. Now I'm off to buy this pedal.
That's what I'm thinking... I have a new dream synth on it's way to me (Buchla Music Easel) and am trying to find the perfect pedal to pair it with. This Polymoon seems a contender!
Great demo sounds wonderful nice choice of guitar chords, so nice to hear clear sounds very fresh and invigorating.l think l have found my dream pedals at last.
I own 4 Meris pedals. The manuals identify what every button, knob and switch is/does but they don't "explain" shizz my dude, lol. My Meris pedals are some of the most compelling and frustrating pieces of kit I own. I can't even get their damn preset switcher to work correctly. While playing with Meris pedals some of the most killer, uber-clean, crazy cool sounds will just fall into your hands... then slip through your fingers just as easily.
@@aBunchOfPedals Yeah, I get along best with the Polymoon I think. I'm watching a bunch of demos like yours of all the Meris stuff, trying to see if I get re-inspired to keep playing them or re-committed to selling them. The Ottobit is cool too. Simply using it with an EXP pedal just to blend in the "stutter" function it's great but it could also be my best tremolo if it weren't for all the little pops, clicks and digital artifacts it makes when I (finally, after a bunch or arbitrary combinations of knob positions that seem to change every time) dial in a tremolo sound. Even on my Mercury7, the "alt" button doesn't seem to work right. It switches the entire sound that's dialed in to something else entirely instead of just enabling the altertnate functions of the knobs the way it works on my other Meris pedals. I'm also not crazy for it's "swell" function and something feels not right to me there too. Maybe it's all user error. Idk. Oh yeah... lol. I can never get my Enzo to do pure mono synth tones, even in kill dry mode. I seem to have HELLA latency between picking the string and the sound coming out. All I can get out of it is delay, arpeggiated sequences and like, "trailing/ following" modulation that floats behind the dry guitar signal. But straight up, fat, old school synth tones. Can't get um. Ahh... that felt good to get that all out. Thanks A.B.O.P.!
NXZW Oh you have no idea! When I show up with my cat skin lute for practice, the band goes wild. We play mostly punk, anxiety-core and weasel country.... but with this bad boy.... let me tell you. I’ve been able to drown out the baby crying in our band and hit peak life metal levels. Bless your heart.
So awesome to see your demo go up! I haven't been able to stop playing with mine long enough to make a demo yet. Yours is awesome and sounds killer. Awesome job and riffs.
MakingMadBeats I guess it just depends if you like the physical aspect of having a pedal with real knobs. But there’s so much you can do with a computer and a midi controller. Still an awesome pedal with a lot of different sounds.
@@aBunchOfPedals theyre the main band that comes to mind when thinking post rock. and they always have a bunch of delay and reverb just like your vid demonstrated.
One of the best product demos I've ever seen. Clear, concise, and entertaining...Robots, Man! lol That was awesome :). What are the chances you will release a VST plug in version??? ;)
Thanks dude! Freakin robots are all over the place these days. I don;t work for the company so I really couldn't answer your question about a plugin but that would be awesome.
Thanks man! I was really proud of that chord progression and the piezo pickup is one of the most beautiful guitar tones I've heard. Throw some stereo "delay" on there and it really is pretty :)
Great demo dude, what a crazy pedal. Also, is that first riff original or a TWDY riff? It sounds super familiar, but honestly what doesn't when you go down the post-rock rabbit hole.
Thanks! I wrote meris and they explained that it doesn't work like that but i can use an expression pedal to get something similar, in case anyone else is interested!
Thanks, glad you liked it :) I too like the crazy noises. What do you mean by control? It's not like the Echosystem where you can tap in your own rhythms.
aBunchOfPedals thanks! Good info, I hoped it would be possible to tap in a kind of rhythm for the repeats. Read the online manual but honestly didn't understand much :) It's a great pedal and I think I'll get one anyway
Brilliant demo. Recently sold my Nemesis and bought the incredible Ventris. Now wondering... Polymoon or Empress Echosystem!? I like the accessibility of this, but l prefer easy preset storage. Oh well. 😀
I’m just guessing.... but maybe with a mapped EXP controller? Like set it to control both, never did it to get honest. I’d check out the manual and see how to map controls to an EXP and try to do it that way. Like I said though, just a guess. You can also email Meris and ask! Sorry I dont have an exact answer for ya.
LoftOfTheUniverse I guess it all depends on what kind of music you’re making or the type of sounds you want. I tried to showcase a lot of the normal or “pretty” delay sounds with the filter. So yea, i definitely think it’s usable for more than just some weird noises. I know what you mean though, by “oh that’s the ABC pedal sound”. You can easily use this for straight up stereo ping pong delay.... and right around some stuff that almost sounds more like a reverb. Anyways, I’ve had a lot of delays and this is easily in the top 3. I wish the ALT functions were labeled though, that would be nice.
Yea, at it's most basic setting, it's pretty much a digital delay until you start messing with the settings. If you roll back the filter a little it doesn't sound as digital.
Beautiful. I know its been a while, but do you recall the guitar used in this video? Especially for the Phaser and ALT functions, 2:07 to 4:00 mark? Thanks
Christopher Daniel Shoot, this was before I started listing my gear in the description. There’s a good chance it was my PRS Hollowbody II (spruce). Yea listening to it again, I probably had the piezo pickup on as well.
Check out manual I forget but there’s also a CZcams vid on hard resets I have to use it a lot. This thing gets absolutely insane and that’s literally my only complaint….. it’s tooooo much and not knowing what your two settings are exactly because it’s stacked is a bummer. But not enough of a bummer to EVER not want this pedal. The boring delay alone in stereo is mind blowing
Stop making those videos, they give me G.A.S. everytime I watch one. Oh and btw, any chance you are related to 2DBOY? Your style and mood are resonating to no end.
@@aBunchOfPedals 2DBOY create videogames like "world of goo" or "little inferno", their artwork just rang a bell. storytelling like czcams.com/video/jn_AbUg6KF8/video.html or soundscapes like czcams.com/video/OBQAd4PbF5Y/video.html, it just felt like you could be on their team. Maybe you should :). Oh and my shopping list is growing, thanks for creating all those vids, I might have ended up just getting a few standard Boss pedals or other well knowns. Now I´ve discovered boutique stuff which gives me way more choices and often seems a better match for my needs (synths and lots of tweaking). Only got rack FX so far and had no idea what I was missing.
Im torn between this or the echosystem. What do you guys recommend and why. I want to apply it into a heavymetal context and use the OBNE Darkstar and Neunaber immerse.
Andrie Bayuajie I guess if you set the delay fast enough. I’m probably not the best person to ask because I mainly use the Polymoon for atmospheric type stuff.
mtb and chill What I usually do is set the tempo before I record my loops. I play the loop with the pedal (after the looper of course) and it helps keep everything in time better :)
Right on. Your demo totally sold me. Now I am debating whether I need to get a Mercury 7 as well - I already use an Afterneath and a Mr. Black Bloodmoon. Thoughts?
AlasPoorJordan Well, the M7 is an awesome pedal, no doubt but it seems like you have your reverb covered. So yes and no... you definitely don’t need it but it’s pretty damn fun to have around.
Oh man, there's a lot of differences. Here's what I can think of off the top of my head... there's probably more. The ES can do custom repeats (you tap in whatever rhythm you want, not just the tempo ), the ES has dedicated stereo inputs (the Poly has a single TRS, not a big deal), the Poly can do more "pad" type sounds that are really dreamy, the ES has more presets and sounds, the ES also has a cab simulator. Honestly, you should go look at both manuals and you'll see there's a lot of differences. That being said, both are awesome and I'm looking at them right now.
To compliment the Polymoon or the Echosystem? Either one could do with a fine reverb pedal. Delay/reverb is my favorite combo. Some nice reverbs are the Meris Mercury 7, Homesnoise Black Lodge, Empress Reverb, QuietTheory Prelude, EQD Avalanche Run, Ezhi Terverb.... these are all pretty pricey though. The EQD Afterneath is cool too and it's not super expensive.
It’s not the dude demoing it...it’s the pedal...the guy who made the pedal should have just made an album...but he obviously hasn’t found his song...so he makes a pedal that makes vague trippy atmosphere...for myself at least...creativity on a personal level, is totally limited by such a pedal....it’s not easy to make the personal music...and something like this can fool a lot of people...and it’s surely pleasing to hear...unless one needs to express the personal...ya know what I mean,,,,music comes first,,,,then effects come to maybe enhance that...and the relationship grows from the music first....I only replied to you ..cos I saw your question...and I thought...you were giving the guitar string picker way to much credit..for what the pedal does by algorithm design....it’s all the machine...and very little human...other than the designing of the machine...keep well ...keep on....
Got mine. Now I need to lock myself into my music room for a week to explore what this pedal can do!
I don't blame you dude.
Oh my god, that part with the Volca Sample is the dopest thing ever.
Andrew Small hahaha thanks. The volca sample is awesome for how small and cheap it is!
Thanks to you I decided to get this pedal. The calm little chord progression you play at 2:08 left me in awe. I absolutely love it. It's hard to wrap your head around all the features of polymoon, but it's simply amazing. Thank you!
roberts lanka That’s awesome to hear dude! I’m glad you liked it :)
Agreed what are you playing there
This is one of the best pedal demos Ive ever watched, and watched and watched. Knobs has competition. And thank you for recording it in stereo.
Thanks man! I'm glad you like it. It's one of my favorites for sure. Such a cool pedal with so many possibilities.
What a wonderful demo ! Such a pure sound, feels like heaven with some headphones !
Thanks! Yea it's cool to see more and more stereo pedals come out.
Great demo. And this pedal seems incredible. I can't believe how clean and usable the delay sounds are, even at seemingly extreme settings. It seems to stay completely musical and not devolve into smeared chaos. Even when it smears it sounds good. Looks like magic!
Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed it. It's one of the few videos I made that I can go back and listen to a bunch :) You're right, it does stay musical, that's why I love it. It's not just a bunch of noise and weirdness all the time.
Holy shit... this one is something really special
Yea man, it's crazy. A lot more than what I was expecting.
Yeah, u know they really hit a home run with the different sound scapes. Hopefully, in the near future they produce a 3 switch with an LCD visual.
Yea, that would be awesome if the switch had LED lights. Maybe the final version will... or maybe it's not that hard to mod one.
This is awesome. Totally awesome... The demo, the pedal itself... Sheer brilliance.
Thanks :)
Omg the volca sample demo was the coolest thing. Very well done as per usual.
Thanks! The Volca Sample is so fun to play around with.
Why I won't buy anymore synths, just pedals. Thanks for showing it with the Minilogue and Volca.
Hell yea man, it's awesome on synth!
Why whats the difference or the reason and the advantages either way? Tell us more about it, just want to learn some.
@@michaelcraig9449 I own one, it's super versatile and expressive. People like it with synth rigs because it takes guitar and line level inputs, it's output is stereo, unlike many guitar pedals which are only mono.
I came to the same conclusion recently. Small synth + good fx = expensive sound.
That was amazing with the Volca ! Need 2 jobs.

M C Damn.... thank you so much. That really means a lot. I’m really happy you enjoy the music, I write it for each of my videos. This one is epically nice though, I gotta agree. Thanks, this made my day 😀
Three very different pedals with the same control layout... wise for manufacturing.
I'm still wrapping my head around my Ottobit Jr... Terrific demo!
Yea, like Chase Bliss!
Yeah, Chase likes their knobs... I'm more of a switch guy... I like my Ethos Clean!
This does make me think of Chase Bliss. They've packed so much into a pedal that on the surface looks pretty simple, but is actually very deep.
Yea, this pedal can be as simple or as complicated as you want. It's cool how each knob has an alternate function. one of my favorites :)
I honestly never thought pedals would be this cool when I first started playing guitar... It's awesome.
Nice demo, well done! Makes me wish I played guitar. This company has a terrific sense of MUSIC, of sound. Enjoy everyone!
It's never too late to start dude :)
The first pedal that made me seriously consider getting an expression pedal. So damn cool. Thanks for this demo 🙏
Oh nice! Yea you can do a lot of cool stuff, especially with the Polymoon. What kind of EXP did you go with? I’ve got a Moog one and it’s been solid for a long time.

Yea I hear ya, presets are a must for this thing. It's easy to get lost in the knob turning.
Ooooh, post-rock jazz fusion in a box! 😍
Ooooh, and more, and MIDI... now I'm fucked, I don't have space for this on my board. 😢 *cries*

the way I googled this to buy it and i then saw the price....I wanna cry now
wutheringheights01 check out reverb and maybe you can snag a used one.

quick question if you wanted to turn the alt function of a knob up but also turn the normal function all the way up how would u do it
I’m just guessing.... but maybe with a mapped EXP controller? Like set it to control both, never did it to get honest. I’d check out the manual and see how to map controls to an EXP and try to do it that way. Like I said though, just a guess. You can also email Meris and ask! Sorry I dont have an exact answer for ya.
My question is, are the unique sounds etc. Appliable or is it chaotic and people can just say " oh that's that polymoon sound"

How did you sink up the drum machine and the Poly?
The CV out from the Volca into the exp port on the Polymoon

How do you record this audio? Your page inspired me to want to make demos for pedals. Thanks!
Will Brown Hit me up on Instagram I’m more than happy to talk about my set up
So you used two amps to record this and therefore stereo? :) Sorry, i'm such a beginner when it comes to this.
You could totally use two amps but I used two inputs on my interface to record the stereo stuff. No need to apologize... gotta ask questions!
Ah ok, I think I understand. Thanks for the answer, sounds great.
Thanks. It's easier than recording two amps.
Can polymoon do a good slapback?
Andrie Bayuajie I guess if you set the delay fast enough. I’m probably not the best person to ask because I mainly use the Polymoon for atmospheric type stuff.
where do they sell this pedal in the US
check out their website
😮
It syncs to the Korg cv out?
I don't think so... then again, I didn't try.
Can you tell wich preamp and soundcard is used please?
I use an Apogee Duet interface.
Nice Vid - how did you get the timing so perfect?
mtb and chill Not sure what you mean. The regular delay times were just tapped in.
@@aBunchOfPedals so you just used the tap tempo feature. I can never get it as tight as you did.
mtb and chill What I usually do is set the tempo before I record my loops. I play the loop with the pedal (after the looper of course) and it helps keep everything in time better :)
Would you call this a Top 5 delay pedal?
AlasPoorJordan Most definitely. It does so much more than delay.
Right on. Your demo totally sold me. Now I am debating whether I need to get a Mercury 7 as well - I already use an Afterneath and a Mr. Black Bloodmoon. Thoughts?
AlasPoorJordan Well, the M7 is an awesome pedal, no doubt but it seems like you have your reverb covered. So yes and no... you definitely don’t need it but it’s pretty damn fun to have around.
aBunchOfPedals Thank you for the reply! I ordered the Polymoon yesterday and I think I'll stick with what I have for now 😊
Seriously thinking about selling my timeline for this.
Gonkosan Roberto Oh man, that’s a big move. I had a timeline but I sold it when the echosystem came out. Good luck on your delay journey!
If you have the eco empress does this sound anything diff?
Oh man, there's a lot of differences. Here's what I can think of off the top of my head... there's probably more. The ES can do custom repeats (you tap in whatever rhythm you want, not just the tempo ), the ES has dedicated stereo inputs (the Poly has a single TRS, not a big deal), the Poly can do more "pad" type sounds that are really dreamy, the ES has more presets and sounds, the ES also has a cab simulator. Honestly, you should go look at both manuals and you'll see there's a lot of differences. That being said, both are awesome and I'm looking at them right now.
Thank you so much will do
Anything you can recomd to compliment it.
To compliment the Polymoon or the Echosystem? Either one could do with a fine reverb pedal. Delay/reverb is my favorite combo. Some nice reverbs are the Meris Mercury 7, Homesnoise Black Lodge, Empress Reverb, QuietTheory Prelude, EQD Avalanche Run, Ezhi Terverb.... these are all pretty pricey though. The EQD Afterneath is cool too and it's not super expensive.

Holy crap, I’m selling my El Cap for this.... wow
sirTimithius Reviews & Products It’s a good one! Lots of crazy noise in this box :)
How did that work out ? A yr later i still have my cap. Guess this is my next
price
Witchcraft!
Maybe... What of it?!
How much is this dude?
It’s not the dude demoing it...it’s the pedal...the guy who made the pedal should have just made an album...but he obviously hasn’t found his song...so he makes a pedal that makes vague trippy atmosphere...for myself at least...creativity on a personal level, is totally limited by such a pedal....it’s not easy to make the personal music...and something like this can fool a lot of people...and it’s surely pleasing to hear...unless one needs to express the personal...ya know what I mean,,,,music comes first,,,,then effects come to maybe enhance that...and the relationship grows from the music first....I only replied to you ..cos I saw your question...and I thought...you were giving the guitar string picker way to much credit..for what the pedal does by algorithm design....it’s all the machine...and very little human...other than the designing of the machine...keep well ...keep on....
It generally retails for about just fucking google it dollars approximately.
2:10 :)
Echorec who?
улет
FUCK ANY DELAY THAT DOESNT HAVE INSTANT AVAILABLE PRESETS
**Insert 1/4" joke here**
So much pedals... Fuck me.
Who would downvote this video and fucking why?
