Polyend Mess is a multi-effect with a step sequencer built in: 125 stereo effects, four effect tracks running at once and a 16-step grid that drives their parameters over time. It takes a guitar, a synth, a drum machine or any other line-level source.
An effect that does not sit still
A typical pedal gives you one setting for the whole song and only changes when your hand does. Mess sequences the parameters, so the reverb tightens on the chorus, the delay jumps in time and the slicer only lands on chosen steps. Instead of a static tone you get movement that saves into a preset and repeats on stage step for step.
Four tracks instead of a pedal chain
Four effects run simultaneously and each can carry its own sequence, so granular, filter, drive and reverb move independently. The library covers reverbs and delays, granular and glitch engines, shapers, drives and filters, pitch shifting, spectralizing, slicers and a microlooper. One knob handles one function, and with 150 factory presets plus room for a thousand of your own an entire set fits in memory.
