SECTION 3 - DESIGN CONCEPT 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.
Page 7
SECTION 4B - DELAY LINE NETWORK IN DEPTH The Polymoon’s Delay Line network is structured as 6 delays each with their own output and modulation source. The Feedback Knob provides a global delay feedback for the whole delay network, with our custom Feedback Filter providing color to the repeats.

FILTER IS FLAT At the output of the delay line network, the Polymoon has two barberpole phasers one for each side of the stereo spec- trum. Each phaser is set to travel and regenerate in an opposing direction to create an wide stereo field. The top layer Phaser button allows you to select between a fixed speed of 0.1 Hz (Slow LED On), speed linked to a quarter note of the delay time (Sync...

“toe up” to the “toe down” settings of the expression pedal, just unplug the cable from the Polymoon at the EXP jack and then plug it back in. It’s a really useful shortcut so you don’t have to manually recreate your sound if all you want the expression pedal to change is just one parameter.

Tap Switch For the Polymoon, the external switch controls Tap Tempo and has all of the same functionality as the tap button on the main pedal, this includes half speed. As with the main tap switch, if you hold the externally connected tap switch, it will cause the delays to operate at half speed.

Depending on the EXP Jack modes you have chosen, the Polymoon will scan the top layer knobs and update the knobs on power up. If your Polymoon is set to either “Expression Pedal” or “Tap Switch” for its EXP mode, then it will scan the knobs at power up.
