It’s perfect for experimental guitarists, electronic musicians, and anyone wanting to build complex, evolving textures and rhythms.

Frequently Asked Questions
While most effects are compatible, some might have parameter limitations within the sequencer due to the design's flexibility – check Polyend's documentation for specifics.
Yes, you can chain up to four effects simultaneously in a traditional multi-effects configuration, bypassing the sequencing functionality entirely.
