The Polyend Mess is a seriously innovative multi-effects pedal – a sequencer and effects processor in one.

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.
It utilizes a 3.5mm TRS connection (MIDI Type B), so you'll likely need a converter if your gear uses standard 5-pin MIDI DIN, which is a potential extra expense.
