Delay with a difference! This aptly named pedal will put your sound into several exotic orbits at once and open up new soundworlds
Unlike the first Meris stoboxers, the Ottobit Jr and the Mercury7, both based on 500 series studio rack modules designed by the company, their newest addition, the Polymoon, seems to have started life purely as a pedal, having no equivalent module.
Described as a super-modulated multiple tap delay, the inspiration behind it came from sounds created by cascading the rack delays that were prevalent in the 1980s, particularly in the way that Allan Holdsworth and Frank Zappa used those units. The Polymoon takes that further with its ability to modulate and morph every single parameter. With various options for stereo or mono use, the signal path starts with a pair of dynamic flangers in parallel feeding the multi-tap modulated delay before hitting a pair of barberpole phasers. The delay section features six lines, each with its own modulation source (LFO) and plenty of options for modulation.
