Stereo echo effect with infinite feedback loop POLYPHRASE is a stereo echo and looping device inspired by early proto-digital delays of the 1970’s like the Lexicon Prime Time. As sophisticated as it is easy-to-use, Polyphrase is capable of everything from rich, dubby rhythmic repeats, to metallic resonant flanges. It is unique in being ab

Vongon Polyphrase
As tends to be the case with Vongon, the Polyphrase is a twist on some familiar themes. It’s a stereo dual delay. The two delays can be synched or unsynched to create unexpected polyrhythmic patterns. Delay can also be frozen as a loop. The max time is 22 seconds! So plenty of spacetime to work with. There is a ping pong mode to work back and forth across the stereo field. And uniquely, there’s an effects loop so you can throw another feet into your delay path for sky’s-the-limit wildness. A great pedal with a lot of flexibility. One small drawback: the tap tempo can’t be adjusted when in infinite (looping) mode. I’d love to see Vongon address that in V2.

Groundbreaking
Truly a feat in tech, the polyphrase is incredible at performing long delays that goes into looping. The modulation can go from gentle to transformative through some really creative waveforms of vibrato.
