While Vongon is still a young company early in their journey, they are already known for taking inspiration from hard-to-find vintage studio outboard gear and turning them into original and creative effects that are pedalboard friendly. The Polyphrase is their take on a stereo echo and looping device. Taking inspiration from the legendary Lexicon Prime Time, this delay pedal features delay times up to 22 seconds. Featuring three delay modes, independent sliders for delay time manipulation, an effects loop to insert other pedals into the mono delay mode, Tap Tempo, and MIDI implementation, the Polyphrase is packed with deep functionality that is perfect for the adventurous musician. Polyphrase has a fully featured midi input that provides tempo sync, full remote control of all parameters on the faceplate, and access to 9 onboard user preset slots. In addition, a Tone control is present which is a Bipolar tilt style EQ that is situated in the feedback path of the echo. Turning the tone control clockwise cuts low end and brightens the repeats, while counter-clockwise darkens the delays into squishy BBD-esq territory. Whether you are looking for a highly flexible digital delay or are an avant-garde player looking for a deep looping delay, the Polyphrase fits the bill with excellence in its beautiful walnut enclosure.
