Polyend Mess Multi-effect Step Sequencer

Shape. Sequence. Shift.

MESS is a pedal that opens up a new world of possibilities. MESS blends traditional soundshaping with generative and performance power with four independent effect tracks can befreely assigned to over 120 studio-quality effects, all with sequenceable control over multipleparameters. Start a sequence and create entirely new textures that evolve in time from lushambient washes to glitchy chaos. Or switch off the sequencer and use MESS as a powerful,traditional multi-effects pedal.

Over 120 Effects. Built to Sequence and Stack.

Mess features 120 high-quality, stereo effects, ranging from traditional to the experimental.

Choose from analog-style modulation and time-based staples or innovative spectralizers andnew ways to use granular engines.

• Multi-Mode Reverb:5 reverb modes with 25 submodes, from massive ambience torealistic room and plate simulations.
• Granular Bust: A Dynamic multi-mode granular engine that transforms audio in realtime.
• Particle Sampler: Unique granular sampling effect that captures audio from a selectedstep are replays it rhythmically.
• Micro-Looping: Chopping and repeating with direct control. Loop tiny fragments ofsound or large subdivisions for synced micro-fragments to precise rhythmic chaos.Intuitive slicing, looping, and rhythmic manipulation from micro-fragments to preciselytimed repeats.
• Deluge of Delays: Multi-tap, ping-pong and single delay engines with models from tape,analog, digital and more.
• Modulation of Every Sort: over 25 submodes of modulation from tremolos, seasick
• vibratos, classic choruses or robotic flangers.
• Many Shapes: 12 unique shaper modes ranging from subtle saturation and overdrive toaggressive bitcrushing and sample-rate reduction.
• Spectralizers: Two spectral modes for wild pre-reverberations, alien screams or gentleharmonic smearing.
• EQ, Filter, Pan and Automate:Sequence filters and panners for dynamic tonal shaping,enhanced stereo fields, and vocal formant effects.
• Repitch Everything: Dedicated pitch shifters and sequenced repitching for granular,spectral, and loop effects.

Make Anything Musical

MESSs 16-step grid pad is a real time sequencer and editor with intuitive hands-on controlthat rewards experimentation without an advanced degree in sound design required. Sequenceeffect parameters, start or stop sequences without cutting out the effects, or build complexpolyrhythmic patterns that evolve as you play.

• Per-step parameter sequencing
• Adjustable track length and playback speed for polymeter and polyrhythm creation
• Chance and probability control for generative sequences or precisely times effects
• Tap tempo synchronization ensures rhythmic precision for delays, tremolos, and slicers
• Quickswap effects and change the effects order with the push of a button

4-Track Sequencing Power

Each track runs independently, with detailed control over parameters, time divisions and length.Create slow spectral sweeps by slowing a sequencer down to 1/16th of the chosen tempo whileincreasing the speed of a microlooper for chaotic glitchy stutters all in the same patch. MESShas the tools to build-up textures or tear them apart.

What Makes MESS Different?

MESS turns effects into an instrument. Unlike conventional multi-effects units that rely on staticpresets, MESS offers dynamic, programmable, and performative sound design. This effectspowerhouse is equally at home on pedalboards, in modular synth setups, or integrated intoDAW-less setupsmaking it ideal for guitarists, synthesists, drum machine enthusiasts, andsound designers.
