The octave up is spot on. The octaves down are a little glitchy when you get down into the lower registers, but track well otherwise. If your technique isn't clean, it may arpeggiate and stutter/sputter... but that may be what you're going for ;)

Overall, the tracking is better than the 2nd Voice, but not quite as good as the Subterranea... however its octaves down are heavier than both of those other pedals IMO, so that makes up for the tracking


Woah, you have a Subterranea, that's one of the other synthy pedals I'm very curious about, what are the waveform sounds like?
Which Second Voice do you have, one of the older ones or one of the new ones?
The tracking on the Pollyanna works pretty great for me, I usually leave the Sens control at about noon, above it will glitch more in my experience.

I was just borrowing my friend's second voice (it was one of the older versions), and I had a shootout between my pollyanna and his second voice, subterranea, pll, and octasynth when I returned it. You can get some cool sounds by sweeping the range knob on the second voice, but I didn't think it tracked as well or sounded as heavy as the pollyanna.

The subterranea is pretty cool. I think I'm going to pick one up once Taylor starts accepting new orders. The pulse and sawtooth are buzzier/edgier than the square wave, and I really liked the "octave" synth, which is modeled on the oc-2. Overall, it's less glitchy/video game sounding than the pollyanna... especially, since it produces clean octaves

how you like the ibanez dml?

It sounds really cool, like a rainbow machine on crack. It does sound to shrill tho, thinking of trading it for something else.

they are pretty full-spectrum repeats, not a lot of filtering or warmness going on in that circuit but i think the harshness is what makes it so good, you can get weird pitchy stuff going on and every repeat just cuts through the mix so well in a band situation. plus when you crank the feedback it just holds it indefinitely without any noticeable change in volume. if you do ever want to get rid of it hit me up, i sort of want to get a few and set them up for all different sounds :lol:
sick board by the way :thumb: looks like a lot of fun.

OOF. Hard to follow up HorsSujet.

Here's what I'm rocking at a solo show tonight:

Image

Headphones taped to snare and kick and ran through sidechained gates in ableton to trigger sounds determined by the FCB1010. Vocals ran through GB24 -> Particle -> DL4. All of it ran through Fender PA135 + 1 Delta Pro 15A.

Do you have to drink Captain Morgan before you use the Whammy?

Cool, thanks for sharing your thoughts man, I'm still gassing hard for some of these pedals, someday…
First I need to take care of stuff for my pedalboard though so I can finally finish that. :)

Yeah, I'd love clips of the one-man show too!

Funny that you guys made me aware of the polyanna and today our mixer posts a video on Facebook where he uses it on the bass drum for my band.

Thanks man!
Yeah, surprising amount of sounds in that small set up. Recently been running the overdrive cranked and I never knew it sounded so good. Hauls so much ass.

Also PM'd. :thumb:
