Key Features
- Ultimate Ambient Accomplice – Impossible to box into one effect group, the Poly Effects Trials is perhaps the ultimate choice for those searching for a pedal to help create the most harmonic and emotive ambient textures all from one unit. Sitting somewhere between an Ambient Reverberator, Delay, 8-Step Sequencer, Synthesiser, Resonator and Micro Looper, Trails is a pedal to kick on and get lost with!
- Presets – With Trials, you can create and edit up to 8 presets per mode, resulting in a total of 56 presets onboard.
- Set List – You can easily create Set Lists so that your favourite presets can be accessed from any ‘Mode’ in whatever order you need them to be in. Perfect for sculpting your live performance without the need for continuous ambient tap dancing.
7 Modes of Pure Ambient Bliss
- Meadows – Sympathetic strings ring in response to what you play. You can tune which notes they resonate with. Single notes on the higher strings highlight the sarod/sitar-like character, where strums on lower notes create lush, full textures. Get lost in a valley of flowers.
- Haven – Create bell like sounds on each pluck. This resonator-based mode uses your guitar as the exciter to a physical model where you can vary the material the bells are made from. A tranquil land of chimes or peaceful oblivion with bells.
- Prairie – This is not a tape delay. It’s not a bucket brigade delay. It’s a vinyl record playing back what you’ve just played. Filled with crackle and character. Vast grasslands where time moves differently.
- Outback – This is a physical model of a human mouth. Sounds you play come out of the mouth as it opens and shuts. This sounds similar to talk boxes, formant synths and phaser effects. The remote red centre invites you to look at things you know in a different way.
- Tundra – A pitch-shifting delay. You can shift up and down either with the slider or via sending MIDI notes. Tundra is best when frozen, so play a note, freeze it and then change the controls.
- Badlands – A Very brutal distortion. This combination of wave folding and Chebyshev wave shaping is not for gentle warm tones. It’s great with notes that ring out and slower playing as the sustain is very interesting. Twisted and heavily eroded, difficult to navigate, the Badlands bring an unusual and unexplored type of distortion.
- Coast – A microlooper / granular texture generator that grabs snippets of sounds and then plays them back. It’s great for creating full soundscapes from sparse playing. To explore the controls, freeze some of the audio and then see how the controls interact. Grains of sand get between your toes as lapping waves splash in and out.
