The Polyend MESS Multi FX Step Sequencer is a groundbreaking effects processor that fuses a powerful four-track step sequencer with a vast palette of 125 stereo effects, all delivered with Polyend’s unmistakable style. Whether you’re searching for lush ambient textures, intricate glitch sequences, or simply want to build your dream pedalboard chain, MESS offers an inspiring playground for sonic experimentation. With its intuitive workflow, hands-on controls, and deep sequencing abilities, MESS transforms how you interact with effects, unlocking dynamic movement, evolving soundscapes, and spontaneous ideas at your fingertips.

At its core, MESS provides four fully customizable effect tracks, each capable of hosting any effect in any order, letting you craft unique multi-effects chains that move in sync or drift apart. With a massive library of reverbs, delays, modulation, granular, glitch, shapers, filters, pitch, and slicing effects, the creative potential is virtually limitless. The integrated sequencer brings Polyend’s renowned rhythmic prowess to effects processing, enabling per-track sequencing with polyrhythmic and polymetric patterns, chance controls, and dynamic parameter changes for ever-evolving textures.

MESS is equally at home as a traditional pedalboard replacement or an avant-garde sound design tool. Whether you’re a guitarist looking to push your pedalboard to new heights, an electronic musician seeking generative effects, or a sound designer craving experimental textures, MESS delivers. Ready-to-play presets, flexible connectivity, and a robust build make it an inspiring addition to any studio or live rig.

Multi-Track FX Architecture

Combine up to four different effects per preset, with complete flexibility on effect order and type. Stack reverbs, delays, bitcrushers, granular processors, and more to create multi-layered soundscapes or tightly focused effect chains. Each effect track is fully independent and sequenced, offering a vast range of creative possibilities for any instrument or audio source.

125 Studio-Grade Stereo Effects

Dive into a collection of over 120 effects, including classic reverbs and delays, spectral processors, granular and glitch modules, shapers, pitch shifting, slicing, and more. Every effect features detailed parameter controls, making it easy to fine-tune your sound or unleash unpredictable textures with the turn of a knob.

Powerful Step Sequencer

Polyend’s step sequencer lets you animate every effect parameter, track, and preset with per-track rate, length, and chance options. Create polyrhythmic and polymetric sequences, generate evolving textures, and introduce randomness and generative elements for effects that never repeat. The sequencer can be instantly activated for live manipulation or bypassed for static effect chains.

Instant Creativity & Intuitive Workflow

MESS boasts a one-knob-per-function interface and a clear visual grid, making custom patch creation and live experimentation fast and inspiring. With 150 factory presets and 1000 user slots, you’re never far from finding your next great sound. Its compact, robust form and comprehensive connectivity ensure seamless integration with guitars, synths, drum machines, or DAW-less setups.

Key Features

  • Four Independent Effect Tracks – Build custom multi-effect chains with any combination of effects on each track, offering total flexibility for layering, sequencing, and experimentation.
  • 125 Stereo Effects – From lush reverbs and analog-style delays to unique granular, spectral, and glitch effects, MESS covers all your creative needs and inspires new directions in sound design.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.
