Digitech Polara

It's called the Polara. It's a reverb pedal modeled after different Lexicon reverbs, which if you don't know, is standard studio units, really, really...

Very nice. So there you have it, the Digitech Polara. Very cool reverb pedal

The big problem for me was that you need to manually adjust the knobs to get each sound, as the pedal cannot save presets, meaning its utility was reduced for live settings. I also have a Digitech Polara, which is an awesome pedal for traditional reverbs, but it's no longer as cheap on the used market it as it once was.

This series 3 pedal dose not even appear to have tap tempo, which at this price is just unacceptable in my opinion. Reverb? A digitech polara goes for around £80-100 used.

Digitech Polara - I play a lot of surfy and spaghetti western inspired music and find the spring reverb to be very useful. Every reverb on here is usable and great. The reverse and halo settings are very cool.

Digitech Polara: reverb that can sound pretty digital, but it can get some extreme sounds which is what I'm after. Boss DD-3: basic delay with three adjustable frequency settings. EHX Superego Plus: synth engine and multi-effect, lots of functionality including a freezing effect and the ability to mix in dry signal with heavy effects. EHX 720: looper with 10 slots, 720 seconds of loop time, and reverse and half speed settings which are great for the noisey stuff I like to make.

* Digitech Polara: This is already well-known around these parts. I love the drippy spring sound as much as I love the shimmer ("halo") mode, and the optional trails. It's definitely on par with its pricier competition in many ways.

Signal path is wacky and doesn’t really follow the pedal order much. Guitar in -> Saturnworks Pedal Order Switcher - loop 1: EHX Tuner -> EHX Pitchfork -> ss/bs Fuck Overdrive -> OBNE Signal Blender (channel A: Empress Heavy / channel B: EQD Dunes) -> EQD Rainbow Machine -> Digitech Polara -> OBNE Dark Star -> Strymon Volante (expression controls delay repeats) -> Red Panda Tensor -> Eventide Ultratap -> OBNE Dweller -> Walrus Monument 2 (OBNE Expression Ramper currently controlling rate) -> back to switcher - loop 2 -> Walrus Slo -> TC Ditto -> back to switcher -> BOSS RC-500 -> Amp. Shameless self plug here but if you're into heavy instrumental mathy post rock stuff, check out my band CAVALLO (we’re kind of like a mathier, more post hardcore Russian Circles). I didn’t have any of these pedals on our last album so I’m expecting the next one to be weirder.
