    I have the Polymoon and love it. I'm also very interested in the Ottobit, and have thought about trying the Mercury 7 alongside my Empress Reverb to compare. Would have loved to have seen a full demo for each of these pedals. Especially the Ottobit. Great demo as usual dude. 😊👍

  • @jonridley

    I got the Ottobit and use it with my synths combined with the el Capistan, still undecided on what to get on the reverb front.. big sky is probably still winning in my head because it has midi and stereo although I'm aware that the meris mercury has stereo too. The polymoon wounds wonderful too

    Holy Cow! just when i had whittled my choices down to two reverbs, (Ventris Dual Engine Reverb and Strymon Big Sky - thinking Empress as a maybe) - now comes these three whatcha-m'callits and a presentation like no other. These three seem to be able to make a Volca FM sound almost like a Prophet 12 ( or Rev 2) which would be my next step if I can face the opinion of my sweetie when she learns the P12 (or Rev 2) is on the way.

    Hey... new to your channel (also new to obsessing over guitar pedals -- with a focus on ambient, post-prog, and glitch stuff... Explosions in the Sky, Tycho, sigur rós, Múm, Hammock, Bent, etc.)
    Anyway, I'm looking to put together a pedalboard "on a budget" (ie. under $1000 USD), so I can basically get 3 (maybe 4... maybe I'll fudge that budget) of the following... Which 3 or 4 would be your priorities out of this list: Neunaber Immerse, Meris Polymoon, Earthquaker Avalanche Run, Earthquaker Disaster Transport Sr, EHX Deluxe Memory Man/Boy, EHX Stereo Memory Man, EHX Canyon, Infinite Jets, Red Panda Tensor, Dwarfcraft Grazer, Ottobit Jr. (basically, I want a delay + reverb + one or two special effects for glitch and/or chillout)

    The polymoon seems like its purpose is to prepackage the work that we do by cascading lots of effects to create a unique world of sound. It seems like the polymoon might streamline this process but I can’t tell if that’s a good thing. In other words, do you think the polymoon is versatile enough to contribute tastefully to an fx chain?
