Polyend Step

Q: Can I use this at the end of my guitar pedal chain?
A: Yes! Because it has a Stereo Audio Input, you can put it at the very end of your board. Your guitar signal will pass through the pedal and be mixed with the drum sounds for a single stereo output to your amp or PA.

Q: Can I load my own drum samples?
A: Absolutely. You can load your own .wav samples onto the included MicroSD card to create custom kits that perfectly match your sound.

Q: Does it come with a power supply?
A: Usually, it does not include a dedicated wall adapter, but it runs on standard 9-18V DC (center negative) power, meaning it will work with almost any high-current output on a Voodoo Lab, Strymon, or Cioks power supply.

Q: Can I change the drum sounds while I'm playing?
A: Yes. You can use the "Kit" knob to swap entire drum sets instantly while the sequence is running, or use the "Beat" knob to change the rhythm without stopping the music.

Q: Is it purely for drums?
A: While it's a drum machine at heart, the 4th track can be used for synth stabs, pads, or bass samples, and you can use the parameter locks to change the pitch and filter per step to create melodic lines.
