Polytope

Iron Ether makes unique effects and synth modules in Portland, Oregon. The Polytope brings synth-style oscillator detuning to guitar and bass.

Four identical copies of your input signal can be detuned in pitch, simulating what synthesizers do by detuning oscillators against each other. The result ranges from subtle thickening chorus-like effects to massive detuned walls of sound.

Designed initially for subtle static detune sounds, it proved versatile enough to cover everything from gentle enhancement to extreme pitch warping. Users praise its range from beautiful ambience to wild experimentation.

Relay-based true bypass with top-mounted jacks, 85mA at 9V. Hand-painted and machine-engraved in Portland. Perfect for bass players seeking synth-like oscillator textures.
