Phil O'Keefe Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 This looks pretty cool... http://www.harmonycentral.com/news/harmans-digitech-expands-sonic-horizons-with-introduction-of-polara-stereo-reverb-pedal ...although I must say, the graphics remind me of something that Catalinbread would do.

Members 1001gear Posted November 5, 2014 Members Share Posted November 5, 2014 High voltage. Which to me means hifi mids and dynamics. They then go on to say 9v operation - I know the voltage is goosed internally but they don't bother specifying the voltage or even clarifying the issue.I remember experiencing corksniffer discomfort over this when I first got my Hardwire Distorto.

That's even funnier. At least my SC2 disto is analog. What could "high voltage" possibly mean on the Polara? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess the analog signal path is run at >9 volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry signal headroom, possibly, since that doesn't necessarily have to go through the 3.3v digital converters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Renula's suggestion for polara graphics I like - but I think I'd prefer it more if the blue was just a bit lighter and more contrasting. Makes the labels easier to read in low-light conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Halo mode New footswitch Exposed tails switch Smaller size gen2 stomplock If you are asking why you should get this instead of an RV-7, it comes down to size and availability. The old-style HardWire chassis will no longer be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DigiTechRep Posted November 6, 2014 Members Share Posted November 6, 2014 The new design costs us more. Guitarists told us the HardWire was too big and ugly and they hated the footswitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Preacher Posted November 6, 2014 Members Share Posted November 6, 2014 But you must be aware that guitarists are fickle, narcissistic divas with inflated estimations of the validity of their opinions. They are also usually broke. For what it's worth, this is also why I can be sure that I am, in fact, a guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
