Members willhaven Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 Probably the coolest single pedal I have. Now I'll have a backup just in case the other one goes kaput. Cheaper than I expected actually. Just over $300. I was expecting $400, which I wouldn't pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ibentmywookie Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 Really neat pedal. I used to have one, but I couldn't justify the potential cash in my pocket against the fact that I love my Small Clone for modulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members n!k Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 Had I known you wanted it I wouldn't have kept bidding it up! Oh well. I already have a polychorus, but the name/graphic is way cooler on the echoflanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well.I already have a polychorus, but the name/graphic is way cooler on the echoflanger.Cooler is debatable. More rare? Absolutely. I actually think I prefer the look of the Polychorus. I have the same vintage Small Stone that's black with the big red/orange block. I dig that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 3vcos Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 the polychorus and echoflanger can't be exactly the same.. at least the original echoflanger and current polychorus can't. The BBD chips are rather different. The echoflanger uses Reticon chips (at least my echoflanger has reticon chips) and the polychorus uses Panasonic chips. They each have a different sound in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just responded to a thread about this in the EHX forum: http://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/1754/#14942 I've been using my RI Stereo PolyChorus this week, in stereo fully panned with headphones. Damn, it sounds so wide, lush, and lovely When I turn it off, it's such a letdown to play in mono again. But my PolyFlange definitely has a tone of its own, and plenty of MOJO.

Members shadowflux Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 Cool. I was watching that auction myself, but the $40+ intl shipping turned me off. I picked up a vintage Polychorus myself last winter... such an amazing and lush effects box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members matt the rat Posted September 21, 2009 Members Share Posted September 21, 2009 To my knowledge, the circuitry is identical. It's just older, named differently and has plain black silk screening. So what you're saying is you paid 300 dollars for an older, less-colorful version of a currently being produced pedal. Can I ask why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willhaven Posted September 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 22, 2009 So what you're saying is you paid 300 dollars for an older, less-colorful version of a currently being produced pedal. Can I ask why?Collectibility. Rarity. Most of my EHX effects that I use are reissue. Just these two Echoflangers and a Small Stone are vintage. That said, I bought my dad out of his pedal collection last year. He still has them all, but at some point I'm going to take over 200+ vintage collectible stomp boxes. At one point I think he said it would cost $3-400 just to put 9V batteries in all of the pedals that use them. I guess I grew up as a bit of a gear snob.
