Poly-Grace
The Smallsound/Bigsound Poly-Grace is a captivating fuzz pedal that invites you to explore the outer realms of sonic expression. Beneath its unassuming exterior lies a complex circuit that blurs the line between instrument and amplifier, offering a dynamic and unpredictable sound palette. At its core, the Poly-Grace houses a unique IC fuzz section that generates a mesmerizing, almost sentient character. Twist the knobs, and you'll uncover a world of sonic surprises – from the tamed and refined to the utterly unhinged. Thick, gritty bass fuzz tones give way to shimmering, shoegaze-inspired textures, while volume swells and octave-jumping effects add an element of the unexpected. What makes the Poly-Grace truly special is its ability to function as a mini-amplifier, allowing you to drive a 4 or 8 ohm speaker cabinet. This push-pull output stage transforms the pedal into a compact sonic powerhouse, capable of delivering everything from a whisper to a roar. The circuit's unique behavior when used as a speaker driver adds another layer of nuance and character to your tone. Inspired by the playful and experimental spirit of the Cracklebox, the Poly-Grace is a limited-edition offering that invites musicians and non-musicians alike to engage with sound in a tactile and unpredictable way. Fans of Cymbals Eat Guitars will be delighted to know that this pedal was used in the creation of the band's latest album, Lenses Alien. Prepare to be swept away by the Poly-Grace's boundless sonic possibilities.
