I found a guy on CL selling a ton of used pedals. I picked up a vintage EHX Polychorus that was broken for a really good deal. The seller threw in the Danelectro French Toast because he didn't have $5 change. The pots are kinda scratchy.

I took a gamble with the Polychorus being broken, but it turned out to be the on/off switch had come apart. I simply put it back together because I didn't have a replacement. Working great.

Does this Polychorus look vintage? I know those are the vintage knobs.

Nah, it's the reissue; the originals were never stereo or ran off an adaptor.

Thanks Doog! I am trying to figure whether this pedal could replace my Small clone chorus and BOSS Flanger. The Pedal is so cool looking, but it does take up a lot of space and would have to replace multiple pedals to justify the space.

I need to pickup another 24V power adapter because it didn't come with one and I am using the adapter off the EHX Worm to power it.

The Chorus and Flanger Effects are the most useful and the sweep filter offers lots of variety.

In the end it comes down to whether I want to keep the Polychorus or try to trade up for a POG2.

I am going to play with the French Toast today and see if I can clean the pots.

The quest for gear continues....

The originals had a hardwired adaptor, and all the controls except the mode selector were in a different place... also the green boxes were squared around the "poly" text
And yeah as Doog says they had wet/dry outs instead of stereo effect outs.



Nice pedals dude. My reissue polychorus and french toast are definitely two much-used faves. I agree that the chorus and flanger modes with manipulation of the sweep filter are where the real good sounds lie, but you can make some great robot noises and turn the feedback up/fiddle with knobs for some crazy self-oscillating fun on all modes (but turn your amp down if you hate blown speakers/eardrums).

Love the French Toast. Good scores.
