Poly Effects Trails Texture Effect Pedal

The Poly Effects Trails Texture Pedal is a multi-effect unit built for players who want to go beyond the usual reverbs and delays. It's a deep yet approachable tool for ambient creators, experimentalists, and sound designers looking to build evolving textures that sustain and morph over time. If you've used Poly's Verbs or Ample, you'll feel right at home with the format, but Trails brings its own palette of off-the-beaten-path sounds.

Inside, you get seven unique modes covering granular processing, vinyl-style delays, resonators, wavefolding, sympathetic string effects, vocal modulation, and microlooping. Each mode is its own sound world, with intuitive controls that adjust depending on which effect you're using. Trails runs in full stereo, and the built-in 8-step sequencer lets you animate any parameter. You can even use MIDI notes to drive pitch shifting for added depth.

Despite how deep it can go, Trails doesn't feel overwhelming. The interface is streamlined, the sound design options are powerful, and it fits easily into a performance setup or recording rig. If you're chasing textures that sustain and evolve-stuff that feels alive-Trails is one of the more inspiring tools we've had on the shelf.
