Polyend Step Drum Machine

Integrating a drum machine into a guitar pedal isn’t a new concept, but the Polyend Step elevates it to a whole new level, drawing on the Polish company’s expertise in synthesis rather than traditional guitar effects.

The Step is a stereo, sample-based drum machine in pedal form, controlled via Tap Tempo and capable of delivering dynamic drumming across genres. It offers 350 genre-based beats and over 200 drum kit sounds, with the option to program your own patterns.

Since it’s a pedal, after all, it appropriately features an extensive bank of “punch-in” effects with over 50 creative effects to choose from for added versatility.

Patterns can be fully customized using the 16-step sequencer, and each drum sound is tweakable with 15 adjustable parameters per track.

With Song Mode, players can chain up to 16 patterns and seamlessly navigate them using the three footswitches, which also assist with preset selection and navigating the LED display.

For added flexibility, the Step supports MIDI and expression pedal control, making it a powerful tool for both live and studio use.
