Critic Reviews

Electro-Harmonix Stereo Polyphase review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Electro-Harmonix XO Stereo Polyphase is a phaser pedal that shines with versatility and sound quality, positioning itself as a stellar choice for experimental guitarists. Its robust build and multiple modulation control options, including envelope follower, LFO, and expression pedal, offer a wide range of sonic possibilities.
