With four independent modulation effects sections synced in time, the Electro-Harmonix Mod Rex Polyrhythmic Modulator pedal offers new ways to add dimension and motion to your sounds. Whether you play electric guitar, bass, synthesizer, or another electronic instrument, Mod Rex packs a ton of creative potential. True stereo operation allows you to craft expansive panning effects. Nine different note-length choices allow you to dial in polyrhythmic effects. And with the ability to control its tempo via the Tempo knob, the Tap tempo footswitch, the expression input, or via MIDI clock, the Electro-Harmonix Mod Rex Polyrhythmic Modulator pedal is ready to integrate into any music production environment.

What Does a Chorus Pedal Do?


Seven vibrant effects in total





The Mod Rex pedal packs four individual effects sections, each with their own time settings. The Mod section offers up classic vibrato, flanger, chorus, or phaser effects. The Trem section provides tremolo, and the Pan section creates stereo panning effects. The Filter section features a modulated filter with selectable lowpass, highpass, or bandpass operation.





Create complex modulation effects with polyrhythmic LFOs





Each section on the Mod Rex pedal has its own LFO with four selectable waveforms. Modulating different sections with different waveshapes can reward you with exciting sonic textures, and that's just the start. Because each section can be set to one of nine different time subdivisions (from whole notes to 16th notes), you can create polyrhythmic modulation effects simply by selecting different time divisions for each section.





Extensive MIDI capabilities





One reason synthsists at Sweetwater like the Mod Rex Polyrhythmic Modulator pedal is its comprehensive MIDI support. Every parameter on the Mod Rex can be controlled via CC messages, making it a great output effects processor for your DAW setup or live electronic performance rig.
