No, that was before I started the loop thing. It was no success 
because one part of the guitarist expects a hot solo sound from any 
distortion and got disapointed with Polydistortion because its smoth 
and the other part of the guitarist that might like the sound does 
not even test it because they think they hate distortion in general.
The Polysubbass is still arround.

We thought about doing this. And using a roland type DIN13 connector 
since it turned into standard for polyphonic guitars :-(. But so far, 
Paradis is sleeping totally. Rolf was here, he still thinks about 
guitars.

The magnetic polyphonic pickup needs to be mounted near the bridge 
and therefore has very little bass. So it might work but less.
