ATTACK
Read full descriptionHide full description
ATTACK is a noise generator built for pressure, feedback and broken rhythm. Punch the footswitch for a wall of white noise. Hold it for momentary bursts, or latch it and shape the signal with three brutal effects. Record a sample, loop it back, and build a damaged little system that keeps moving. R.I.P. — frequency sweep filter. Push the noise from low weight to high-edge bite. GUTS — bit crusher. Break the signal into unstable digital fragments and glitches. SCREAM — feedback. Send the noise back into itself and let it start to fight. SPLICE — slice and disrupt the noise signal. KICK — an independent low kick drum, kept clear of the noise effects. SAMPLE — record and loop a sound directly from your phone. SHAKE — shake the phone to activate the effects and throw their controls into aggressive random motion. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Just noise.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ATTACK at none against Poly 2's 1. ATTACK also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). Poly 2's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
