Members nakedzen Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 I had a few hours time to mess around with it today. First impression on it was when I a/b'd it with the HOG set to octave up/down that it is brighter, not so plasticky and overall more pleasing to the ear. I was very surpriced how good the octave down set 100% wet sounded. It actually sounded very much like a real bass guitar compared to the HOG octave down that sounds nothing like it. Propably because the PO2 has a rounder attack to the notes on the octave down. The tracking is clearer and cleaner, it doesn't really sound like an organ when the two octaves are set high. More like a bass guitar playing along a 12-string, the mix of the three has a lot of room/air to it. The hall reverb on it is pretty nice, has a lot of room for adjustment. I had the reverb on around 9 o'clock to get to my normal amount for leads. Over that is just way too much for me. The chorus sounds pretty nice and lush. Didn't mess around too much with it. The effects aren't listed on the Zcat website, but the price for the PO2 (89 euros) is the same as for the old versions that only have either chorus or reverb. I also bought the Blender parallel looper which worked just the way I wanted. The price for the Blender was 50 euros. No bleed when the knob is set 100% dry. Both are true bypass, the knobs and overall workmanship is high quality. Clips (not mine): Octaver, reverb and chorus Octaver and chorus Octaver Octaver with od Chorus I hinted to him about the standalone freeze/gliss pedal, he said he'll look into it if it's possible for him to make.

Yup. They're not on/off effects but have knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ck3 Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 The chorus and reverb seem like great additions ... especially if your objective is to emulate a 12 or "18-string" guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dunnoaname Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 can anybody tell me what enclosures these guys are using? The Boost (seems to be the same enclosure) is exactly the same size as my MXR pedals. Except the corners are sharper than the MXR's. Also seems lighter but might be because there are not many components in a booster compared to a comp and delay. Hope it helps:idk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VFEpedals Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 Based purely on the picture & the relative size of the jacks & footswitch, I am pretty confident this is a 125B size enclosure. If so, the dimensions of just the enclosure are 4.625" L x 2.5" W x 1.5" H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the Dodo Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 Nope, they are smaller. A little bit bigger than MXRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kidbs Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 I think I'll be selling my micro-POG to fund one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
