Members johnrambo Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 i really like using the POG for bass sounds. the setting i use is suboctave all the way and adjust the filter to as needed. Can anyone who has used both say whether or not the Micro POG does this well? The filter slider on the POG seems to be very important to dialing in the right sound so how does the micro get by without one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cloudscapes Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 the bass/sub-octave on the micro works very well! as you said it'll be different without the filter, but it's good enough to "play the bass" this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crxsh Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 I do this all the time with my MicroPOG ... I have an EQ right after it though ... so I can dial in that "bass" sound a bit better that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnrambo Posted March 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 what does the filter do on the pog....I have a micro, but i'm not sure what you mean? it's just a low pass filter but it's crucial to getting the POG to sound right. i'm curious to know how the micro version gets by without it.

Members IRG Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 Where does the pog/micro pog go in the effects loop, or should it be out front after dirt pedals? This is a pedal I've been thinking about adding at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking to match sounds from the POG...dont get the micro pog. It's a reasonable facsimile, but you will always know the big one is out there...sounding better.

This is a pedal I've been thinking about adding at some point. There are guys who treat it like an octaver and put it pre-dirt .... but I put mine after dirt. Really... it sounds just as good both places. I've run it both ways and actually preferred post-dirt ... but either way is fine. You should get one ... they're a ton of fun.

Members sense_of_henry Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 I track basslines with my MicroPog using a strat. It sounds great when recorded, you probably wouldn't be able to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suboctave is usually enough .... but if I'm playing heavily .... I'll boost the signal with my EQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gourd of Ashes Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 do you have blend in the direct signal to get the level up or is the suboctave on its own have enough output? just depends on your particular ear...and the gear that you have The micro pog is KILLER for tracking down octaves. It is a simple pedal...and tracks single octave down better than the regular POG and HOG. There is plenty of room to dial it in for taste...you can kick up the levels in efx loop...or run it in front of the amp no problemo You don't need a filter. The filter is more useful for controlling response for playing funk...or for getting wild organ sounds. Great pedal. Its very clean. Some people prefer analog but I think when it comes to octave pedals analog can sound kinda farty. The Micro Pog stays really tight. Does it sound like a bass? No...I also play bass and it won't replace a bass. Does it kick ass for making a guitar sound deep. Hell yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think the micro pog and pog are completely separate sounding pedals The POG sounds like an organ whereas the micro sounds like a 12 string guitar. THe low pass filter makes the organ sound but kills the 12 string sound. So the filter it's not necessary on the micro Also, the single note tracking is better on the micro. IT's a simpler pedal. When I had a board...I used both. They are very different from each other IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnrambo Posted March 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 i'd really like to buy a micro and do a direct comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
