Members johnrambo Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 i'm pretty happy with my dirt, modulation and delay effects. i've been gasing over a pog for a while now and i've got one lined up but can't pull the trigger for some reason.

Members foxguitar Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 As much as I want one its hard to spend over 300 bucks , unless your gigging and making money its a very expensive hobby , I mean guitars for a grand most amps 1500 , then all the toys and gadgets we all love are expensive as {censored} , I love gear but after awhile you have to be selective or be broke LOL . Im gassing for the POG too but im going to wait for the micro POG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PFDarkside Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 Has the micro been confirmed? Just eat Ramen for a week, it's worth it. I felt the same way for 6 months then finally just pulled the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Raskolnikovs axe Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 i felt the same way and now i'm having mixed feeling after getting the pedal - on the one hand, it sounds great and is really fun to play with, but on the other, i'm having trouble finding a use for it in a band context. it's hard to use and not fill up too much space when you're playing with others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnrambo Posted August 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 the micro looks cool but i just don't think it's going to live up to the real deal. i'm mostly interested in a 12 string effect and the organ tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tone Deaf Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 From the pics of the micro, it only has controls for suboctave and an octave up, which really makes it limited in comparison to what can be done with a regular Pog. If you've been gassing for a Pog, and you pick up a micro, I personally don't think it will be as satisfying. If $$ is the issue, there is a guy on ebay selling them for like $260 buy it now. That's how I got mine, even after shipping, it's cheaper than retail (and it was brand new). However, if you really want me to talk you out of it, the Pog is one of those effects that you really have to limit your usage. If you use it too much, it's gonna lose it's novelty. It's not like a dirt pedal that you might use for every song. Spending upwards of $300 bucks for an effect that you might use for one or two songs might be a bit much.

Members slash81291 Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 er I have a POG, and well it has this really weird "muffled" sound to it, when ever I turn it on, I feel like someone put a few blankets over my speakers. It might be something I am doing wrong, I just use it for the organ sound, which is great sounding! And it is a really neat pedal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HMCMedic Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 The organ and 12 string effects are cool but the best thing you can do with it is run it with a heavy fuzz:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SpectralJulian Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 1. Because the micro pog is cheaper smaller and can get organ sounds2. Because the HOG has a crapload more features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members echodeluxe Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 if you have the money and you really want it, i say go for it. if you dont think you are gonna use it alot, id say pass. i bought a pedal a while ago cuz i really wanted it, and i didnt use it enough. i ended up selling it cuz i felt dumb having it and not using it. it was a boss ps-5. wish i still had it though. needed the money though. eh. whatever.

Members Tone Deaf Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 1. Because the micro pog is cheaper smaller and can get organ sounds How? The micro only has controls for dry signal, suboctave, and octave up. Without the two detune controls and lp filter control I don't see how it could. You know something I don't or what am I missing?

Members johnrambo Posted August 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 actually i thought it over today and i think i'm going to pass for now. it's more money than i want to spend not knowing how much use i'll get out of it. i'm better off saving the money for when my GAS turns away from pedals and back to a new guitar or amp.

Members JoshuaLogan Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 don't. you probably wouldn't use it enough to make it worth it. personally, I'm only willing to spend big bucks on versatile things that I know I will use really often.... example: the new eventide timefactor and modfactor....

Members cromulent Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 try it out first at your local store. also think hard if you are going to use the sounds in your band or home or whatever. if you gonna get it just cuz it sounds fun, but then after a couple weeks it'll start collecting dust in your closet, then well...
