GMC Forum _ GEAR & PRODUCTION _ Ehx Micro Pog

Posted by: ItSME3 Mar 8 2012, 03:21 PM

Yesterday I bought a micro pog from EHX. I left work at 7 pm to go to the rehearsal room, walked past the guitar store and saw a Pog for a reduced price in the window. The owner was about to close the store. I had seen that little Pog thingy on youtube so GAS was strooooong. I asked the guy: You want to make some money now. He said yes and I bought the Pog. The band was first not happy. Again the guitar guy comes with something new that sounds weird they said (I like funny pedals). Then i plugged it into my signal chain and everybody smiled. We practiced a new song yesterday. I wrote it over the weekend and had sent some guitarpro files around for the guys. I said lets make the intro sound spacy and ahead we went. First time we tried the song and I loved it (hmm I wrote it ). We always run a mike during rehearsal ( we need to figure out what sounds good or bad) so here is some excerpt of the song to demonstrate the Pog with upper and lower octave on. It sound like an organ and goes really well with the keyboard pads our keys guy laid down. Its really a funny lead sound. THe tracking is great in my oppinon. Just awwwesome.

However it is not really polyphonic. At the end of the short audio I hit some chords and they die off literally with some bad detune effect. You can hit 2 or 3 tones but more is not possible.

about the c7 chord that sounds so aweful. This happens because I have some slight string buzz. This chord will always sound so weird. You have to have a guitar with good action and make sure you only hit one or two notes at a time. Here I hit the C E and the b7 (string buzz). It always dies off. Anyway an awesome stomp box for soul/funk and what not

I've never tried the pedal, but I've heard good things about it
Congratulations on new gear!

I tried one today actually, fun pedal
No I didn't buy one, I have a few others on the top of my list.
