POG2 : Amazing octaver for organ-like sounds

7 years ago

Premise: I'm not one of these EH fanboy at all.

But this pedal attracted me for a long time, so in the end I bought it and now it's stably on my main board.

The building quality is awesome: never had any problems in many years of intensive usage.

For what concerning the sound, I was expecting something like the normal 3-knobs Pog that I've previously tried: forget about it.

The Pog2 sounds way better to me, not only because of more controls but even in simple "octaver" mode.

The pitch tracking is perfect even while playing chords in every part of the fretboard. Octaves sounds very "real", hot and smooth.

The attack/filter/detune part is where the magic happens: filter is astonishing and the attack control is really precise (thanks to the dry pot it can be used as a swell effect). Working with the Q button many true organ-like sounds can be obtained.

The general usage is really simple and self explanatory.

Personally I've never used the preset options, but if needed it's there.

Cons: Maybe the price is a little high? And an expression pedal would be useful.
