Little helper for soloing

On decent settings, this pedal sounds awesome and thickens your sound on solo´s and atmospheric clean stuff. There is one mix knob and two other knobs for Octave up/down - really easy to understand and user friendly!

Best Octave ever

If you want a maxedout octave sound that beats all competitors for this price, get it!

Fantastic, but,,,,, not quite what I expected.

The micro POG is a truly fantastic product, it tracks perfectly on my 4 string Bass (EADG) both for the octave down as well as up. But here is the issue, the sound is amazing "IF" it is the sound you are looking for. if you are looking for an absolute true rendition of the note either one octave down or up, then be careful as the POG lends a very tuneful and slightly "organ" flavour to the note. Utterly cool if that is what you are looking for, but for me it was not quite what I was expecting. I also tried it on an electric tenor Ukelele with a mix of clean and sub octave, what a funky sound ! So, just be aware, the Micro POG is a superb tool creating some fabulous sounds, but it does have its own "colour". It is definitely going to get some use with the Ukelele, which was probably a million kilometres from the designers mind when they created it !!!

A overall very nice octaver

This thing really sounds very well, in both of it's octaves. It's very simple to use since you only have the volume of the dry, suboctave and octave up knobs to control. The solo sound of the suboctave can produce a kind of synth double bass quality of sound, quite usable, and the solo sound of the upper octave is kind of thin and metalic but you can make it work with a smooth reverb or a fat distortion. I use this pedal with a fretless jazz bass and it sounds great (and sometimes with Overdrive as well).
