Electro Harmonix POG Audio Samples with a Valenti

chrisrhoads · #1 09-13-2007, 12:29 PM

Recently got the electro-harmonix POG (polyphonic octave generator) to try and thought I would post some audio clips. I used a Valenti J bass into the POG then straight into my Digi002. No added EQ, compression etc.

The first link is simply the tone of the bass in order to give a reference point.

The following link is a mixture of the dry signal and the suboctave

We then have the dry, sub, and 1 octave up

then dry, sub, 1 up, and 2 up
http://www.chrisrhoadsmusic.com/pog/suboneandtwoup.mp3

then dry, sub, 1 up, and 2up detuned

then organ type chords chords with the dry sub 1up 2 up detuned

then a demonstration of tracking switching between high and low notes quickly.

all in all it seems to be an impressive product that is quite easy to use, and seems to do a good job creating unique sounds.

Chris,

Thanks for the demos. They sound good - and usable. Thanks also for contributing to everyone's G.A.S.

I play in a 4 piece and it would be cool to have some octave up on occasion to fill things out a bit.

I was thinking the same thing. I play with a 3 piece occasionally and the ability to fill up the sound spectrum with the +1 octave is deffinitly an interesting thought to pursue. Also really enjoyed the organ tones, not sure how useable they truly are in a live setting, but they sure are fun.

Very cool, thanks for that

I can put up some other examples later today,

I feel this captured the general idea of the organ"ish" sound however

The chord clip was pretty close to an organ. I have to have one, Christmas list look out!

Thanks for the samples! Have you tried to get an 8 or 12 string bass sound out of it? The organesque was honestly enough to make me want one, sound like a fun pedal.

chrisrhoads · #8 09-13-2007, 03:54 PM

yeah, however I didn't feel as if it was a true 8 or 12 vibe. More just a "trick" or thing that the POG does well.

beautiful tone.. great playing and technique.. alot of times when people submit sound clips they dont sound that great.. but this one is superb! thanks man

great stuff Chris, thanks for taking the time to do those samples

chrisrhoads · #11 09-13-2007, 04:35 PM

glad you guys enjoyed them. I am back home so if anyone has a specific question or request I can toss the sample/example up.

JanusZarate · #12 09-13-2007, 06:44 PM

Awesome stuff! This is tempting me to look into the Micro POG...

emjazz · #13 09-13-2007, 10:38 PM

Wish I hadn't heard these clips now...........
