Sign in to disble this ad
The only sounds I can get out of it are weird glitchy notes (sounds like a ring modulator). Even with the dry signal completely off, the sounds coming out are just too glitchy. I like crazy noising pedals, but this is not why I got the Micro Pog.
Can't believe how much money I spent on this pedal.  |

Anyway - I couldn't see the µPOG working for me - I NEVER run the filter on position#1, all the way up (which would be the equivalent of the µ, I presume). Unless they pre-filter the high octave at some freq that's more reasonable. Else there's some pretty jangling, squeeky, munchkin stuff going on way up there in the high freqs.
Also - I've seen it said here that the µPOG 'has good organ sounds'. I've tried simulating the µ with my POG (working only with 'up one and down one' - non-detuned, and the filter set as described above). I'd say 'I guess'; 'maybe barely' - but the one- AND two- up, WITH the detune, AND the resonant filter...
Now THAT's Organ Tone!

I can't believe I have to pay for shipping to/from EHX. They screw up and *I* have to pay? Can I just deliver it to them? Seriously.
And can we PLEASE stop calling it the µPOG? That is not the name and it just looks stupid that way (and I love physics). |

I'd return it to the guys who sold it to you rather than EHX, they're the ones who sold you faulty goods. Failing that, EHX should sort you out. But i've always sent faulty stuff back to the seller, the only exception being a B:assmaster that was a little funny, and thats coz Josh from Malekko offered to send me an upgraded replacement free of charge, i wouldnt expect as much from EHX.

Going to be jamming in half hour, so I will record a few samples.
I live only a few miles from EHX, so the turnaround would be much faster if I went through them instead of the seller, which is based in IL. |

sigh.
