Some POG clips

bigchiefbc · #1 12-04-2007, 02:24 PM

Had a few spare minutes at home today, figured I'd whip out some clips of my EHX POG. This is the full-size POG, not the Micro. The Micro is cool, but its got less options. In the interest of disclosure, this is in the classified section.

Clip 1 - The first and main use I found for this pedal is to simulate a rhythm guitar playing along with my bass. This is extremely useful for people (like myself) that play in a band with only one guitar. My guitarist likes to play solos, as well as higher melodies during songs, but the thickness of our sound completely drops away when he does this. The way I accomplish this sound is to split my bass signal into two channels, and in the second channel is the POG and my Turbo Rat. I play a part from Velvet Revolver's "Slither" without this setup, and then with it. This allows my guitarist to play the higher melody during the choruses, and also the solo, while our sound remains thick.

Clip 2 - This clip uses the POG and a phaser, set to a shallow and fast 4-stage phaser, to simulate a 70's style organ, which usually was played through some sort of rotating speaker. Not exact, but you get the idea. This is just me doodling so you can hear how it sounds.

Clip 3 - Here I am using the POG to simulate a church pipe organ. Sorry, I can never resist playing Toccata and Fugue when I'm in this mode

Dude, that is too awesome. I have wanting one of these, and a *assmaster forever. It's time to start buying. I appreciate you taking the time.

Very cool, great clips...you sure covered the wide variety of things you can get from these.

I'd love to hear more about your setup.

what settings are you using for the church organ sound?

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the Carvin basses. One of the best bang-for-the-buck IMHO

c'mon, you can't expect the man to give up his secrets, can you?

A lot of it is in my profile, although the pedals in the chain and the order of them changes between my two projects.

In short, my amp is a Peavey Mark VI that I got for $150 8 years ago, and it is surprisingly competent, although I definitely have had my mind on getting a better head. I have two cabs, a GK 2x10, and a Hartke 1x15 cab, although I have changed out the speaker to a Peavey Black Widow. Homemade pedalboard, with quite a few pedals, most of them on the cheap side.

Input gain at 4-ish. Dry signal around 2 or 3, Sub octave at 7, +1 and +2 octaves both at 10, both detuned octaves at around 5 or 6, and the LPF at 10 (which means off)
