OMFG! Full POG2 Spec and Qballs / 22 Caliber!!!

DO NOT READ BEYOND HERE IF YOU WANT TO RETAIN YOUR WEALTH!!!

DO NOT READ BEYOND HERE IF YOU THINK YOU ARE IMMUNE FROM GAS!!!





Oh lookie, lookie what I have just stumbled across:

Invalid Link Removed

POG2 is in stock next week!!! I couldn't help it. I tried not to. Not very hard, I admit. But I've ordered one!

Full spec Invalid Link Removed. Don't know where they got it - I can't even find it on the EHX site yet!

No info on the two Q-balls? The 22 Caliber intrigues me but I suspect that will be voiced more for guitar. Though can you imagine if it isn't, a VT-Bass into the 22 Caliber?!!!

:hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:
 
damnit, I just ordered a micro... I mean, I knew the POG2 was coming, but I only really wanted the +1 and -1 functionality that's in the micro. This, however, has a delayed attack which could actually replace my behringer sm-200 (which I'm looking to replace, anyway)... Also, it works daisy chained! gah... will wait for some reviews. Depending on what happens I might actually resell my micropog unopened and buy this instead :\ The only problem I can see is that I don't really dig the whole "slider" thing much. still... looking delicious.
 
Wow, the POG2 has everything they wished for..

There's an "Enigma: Qballs" for bass and a "Riddle: Qballs" for guitar. Both have control over attack, decay, q, lp/bp/hp, Q, sensitivity, start and stop, and a switch for bypass and distortion. Looks pretty sweet, can't wait to hear clips.
 
I can't believe a UK stockist has got them in first?! Unless all the US dealers have em incoming too but this store has broken it's code of silence early!

Does that Q-Balls look like it has an expression input on the right there? Or it could be an envelope trigger input...
 
I am not a pedal guy, but I dig playing around with the pog. This new version has most everything that annoyed me about the original pog addressed. Only pedal I've seen in ten years that I thought to myself, I will buy that.
 
OH MAN!!!!! It's a smaller footprint too! I am sooooo buying one!

The XO box smaller footprint is a bit of an optical illusion. Once you get the jacks in you don't really save much space.

And, IMHO, these larger-bodied XO models feel a bit cheap compared to the older bent stainless boxes. Can't really explain it any better than "feels a bit cheap", though.
 
Wow. I wonder what the street price will be in the U.S.

It looks great, but I wonder why this wasn't the pedal released the first time around. I believe they had already built the BMS into an XO frame at that point.

Don't know that I'll get one but I certainly want one a lot more now than I did previously.

EDIT: VERY curious to find out more about that QBalls.
