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

[Smurf-o-Deth]

Depending on what the expression pedal controls, I may be in for a Qballs, too.

i'm guessing it controls the stop of the filter sweep?

 

[Valerus]

that qballs is ridiculous

it COULD be the GR killer

 

[Chris Ramlar]

well... if my OS dies I think I might get the Qballs and the POG2...

So the POG2's programmabilty... I'll bet that they'll come out with a BMS with the same feature shortly...

I still wouldn't buy it. Old BMS tone is too much nicer than New BMS tone.

Hmm, presets, attack delay, multiple up and down octaves.... it almost takes care of all my HOG presets. Darn, for a moment there I was hopeful that I could downsize my board.

Crap, I'm going to have to buy more stuff I can't afford

The POG2 looks amazing!

I don't see it happening, the POG is digital and the BMS is analog- and it is much easier to implement presets on a digital pedal.

The new BMS may as well be digital given how lame it sounds.

 

[Chris Ramlar]

well the POG is digital so I guess the POG2 will sound the same or better

and to think i thought I wasn't going to buy a pedal for a while.

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.

With the jacks in, you save about 1.5"-2" of horizontal space and around 3" of vertical space. That's enough to make a difference for most, particularly if you have more than one of the XOs.

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.

They're certainly lighter, but so far they've been much more reliable than the old boxes, so they must be doing something right.

To quote bigchiefbc,

Lets just save ourselves a few months and 10 threads.

It will sound just like the original.

A large minority will claim that it doesn't but will not produce any clips to show the difference.

a few will claim nothing about the actual sound, but just say that it lacks some je ne sais quoi or 'mojo'.

Within a year, the originals will be back up to selling for more than the reissues

I for one am jazzed about the POG2, but with the Pitchfactor at only about $150 more, I'm torn as to what I'd want more.

The 22 Caliber seems interesting. I'm wondering if it's a real power amp, or just a high gain boost pedal. The POG2 also looks really cool, but I don't see myself getting one anytime soon (Micro POG + Pitch Factor = no more octaver GAS). It would be cool if they released an XO version of the expression pedal features of the HOG though. I'd buy that in a heartbeat!
The QBalls seems like it's a combination of the Bassballs and the filter section from the BMS. Very intriguing!
Now to wait for EHX to start posting some videos and sound clips!

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

TheMutt, if your Pitchfactor has come in, can you tell me if the octave up sounds close to the octave up on the Micro POG?

 

[cheapbasslovin]

This thread is not helpful. I need a fatload of cash.

 

[CrispyDelicious]

Joo peoples are crazy.

You dont even know what the Qballs does and you want to buy it?

Even if they could just make an XO version of the foot controller that would save a decent amount of space.
