RE: (Micro)Pog2
Won't be selling my Micro Pog just yet.
I like the (Pog2) feature set, but for me they screwed the pooch on one thing....they don't have the dry signal out!!!:confused:

I use mine because I run the (upper) octave through certain effects (chorus, distortion, etc.) while keeping the main bass signal dry and then mixing them back together.

With the new (Micro) Pog2 I can't do this. :(

Guess I'll have to wait for Pog2.1 . :spit:

The first slider is the dry signal. It's just hard to read. In total it has five sliders for octaves (0, -2, -1, +1, +2) plus attack swell, LPF, and detune. It also has two buttons one that says Q and the other one that looks like it says dry effects, and 8 SMMH style preset slots.

Goodies from the manual:

DETUNE Slider - Controls the amount of detune applied to the +1 and +2 OCTAVE signals. As the DETUNE slider is pushed up both the depth and rate of detune are increased. When DETUNE is pushed down to its minimum position the detune function shuts off. The DETUNE slider will also effect the DRY signal when the DRY FX LED is lit amber.

DRY FX Push-Button and LED - The DRY FX Button cycles through four modes allowing the DRY signal to either bypass or pass through the Attack, LP Filter and Detune effects. The modes are as follows:

LED State MODE
Off DRY bypasses all effects
RED DRY goes through Attack control, bypasses LP Filter and Detune
GREEN DRY goes through Attack and LP Filter, bypasses Detune
AMBER DRY goes through all three effects: Attack, LP Filter and Detune

Q Push-Button and LED - The Q button and LED cycles through four levels of resonance or Q for the Low Pass Filter. As the Q LED gets brighter the Q increases. LED off signifies the least amount of Q. The brightest Q LED setting signifies the highest Q setting.

though one thing occured to me... at the point that i have 3 bills to spend, won't i be tempted to go all the way with a pitchfactor?

That's would be my question as well, in the hypothetical scenario that I would ever actually have the necessary cash laying around to buy the POG2.

The PF is what, $500, plus close to another $100 for a decent expression pedal to actually use a lot of the functions? Granted, it does some really awesome stuff, but a lot of it would be questionably useful outside of writing sci-fi soundtracks.

The POG2 is $325 and doesn't have the option for the additional expression pedal. It seems like it would be more useful for the majority of players, but it doesn't quite do all-out weird like the Pitch Factor.

the Pog2 is surely the more practical of the 2.

you can get a new pitchfactor for 440 or less if you poke around, though
