I love my micro Pog and couldn’t ever get a good sound out of the Sub n up. Different strokes indeed!

Here’s an up-close pic (with a ruler) to help answer your questions...
I really like it too, mid OD is what I use it for. Very versatile......wish it had 2 channels though
oh, and I'm a gal......lol
Lol! Sorry, but your picture is not clear about that. We need to invent a neutral gender expression for that, like "its rare to see another being with a Tritonlab...".
I love mine also. I'm using it as a higher gainny, more compresssed type of drive. In the board that I'm using it I have the Smallsound/Bigsound for mild gain, and I also a W&C Suppa Phat Phuk either just to get a grittier tone when used alone, and as a dirty boost to feed the other pedals if needed.
I love my Tritonlab jFet OD. I find it to be super versatile and can cover a lot of ground, from those Darkglass tones to lower amp tube drive. And the price is so good that I don't get how you don't see it more on other boards.
Cheers!
I had the bigger Sub N' Up a while ago and then sold it to get other stuff. I got it back then to try to build a Royal Blood type of setup, but I couldn't get a nice octave up soloed sound that I really liked because it didn't have enough volume and I always heard a bit of the fundamental there. I even edited a toneprint for that use, but my pedal had the same problem as many other SNU back then that it didn't save the toneprints after it was disconnected from the power source.
But then some months ago I got this mini Sub N' Up that does the job and works well with the toneprints.
I'm not using it anymore as an octave up soloed or so. I use it for that organ type of sound and with the toneprints available you can make it quite versatile, since you can add some drive or modulation
It's also cool to get sort of a 8 string bass vibe. I use it to play Jeremy by Pearl Jam on one of my bands.
I think that if you're looking for an octave down type of pedal, it's not the best one even if you can equalize it and change some of the settings with the editor. I could never get an octave down that I really liked with it.
I really prefer the analogue octavers like the MXR (either the BOD or the Vintage Octave), the OC2, the COG and so on. It feels more punchy and organic. And the bad tracking in the lower registers IMO is a false question because I always felt that using it on lower notes only muddies the sound.

quite right about the Tritonlab jFet......I've also used it with my SS/BS Mini and a PPB.......I've been trying to find a low drive, mid drive pedals but every one I've tried sounds great so I've been switching back and forth every week or so till I find the right combo so that I can finally finish my board and sell what pedals I don't use......so far I'm not getting anywhere very soon....lol
Don't have to be sorry about saying "guy" instead of "gal", not too many of us here......
Always a curse when you start collecting good drive pedals, hard to let them back into circulation. Then again there is the odd case of @johnk_10 and the strange thing that dogs do at night.
I think John goes further than collector status... whatever the upgraded version if that is hah!
Ok this is the final version I think. Compact and built for tone.
I need to spend a little more time with it. I like it initially but need to try it with a few different Basses. Taking it to my gig with FOH support tomorrow night.
Intriguing board! Can you tell me how you use the Harmonist and the Freeze?
The Harmonist I use as a momentary whammy effect that rises slowly to an octave up and then falls quickly when I let go. The freeze I use for continuous noise in my bands set in between songs so we can tune with out talking haha.
