Awesome - REAL Organ sounds

I love this pedal. I have had it a few days and it far exceeds my expectations. The slider function is so much better than knobs, something they must have figured out with a pedal like this. Being able to save your newly sculpted sounds is great because you will totally forget how you got there with all the possibilities and excitement of making these new sounds. The right side, Attack, LP, and Detune is the icing for making the true hammond sounds, and even more beyond that. Dry FX and Q change things up nicely as you go through different versions of these. Endless and fun. Sounds that can be used live. I love it. No regrets. Plus, the best damn "Basic" octave pedal I have ever used.

Awesome Pedal

I just got one, sounds amazing but make sure you devote a half a day to just messing with all the different sounds you can get out of it, very versatile which can be confusing.

You need a good amp to get a good clear sound though, those low octaves won't sound good coming through a tiny practice amp.

The construction is good as well, like all EHX pedals, it is built tough.

Octave bliss

I was a little hesitant with the price tag on the Pog2 but I'm happy to say it was worth it. Great sounds are easy to program in and save and I enjoy the flexibility much more than the MicroPog or original Pog. Works extremely well for ambient sounds, thickening chords, octave leads, etc. Works great on bass too! - just be careful with that 2nd lower octave - make sure your cabinets and amp can handle it with high volume. The only thing that makes me sweat is the sliders. So far none of the tips have broken but I'm going to continue being careful. This is a pedal that has great sounds but should be used sparingly to taste.

Very happy with purchase,thank you. R.Staskon

Not The Greatest

I owned this for quite a while. It is a great concept, and would excite anyone. But in my opinion very poorly executed idea here. The first thing I expected was to be able to at the least bring the various octave settings to the same level (or close to it) as my dry signal. Nope... Even with each setting pegged at the highest volume it wasn't even close to the dry signal, not even having the dry signal half way up. Just really weak sounding over all. Second, the pedal is glitchy. More than once I had to kick on the preset section just to get the pedal to start working right. The sound with multiple octaves lost all tonal qualities as well. Very muddy, un-defined sound. I like the slider idea, but these ones are weak and can easily be busted. For an over 300 dollar pedal, you should expect flawless. The effects section of this pedal was the only thing I really enjoyed on it. The rest was just disappointing. The last kick in the butt is that this, like most EHX pedals doesn't run off a standard 9V connection, nor takes batteries. You'll need the wall wart that comes with it to run. All in all, not worth it. I'll be on the lookout in the future for a multiple octave generator that runs on 9V and does a much better job than this pedal. True bypass would be nice as well :)

POG2

The Bypass switch is sticky, unpredictible, and requires excessive force to operate.

The sound is muddy. The more notes played at once - two, three, four - the muddier the sound, to the point that it introduces distortion and noise. Clarity is a casualty.

The unit should best not be used on the floor and operated by foot. The case appears fragile and the sliders could be easily crushed with one small misstep. There should be plug outlets for the two foot switch functions.

The user's manual is poor - at best. It should have illustrations and example configurations - for a 12 string, for an 18 string, for organ, etceteras.

The unit is a great concept, poorly executed. Overall quality is poor. This unit is not ready for primetime. It is a terrifically over-priced toy.
