Even an old-school roots-to-rock guy like yours truly can find a use for this hybrid beast; it's an (analog) klone and a (digital) polyphonic octave generator; it can read and pitch shift more than one note at a time without making a gonkulator noise, so it's inherently more musical than a vintage octave divider or frequency doubler. I have approximately six octave fuzzes, (from the EHX Lizard Queen to the Jam Pedals Octaurus-both recommended!) all of which have the latter feature, some make it available without the fuzz, so I'm well-acquainted with the particular noises they make. This is different, (and better) but you can hear that in the demos. Poly octave pedals are a great organ-like sound, but you can get them cheaper than you can get this, from the same company and in about five different formats and sizes.(in fairness, the bigger ones are LESS affordable, but have way more controls and more sounds) You can get a Soul Food by its lonesome pretty cheaply, too. (and it's a great overdrive for bass, as well as guitar) So the question becomes, "Is the juice worth the squeeze?" I'll cut to the chase and discuss the value added; what you're buying is a switch to instantly change the order of the pedals AND crucially, a buffered effects loop in between them. With these two features, you can let your imagination run wild with the routing possibilities. Now, I was able to snag this unit at a promotional price almost two C-notes south of the current one. I'd pay full boat for this, (and possibly also an EHX B9 and Lex) if I were playing any sort of churchy situation. And for studio work, it's still a pretty good value. ONE caveat; this pedal will likely sound VERY weak, without a buffer, in front, regardless of the position of the 'order' switch. (I think it's probably fine with active pickups, but I did not test) Half a star deducted, cuz it's a bit spendy, now and half for the lack of a buffered input. But it still sounds great.

I was in the market for an octave pedal and a klon clone. I bought it right away. Sounds great. I run a compressor before it and to me the octave sounds better with the compressor on.

This pedal is great. The organ tones. The overdrive by itself is worth the price tag.

Well regular pog cost $! No brainer ! This is an awesome pedal bass , 12 string and organ all at your fingertips!!! Plus's soul food overdrive!!! Hello I bought too! Thank you ! Ray Gonzalez your is SW best salesman and loves his job ! you can tell by his mannerism ! Thank you sweetwater!

This is a cool pedal! I've tried it (POG side) with my acoustic guitar and acoustic amp, and it comes very close to a 12 string with some tweaking on the octave knobs. And I have sort of a stereo setup with my electric (Spark 40 and Cab and all its effects, and a Behringer bass amp with the SoulPog) and it gives me drive and the 12 string sound. Fun to experiment, even with my bass guitars! Thanks to Sweetwater, as always!

I got this thing on a huge discount deal, not really knowing if it would end up on my board. It's so much fun to play around with! Fatten up your tone or get outright nutty with it. Moving it in the chain can get some pretty cool results. Needless to say, it's staying in the mix!

I'm not a octave pedal aficionado, so I don't have experience or have a history with octave pedals to compare this to, but this pedal does track really well, and it sounds huge! I'm also not a huge fan of fuzz, so this combo, with an overdrive (vs a fuzz) made sense for me. Years ago, I did a Klon-clone shootout, and the Soul Food hung in there with the best of them (Tumnus, Centavo, etc.). I know some really dive deep into the Klon comparisons, but I primarily play live and with a fair amount of gain, so some of those details get washed out in a stage mix. At any rate, it's super fun to play, and for the price, it's a no-brainer.

I'm kind of a cheap pedal junkie so this was a big purchase. First off the overdrive side of this thing is now one of my favorite overdrives. I have an dod, tube screamer, a crayon, etc. Sound great and is actually quiet. The octave gen side is worth every cent. I was using a cheap behringer before, I'll probably never use it again. There's a ton of adjustments to be had and I've even dialed it to where I have decent sound with power chords. You can even flip a switch to change the order of the to pedals just like you could if you bought them separately and swapped their placement on your pedal board. Play with it on a clean or dirty channel of your amp. Always sounds great. If it ever breaks I'll buy another one that day.

I've had the original POG and I've wanted a trimmed down version for a while. I've also wanted to try the would food. This thing went on sale for $ and I jumped on it. Great purchase. It has all the routing options you need. Both sides of the pedal sound great.

So much fun. Love this pedal. It's so easy to get a ton of different tones with it.

I use it for a Royal Blood-type setup... sounds aaaaamaaaaaazing + is very versatile

Simply amazing.
