Video Demo Of The New Electro-Harmonix Micro POG

Disclosure Policy | Thu, Oct 18, 2007 | 852 |

Electro Harmonix Micro Pog-2When Electro-Harmonix announced the release of their new effects pedal––essentially a miniaturized version of their incredibly cool polyphonic octave generator––I had to wonder how they were going to replicate the original pedal’s functionality in such a small configuration.

As a dyed-in-the-wool Electro Harmonix fan I came about this close to purchasing the POG on numerous occasions, but the unit’s sheer size and prize always kind of stopped me in my tracks.

Still, the dream of pounding out some badass organ parts on my guitar never really went away, so I’ve been keeping an eye out for a decent demo or review of the new Micro POG in the hopes it could really live up to its predecessor.

As it turns out, the pedal appears to be a perfect match for my pedal board, and the price, while not unsubstantial (hovering just over $200,) makes the unit dangerously attractive. Check it out

    the pedal fiend in me says i gotta have it…but i think i need to sit down and play it in a store first.
    too bad they didnt have any clips with distortion or other effects. im curious how that is gonna affect tracking.

    I’m like you, Cary: want the POG, but the price stops me. When I heard about the Micro POG, I thought “how could they come close to the bigger version, the purpose of the POG is about its thousand settings?”… But it actually sounds pretty cool! I’ll do my best to give it a try.

    that’s one of the neatest video demos i’ve seen. liked it as opposed to having some dude sitting on a chair trying a pedal. i think the POG sounds really cool, although i don’t see any tunes i would use it for in my current gig. so, i’ll have to skip buying it. i loved the bass sounds. nice find.

    The bass sounds are awesome! If it wasn’t so expensive, I’d get it for that alone.

    I agree with IG about how cool the demo style is. Otherwise, I don’t care for that particular effect– reminds me of Lurch on the Addams Family or the organ meanderings of In-A-Gadda-Davida. Maybe it would be useful for Doors covers… Just not my thing. They might have gotten into the octave feature a little more, but hey, EH has other octave effects anyway.
