You know the pedal's good when Andre is making a review out of it

Outside of 5ths, stereo, and MIDI, my POG2 has a similar vibe and its such an inspirational little box. Im with you, 2 or 3 good presets and im happy

Great sounds! Reminds me of an Ensoniq keyboard I had in the early 90's. Always a great video. Peace and Thanks!

Perfect peek! For mentioned others things in the future, I'd love to learn from you, if the POG3 can be used as a pitch shifter. Different tunings as presets, semi tones all the way up and down, how many octaves, latency, dealing with fast playing, pitch accuracy, latency...High hopes for this one and thx for always great and relatable content!

I love when anyone crafts an electric guitar sound out of the ordinary!

I agree with specific effects concerning the AF3. Can't lie I love my ehx pedals.

Great video and review, this pedal is amazing

[simonpark]

Those sounds were interesting, and obviously inspiring as well. Thanks for another great video.

I learn alot from watching you man. As a 17 beginner guitarist sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated on my journey: but you bring me right back, helping me put the fun back in it and encourage me in a way

Even when I’m watching ur videos on guitars I won’t be able to afford in 3 lifetimes like the strandbergs it’s always good fun😅

Nice demo! I was persuaded to get one at Guitarfest - not really planning to LOL. It was those Metheny-esque tones that persuaded me to keep it - I found it very musical and expressive. Have you explored the filters? I have a little bit and there seems to be some real power there to sculpt the tones. My only little niggle is that my guitar setup live is not ‘true’ stereo so I might decide to relegate it to studio use. Also, it looks like you have a Tech-21 amp there. Which one? I have a Trademark 10.

I hope this new pedal means the prices on POG2s will come down. I want one!

This pedal is basically an up to date “Hog 2” for those who missed out on that release when it came out

If I’m not mistaken Kurt uses the Hog 2 for his signature sound!

[stevewilson]

Wow!!! That's some wild sound for a guitar!!!! Love it!!!

[flufficornss]

love the guitar faces in the intro demo it really had you feeling the tone it sounded great too :D

[thesmellycatjazz]

Kinda reminds me of some of the tones i hear from Metheny and Rosenwinkel.

[ChrisBrown-oobf]

so cool!!!! First time I have heard that sound in a pedal I could understand. Great playing.

[riccampbell]

Agreed on the pitch shifting/octavers built into most modelers - from the git-go I've had a Pog2 on my board with my Helix.

[Metro_Gnome]

It does everything my GR 55 and steel Godin multiac steel do in tandem. that's really cool, I understand the excitement you felt there ..I felt the same thing with the 'skat pack' patch on my Roland last spring. Happiest moment of the year was just noodling around with synth sounds

*If you've never played a GR55 and a Multiac steel SA specifically ..you don't know. I get none of the 'accidental notes' everyone that crticizes the GR55 talks about. I can imagine that being annoying...but with 11s on a steel string telecaster...Ive never noticed. Less string noise on a steel tele... Just play clean and it won't do anything you don't want it to

[philliphanford]

That would sound very much like a violin with a volume swell. I landed one of those Strandberg Essentials and I approve of this message!😄

Hi Andre!

It's been a while since I left a comment, so I just wanted to come by and say hello. I still watch and like everything that you put out, I just don't spend as much time on the keyboard anymore.

The POG is an interesting and versatile unit, I remember trying it out. It wasn't for me, but I could certainly see how someone else would do really cool things with it. I like a stripped-down signal chain personally. The less that I have to step on, the better generally speaking. I only use two pedals. A BOSS tuner and a fuzz. I don't even bother with a pedalboard. The pedals are just on the floor going into the front of my amp. I have an FX loop, but I don't use it because I don't want to add modulation or anything else. Then it becomes another additional signal chain that I have to buy and run cables for and power. Having said that, my amp has a 6 (!!!!) button footswitch. Five of which I'm likely to use on any given session. So it's like having a full-on pedalboard in and of itself.

Speaking of my amp...

I used your Sweetwater link to order some preamp tubes for it. I hope it shows up for you.

I hope all is well man. Cheers Andre! ✌
