i'm 99.99% sure that it isn't. I've seen both these
guys play, and whatever Jason plays through (if it
isn't the Boss OC-2 pedal) to get octaves doesn't look
anything like the POG, or sound like it, imo. of
course Wade and Jason have different tone, different
approaches, etc, but to my ears, (and my eyes - i look
at people's gear, natch) it isn't the same device. the
POG has an amazingly "real" sound (meaning, it doesn't
sound synthetic, digital, what-have-you). more so than
any other octave device i've heard. of course, it can
sound otherworldly what with all the detuning etc you
can do. Wade really does get some unbelievable sounds
out of it. makes that Sarusaphone in his band sound
like a kazoo. ok, i'm hyperbolating a bit... anyway,
Jason's on the list i think - he can tell us if it's a
POG or not.
