[Harp-L] re: Is the Micro Pog as good as the Pog

[Jonathan Ross <jross38@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To answer the subject line, it would appear that the micro-POG (to  
use typical synth-geek terms I'll call it the u-POG from here out) is  
simply a cut-down version of the larger pedal.  I would expect the  
effects engine (the basic octaver chip set and coding) to be the same  
as the POG, but they've left out certain features. These would  
include the filter, the second octave set, and the detuned first and  
second octaves.  Also, they've switched to knobs instead of sliders  
(which are slightly more expensive, IIRC).

If you want a simple pedal which does sub and super octaves of the  
signal with excellent polyphonic tracking, the u-POG would seem to be  
a very nice alternative to the larger POG and HOG boxes--especially  
if you're just starting to experiment with octavers and aren't sure  
how much you'll use one.  If you want more options, then the bigger  
ones would probably be a better choice.  Like most similar things  
(such as the MiniMoog) EH has probably put the most used features of  
these units into a smaller, more marketable and portable version.   
And cheaper, of course.

Hope this helps.
