Re: [Harp-L] Are the POG and HOG the only good ocatve pedals?

 My only knock on the DigiTech stuff is having to scroll through the patches.  I like how the Line6 floor pods let you save a preset patch and use it as its own stompbox.  That way you can engage the effect when the mood hits you and alternate from song to song.

Is there something like the RP series that has more of a stompbox layout?

The Digitech RP200 and RP250 both have very capable pitch shifters
that track single notes and chords instantly all the way up and down
the harp.  I think the pitch shift effect in general is better in the
RP250, but both sound very good.

What the HOG and POG do that nothing else does is give you multiple
octave doubles at once--up, down, and in multiple registers.  The
Digitech will only do one octave (up or down) at a time.  The
multi-octave effect is very powerful, and still fresh for audiences.

If you're also considering an envelope filter (auto wah), that would
be another point for a Digitech, since the RPs also have a good auto
wah effect (or two in the case of the RP250) in them.
