[Harp-L] Octave effect

[dennis moriarty <dmoriarty@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I actually own Chris's old POG which I bought from another harp player  
who bought it from him. I can tell you (while taking into  
consideration my 5 % of the talent of Chris) that the POG doesn't have  
the breath of Chris's HOG sample but it is fun and pretty large  
sounding and a bit cheaper than the HOG. I have two humble examples on  
my linked Myspace site. The first is the 4th song down "Live at  
Scotland Yard", and the 2nd is the final 6th song "Big Beef". Both  
performances were spontaneous. Neither are quality recordings. And  
"Big Beef" has some poor instrumentation. What I can tell you is the  
POG (my settings are on the subtle side) is an audience pleaser. It  
catalyzes "How did you get that sound" questions with a smile pretty  
frequently. Since I tend to play through vintage stuff these day:  
(Magnavox and Premier) each amp seems more or less suitable for a POG.  
The examples you hear me play on are all Mini-Meteor examples. One guy  
visiting from Germany who authors a harp related blog and was dealing  
Seydels when he came to a jam I play at bought a Mini-Meteor and a POG  
as soon as he came home. The POG through my 1955 8" speaker Magnatone  
really has some balls! My best. d
