GazWills Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 so I've been close to getting an EHX microsynth a few times recently, then I looked into the POG2 in more detail, and think it might be a better shout. Aside from better tracking, and presets, it can still do volume swells, and has a filter (I only ever set the two filters together on the microsynth anyway)... on my board with a few dirt pedals either side of it, I think it'll do the job nicely... has anyone got / tried a POG2, any thoughts/opinions?? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoirBass Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I have a POG2 and used to have a Microsynth - the old 24v version. For me the POG is a different animal, The octave effects in the POG whilst tracking well are digital and much thinner than the MS's octaves. The beauty of the MS is its analog-ness. I personally like a rich analoge octave down for synth things. Just my opinion, that may be what you are after? I would strongly suggest you try both! they both have their pros and cons.

GazWills Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 thanks for commenting... I still have an OC-2 on the board that covers me for octave-down synthy tones... I need to try one, you're right how versatile are the FX elements of the POG2? I'm thinking of running it with a fuzz, potentially also with the OC-2, using the volume swell and the filter sections... cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoirBass Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) TBH it's been a while since I had it on my board, but from memory the lp filter is quite subtle. The Q control acts more as a tone shaper than the q control on a standard envelope filter. The OC2 will certainly take care of keeping things nice and fat.
