    Im curious. Which pedal is best for getting a good, rich Baritone Guitar Sound? The Pog? Or the more expensive pitch shifters in the EH line?

    I like the Micro POG. It really works well and it is simple to use. You can get that octave below sound and throw those chords and it will track well.

    The POG and Micro POG can get your guitar sounding low.

    The HOG though with the octave bend mode can get your guitar to B tuning.

    I wonder if the HOG sounds as good as a B baritone..or close anyway?

    Mine always sounded pretty clean. Especially when you’re dropping the tuning. :D

    If you’re running it through a bunch of distortion, you may not even notice….

    The octave down voice is the best voice on the HOG.

    Octave down. Then use octave bend to bend it up to B tuning!

    Or use only the 5th up slider and bend it DOWN an octave, then you don’t have to worry about bumping the expression pedal. That’s my “I don’t feel like downtuning my Jazzmaster today” trick.

    Wait… you can bend an octave down on a HOG? I’ve owned it for a year and I didn’t know that!!! o.O

    Exp. Reverse in the octave/step modes bends the note down rather than reversing the sweep of the pedal. Took me WAY longer than it should have to figure that out…

    that’s pretty much the point of reverse sweep!
