    I bought a POG2 to add fullness to the sound of my Yamaha APX-9NA nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar. Can’t get a decent sound, as the POG2 seems to degrade the overall sound, even with minimal settings on the POG2. I’m just adding a bit of +1 octave, not trying to make it sound like a 12-string or anything. I run into a Peavey Ecoustic 112 amp that produces a good acoustic sound without the POG2. I’m not good with guitar processors. Any ideas for settings on the POG2 or my overall setup that might help?
    Thanks,

    I tried my micropog with an electro-acoustic (steel strung/undersaddle transducer) and it didn’t really work either but I’ve heard others say they used one with acoustic, so i’m a bit stumped to be honest, I could never get it to sound any good…. it might have something to do with the type of pickup/transducer the guitar is fitted with.

    Thanks for the quick reply. My guitar combines a B-band undersaddle pickup w/ an internal mic. As I said, it produces a pretty decent acoustic sound straight into my acoustic amp. Based on your and my experience, maybe the POG2 just isn’t suited for use with an acoustic-electric guitar.

    Since my earlier post, I got some help in another forum to set up my POG2 for acoustic-electric guitar. Advice was to use the LP filter and dry effect controls to put the effected signal in the background of the dry signal – pretty basic stuff for electric players, no doubt, but it wasn’t obvious to me, an acoustic player. It worked very well. I now have some +1 octave and -1 octave filling out the sound – nice.
