    hey guys, 1st post here.

    since the micro synth is an octave + filter-based pedal, am i able to do what the micro synth do with a pog2 and riddle?

    planning to build a board for experimental stuff and i can’t justify having the pog2, riddle and micro synth on board. was thinking that i won’t miss much of the micro synth when using the pog2 and riddle together.

    since we are at it, what should the pedal placement like?

    thanks!

    The micro synth isnt at all like the other pedals. the microsynth creates synth like sounds, the pog 2 can get like organ, 12 strinig guitar, 18 string guitar i think, bass sounds and stuff like that, and the riddle is and envelope filter wah pedal. the octaves on the microsynth sound nothing like a pog and the filter section of the microsynth controls the start and stop frequency and the rate and resonance which isnt really like the riddle. and neither the pog 2 or the riddle have a square wave thing like the microsynth. i don’t know much about the pog2 and the riddle so i hope i helped :)

    Functionally a POG2, Riddle, and a fuzz can do everything a microsynth can, but it won’t sound like a microsynth.

    Bluesteel, I think you’re wrong about the Riddle. . .

    since it has attack and decay controls as well as start/stop- you can do those synth sweeps on it.

    I’m currently wondering if I should get a Riddle or a Microsynth.

    i was thinking that the attack/decay and start/stop might be like the microsynth filter section, but wasn’t sure about it.

    The microsynth is a great pedal, but the riddle seems ridiculously awesome after seeing the jack conte vid. i think you should go with the riddle.

    the main difference i can see is that the pog2’s attack controls would conflict with the riddle’s envelope sensitivity, unless you ran the riddle before the pog2, in which case it wouldn’t even come close to the sound you’re after.
