Dry out/effect outs are especially useful for synth pedals. You can send the dry out to sort of a normal dirt pedal chain and a tuner, and send the effect out to a bunch of other weird pedals to be processed and then mix them together later. That way it’s almost like you can play two instruments with your guitar at once.

On your Micro Pog, imagine sending the dry guitar signal through a Big Muff, and the wet guitar signal through a tremolo, some chorus, and some reverb. So on one side you’ve got a normal fuzz sound, on the other side you’ve some shimmery spacey thing going on.

Some people also like to have a blend pedal blend between wet and dry, and you can plug the wet and dry into that.
