    Hi All –

    I’m new to the forum, and I just want to say how great it is to see so many interesting/useful posts on effects! I’m considering buying a Micro POG, but before I do, I have a question. Does anyone know how I could go about using an octave pedal to only effect the bottom e and a strings on my guitar? Basically, I want the top four strings un-effected (then sent through reverb/delay) and I only want the bottom two to have the octave effect.

    I really don’t want to alter my guitar with a new pickup, and maybe I should consider running a bass amp along with my guitar amp, but I wanted to explore this idea first. Thanks for reading!

    I think the Boss OC-3 does something like that.

    Some other multi-effects(Boss) can do similar things.

    Otherwise you would have to have some sort of special pickup and different guitar outputs going into different pedals and amps.

    Well what I’d do in that case would be to have the Micro POG going to a bass amp with an EQ with the higher frequencies all turned down as low as possible, possibly with some boost on the bass frequencies you want.

    Then going to your guitar amp you have all the other stuff you want.

    Both sound like very valid solutions. I’d prefer to go with the POG, but the OC-3 has this much-needed feature built right in. I’m hoping to demo both this weekend. If the boss works, I may go for that, as it is less expensive and would save me from buying an eq pedal.

    Thanks again!

    Overall the POG2 is a better pedal. But doesn’t have that specific feature (for only A&E strings)

    And to be honest I wiped out all boss pedals out of my pedalboard. But that’s just me! :metal:

    Have you tried the Morpheus DropTune? I’m not sure if it can do what you’re looking for, but I think it might indeed
