    Hello one more time…and excuse my poor english again.

    This time I need help for one election:

    I have tested in my bass the Octave Multiplexer, and it convinces me, specially for the analogic sound (I dont love the digital sound), but I think the Micro POG will can better than the Oct Multiplexer (at less, in guitar I prefer the micro POG…)

    The question is: The micro POG works fine in bass?

    There are somebody bass player who uses/have used the micro POG?

    There are tone/low end looses?

    The sound is fat?

    Thanks one more time “Electro-Amores”…

    Hello :)
    The micro pog works very well with the bass guitar,
    alot more versatile than the octave multiplexer,
    The sound is very fat.

    Micro POG works flawlessly on bass. I’ve never had a problem with it at all. You dial in the suboctave, add a little fuzz and a little octave up and you’re your own band.

    which pedal is better for a dubby synth octave tone the pog or the multiplexer for bass

    The pog, being digital, tracks better and I think it’s polyphonic, so it can handle more than 1 note at the time. The OM is analog, so it can sound muddyer and more synth-like.

    For dubby synth octave there is a very cool template for the Bass Micro Synthesizer that I think does a better job than the pog or the multiplexer..

    Check this topic for the templates

    Everything SanquiFlerb said is correct but I’d like to add the Ring Thing into the mix. I’m talking about that thing all over this site recently but as I play it more it keeps getting sexier. I just sold a Micropog to get one. The MP is great but I really wanted the RT. Why I think the Ring Thing is better for Dub is because 1) it can do two octaves down and 2) it has a filter. You can get like sub-basement bass sounds and roll the highs off, and of course octave up as well for whammy stuff and mixing board trickery. I love dub. The only thing the MP has over the RT is that you can have all 3 octaves up and get the organ-ish sound. But for me, and for dub, the Ring Thing.

    Now, I’m an user of a Micro POG. Yummmm, I love!

    I try a Octave Multiplexer, and I think two things:

    1-For the bass, and consider the price, I think the Octave Multiplexer it’s enough for obtains an good quality bass octave. At least, for my oppinion, it’s enough the bass octave for the bass, and I don’t need either polifonic sound (in bass)…

    2-If you are a bass player…but you play the guitar too, you found the Micro POG much more versatile for multi purpose uses.

    With the bass, I remove completely the high octave, and with the guitar, I add a little bit (Eleven O’Clock) of high octave. The bass octave and the direct sound always stay at 3 O’clock and 4 O’clock respectively, with the bass and with the guitar. For this, I found the Micro POG more versatile like the Octave Multiplexer, but both are awesome stomp pedals, and concretely, the Multiplexer offers a fat sound like no one (a little bit muddyer, it’s true).

    In relation to the tracking, I found the Micro POG it’s totally impressive…but I think the Octave Multiplexer must more faster than the Micro POG, for the reason of being analog pedal (I think the analogs pedal are fastest. I’m mistaken? Thanks for your wisdom!!!!)

    One more time, excuse my poor english…

    I think digital pedals usually track better. I haven’t played with the Multiplexer but my impression is that it is a one note at a time thing, while the Micropog can do full chords.

    Sorry: I think the trackin it’s about the delay time of the octaved note, and not about the polifonic features.

    Yes: the Micro POG is a polifonic pedal, and the Octave Multiplexer is a monofonic pedal…but I still thinking the analog pedals are faster than the digital pedals.
    And the other hand, yes: it’s true the digital pedals tuning (or catch) better the note, but a little slower, I think. I’m wrong?

    Yup, you’re wrong: Digital pedals track faster BECAUSE they’re digital
    It’s like Analog vs Digital Delays. Analog delays have a diferent sound and can get a “somewhat weird” repeat whilst Digitals give you identical repeats no matter what. Analog octave pedals give you a warmer sound, but they’re prone to glitches because they can’t track more than one note (Or at least i haven’t heard of any polyphonic analog octavier)
    I’m saving money to get a Micro POG because sometimes I use double-stops on bass and the Multiplexer would “scatter” all around if I get it… But I love the sound it gives when “properly” used

    PS: Forgive my abuse of “s
