Hope this is working by the time I get my Micro POG next week!
It’s too late for the other pedals (I live in Mexico, so postal service was NEVER an option), but I still have some EHX to go
Oh yeah, I actually have the Maxed point in the pedal since I don’t like the phasey/RingMod sound it makes.
I’ll try the “0 Depth” setting and see how it goes. Thanks!
Micropog isn’t, the reason it isn’t (probably) is so the dry signal when on can be identical to your dry signal when off…. ie if you turn the ‘dry’ up and leave the octaves right down on the pedal when you click the switch there will be no difference.
And that right there is the reason why I’m getting one this Christmas
In this video (Made by my local EHX dealer) he puts it AFTER a Tone Wicker and it still tracks amazingly. It’s the wonders of Digital stuff, that’s maybe why I loved the Stereo Electric Mistress’ Chorus above all the others I tried: It tracks all the way down to a low D… And sounds f**king WICKED with a fuzz or two thrown into her (Double team!)
Only drawback from adding a Speaker Sim here would be that it’d lose a part of the market. Bassists and Keyboardists usually go through a D.I. and out to the PA, no EQ but the pure tone of the instrument. Adding a SpkrSim (specially a GUITAR SpkrSim) would ruin the Headphone AMP for them and it’d go to Guitarists only.
EHX recently just found a good market on Bassists or they wouldn’t of released 5~7 pedals finally tailored for bass. I’m just putting out there what I’d of thought of if I were Mike Mathews… which I wish I were
I must say as a proud owner of he Stereo Pulsar that it all depends on what you’re trying to do with the effect. The SP might not have the grit of tubes, but it isn’t sterile or cold at all; it has all the analog sound you’d want.
I think the Stereo Pulsar can get some experimental sounds since it’s maxed on Depth near 1:30 and after that it gives a weird phaser/ring mod kind of sound while the wiggler is more smooth and refinate. Both can pull a really sweet tremolo though, so I’d say you match both with your guitar at the stora and see what you like as of Versatility, Tone and whatever you wanna achieve with the effect.
As for the return… I think I’ll keep it.
I played around with the Nano Clone for a while and decided I’m for it. In the future I will pickup the neo clone and small clone and decide which one suits my needs best, I’ll probably sell the others.
thanks for the help!
Definitely! The Nano Clone is the black sheep outta the Clone Family. The Neo clones is really close to the Small Clone and I’d recomend it if you’re not thinking about tweaking the Small Clone (Since it has bigger components you can “customize” it’s sound to your liking). Specially because of the footprint.
I tried my rythm guitarrist’s. I didn’t really like it one bit
It’s not bad, but it’s just too soft for me. I need a rather extreme, wet effect since I also use pedals on bass and sometimes keyboards, so this one just didn’t cut it.
I have to say, though, that it doesn’t have the volume drop the discontinued version had on the Phaser mode. If you’re after a slight modulation this might be your cup o’tea.
efe_ghallagher, thanx for your post. It isn’t long, it’s accurate!!!
Por cierto: la verdad es que soy eXpañ±ol, y nos hubiésemos entendido mejor en castellano o mexicano.
Tu banda suena cojonuda. Rock añ±ejo, contundentey bien hecho!!!
Pñ¡sate algñºn dña por bajistas.org que es una web españ±ola (abierta a todos los latinos, por supuesto!) dedicada al mundo del bajo.
Un saludo y gracias!!!
Me lo imaginé, pero como el forum es en inglés y asñ como yo di con él por Google, no dudo que haya muchas personas que no hablen españ±ol y lleguen por acñ¡ a intentar acabar con su duda. Simplemente aportando mi granito de arena
Gracias por el comment sobre mi banda
I just fidddled around like an hour comparing the Octave Multiplexer and a Micro POG on a P-bass (I use a Stingray, but I couldn’t take it to the shop that day). I also threw in the Bass Muff I was buying at that very moment.
The sound of the Multiplexer is YUMMIELICIOUS!! Its analog, dirty, sub-bass octave sound is really great! Both with the Sub Switch on and off it tracks really well and sounds awesome. Only problem I found is that it can’t go below a normal B note. It does well as far as a C, but anything below that it starts glitching and going mad. I’d of bought it had I not have like three dirt boxes to take care of already getting that “dirty sub-bass sound”
The Micro POG, on the other hand, is as clean as a whistle! Tracks on the spot all the way down to a dropped-D tuning (In this case it was the amp that couldn’t handle the note). On all of the YouTube vids I had found the upper octave sounded thin and fake, and it does! However, if you mix just a little bit of it (I never got it past 1 o’clock) you can make sure you’ll NEVER get lost in the mix. The sub-octave doesn’t sound quite like your original tone, but if you keep your dry signal at input level it’s hardly noticeable (And I bet in a band situation nobody will notice it). Bothsound rather good with the Muff in front of them, but the Multiplexer gets quite muddy (after all, it sounds dirty by itself) whilst the M-POG just fattens up your sound. As I knew on my last post I’ll save up for the Micro POG.
Hope my extensive post helps in any way
PS: Check out my band, I use a lot of EHX effects in our songs (Mostly live, but still )
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
