HOG:

Voices: -2, -1, original, +5th, +1, +1 + 5th, +2, +2 + 3rd, +3, +4
footswitchable 2 band Attack Decay Volume Envelope control
Low pass filter with Q.
Expression modes: octave bend, step bend, volume, wah, filter, freeze gliss, freeze volume

POG2:
Polyphonic

other stuff: detuning for +octaves or + and original octaves, built in presets

Microsynth:
Monophonic

1 band attack volume control
attack filter with controllable start/stop and sweep speed

to sum it up:

the main draw of the POG2 is that it’s polyphonic, has basic voices, built in presets, and a simple volume attack control and filter with detuned settings. Makes for good organ and other type sounds.

The main draw of the HOG is the multitude of the voices, the expression mode, and the much more versatile volume attack decay control.

The main draw of the Microsynth is the fat analog synth like sound (and many analog synths were monophonic) mixed with the awesome awesome filter. There aren’t any pedals out there that do what the Microsynth’s filter does. Most filter pedals don’t really have smooth sweeps, and they die out when your volume dies out. But the Microsynth filter is only triggered by your attack instead of following it, so it doesn’t have those sometimes bothersome quirks.

Caution- 2880 is Center Positive (reverse polarity)

I wouldn’t even really say Bowie ever totally reinvented himself. It was sort of a gradual progression from one thing to another.

Now the Beastie Boys. . . they totally reinvented themselves

I’d say Guy and Brendan as well because they were in Rites of Spring, Happy Go Licky, and One Last Wish (which I like more than Minor Threat personally.)

Steve Albini comes to mind- Shellac, Big Black, Rapeman.

Jeff Pezzatti and Santiago Durango- Big Black, Naked Raygun

Bob Weston- Volcano Suns, Mission of Burma, Shellac

Peter Prescott- Volcano Suns, Mission of Burma

I can think of a ton.

How about Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook- Joy Division and New Order

Could you indicate what you have and what you don’t have and what you’re going for?

that’s how I do it
