this is unlikely…

if it were indeed a digital, POG combined with a fuzz it would end up expensive – it would have to cost more than the Micro POG so it wouldn’t take sales away from that… which would probably price it out of the reach of most potential customers…
unless EHX were to discontinue the Micro POG (which would no doubt upset quite a lot of people).

if it were a fuzz with an analogue, monophonic octaver that would be more viable… something along the lines of the Foxrox Octron but combined with a Muff fuzz/overdrive would be pretty cool.

it IS possible (Korg Pitchblack definitely, not so sure about the Polytune as it looks a little bigger) but it wouldn’t be easy and i don’t really see the point.

i think the Germanium OD is a great pedal; most people are most aware of it for the nasty, garagey tones, but even subtle settings add a new element to your sound.
i often used mine at round about unity gain on a clean setting for the slight compression it has, and also because it imparts a nice ‘vintage’ quality to your tone.

oh, ok, i was just wondering because when people try to recreate doubling effect live by micing amps in a certain distance from each other, they usually use really shorter tims… whatever i believe you

Well The Edge does it, doesn’t he? also John Petrucci was talking about it… whatever, just saying what i heard i must say – i don’t have any experience with other than real double tracking

from what i understand, the use of multiple microphones to capture a sound source (maybe with very short delays applied to reduce/remove phase issues) is NOT the same as automatic double tracking.

not true.

for example, i have an old Digitech PDS-2715 dual pedal with distortion and chorus.
the chorus part of it is one of the best chorus sounds i’ve ever heard… yet it is a digital effect. i would not even have known it was digital if i hadn’t read the manual.

i’ve used some terrible sounding analogue delays and some great sounding digital ones.

i’m never concerned whether a pedal/effect is digital or analogue; i’ll try it and THEN make up my mind.

i’m not even adverse to using distortion/fuzz – i’ll give it a go; i’m not going to rule things out on (misguided) principal.

tell that to Electro-Harmonix!

in all honesty, knowing EHX delay pedals the stated delay time may not be EXACT, but 40-50ms seems about right to me; less than that and it may sound more (comb-)filtered than doubled.

fwiw, i’ve got a rack delay unit where the ‘Doubling’ mode goes up to 225ms… and a chorus pedal with 56ms of pre-delay (which is great as a doubling effect).

i only remember seeing one on ebay UK in the last few years and i think it sold for around £90-100.

if it’s in good condition then you may get around £100/$150 for it.

there’s one for sale here for $165 which may give you an idea: http://www.studio1525.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1042&osCsid=5e9a8769c8a01eaa8f957f58353fe57a

heavier strings have more sustain and sound ‘better’.

if you’re currently using 9s, then i’d go to 10s on your next string change, then 11s after that – the jump from 9s straight to 11s is probably a bit too much of a change in one go.

i use 12s on my electric guitars.

what kind of guitar(s) do you play?
