No, I haven’t used the original POG.

Regarding the Q button, yes, I can tell quite a difference actually. It does have less an effect on an amp that is breaking up though – I am using the pedal with a clean setting on my amplifier.

I’m using with a Rickenbacker through a kinda through a small cheap Vox VT amp.

What is your chain that you are using the POG2 with?
