Yesterday my long awaited Nano POG arrived; well not necessarily the nano POG, but have wanted the micro pog for years and the nano sounded nearly identical in a smaller enclosure for less moolah...
...anyways; I thought I'd power up the pedal, run it through it's paces and make sure it's functional...
HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS AND ALL THAT WILL BE!!! The thing sounded GORGEOUS!!!! I was torn between squeeing like a teenage girl during a Leonardo Dicaprio movie-thon or playing the damn thing (not gonna lie, did a little of both). Bill Rupert of EHX who did the original demo, did some classic rock, ambient stuff but running it into a dirt pedal revealed that the POG CAN DO METAL AND DO IT DARN WELL!!! ...more squeeing ensued. ...and playing.
Sooo a bit over an hour into the playing and the sqeeing thing I thought I should wrap up and call it a night.
All tucked in bed and visions of Nano Pogs went all through my head. Was up at 2am, then again at 3 when I decided to get the pog playing out of my system. Ran it into all the dirt pedals on my board (about 9) and found it it liked the Devi Ever Hyperion and the Vox Saturator the best (the Saturator winning) and I never considered the Vox pedal a "metal" pedal. For a dirt pedal it's very gentleman-like, but having the POG plugged into it's ass end was MAGNIFICENT!!! Played again for about 90 minutes (no squeeing) and then I was ready for bed for 40 minutes of sleep before getting ready for work!
Sooo has anyone here lost sleep over a guitar pedal or am I the oddball?
