Just put up a demo of this pedal. It runs on standard 9v which is nice. Never played a POG, can't say how it compares. Interestingly it did come out a few years before the Organizer.

These guys have a big line of really interesting pedals, seems like lots of custom digital stuff... are they European? You never see them on boards!

I'm not a fan of the polyphonic stuff, but you're doing great video. :thumb:

Sounds more like the Organizer than a POG. Nice demo though.

yeah, i found this guy like a year ago, and theres just SO many useful pedal combinations. and all for comparable prices to boss it looks like.

i've been eying the pitch shifter and the tremolo

That looks great! The chorus sounds pretty good too. What's the price of one? I'm feeling to lazy to look it up on my phone.

They cost 95 euros (110 usd). Most of his pedals are 70-110 euros. The builds are really good - there is a gut shot in the last couple of seconds of the clip. I had this pedal for years and never really used it - like Syl there's just something about polyphonic octaving that doesn't float my boat. So I sold it.

Ryan - this one (and I'm guessing a few others) use the Spin FV-1. I don't think it's custom, rather it's just a clever implementation of the standard FV-1, like the Organizer. The dude is based in Lithuania, I think. Shit, I could be wrong on that - could be Latvia.

You totally should. I've got the big reverb and it's rad. Will have to do a demo some day.

i'm sorry but this big reverb pedal is actually blowing me away

Me likey likey. Apparently there is a new Poly-Octaver (cleverly named the Poly-Octaver 2) which just adds a reverb knob.

How comes you guyz get the cool stuff and we're stuck with Behringer?

goroth · Post by **goroth** » Thu Sep 06, 2012 6:00 pm

Poly Octaver 2 is called that cos it has both chorus and reverb. The other ones are called "poly octaver chorus" and "poly octaver reverb". Catchy...

I haven't tried his analog stuff, over at FSB his fuzzes have been totally lambasted, but the dsp stuff is freaking awesome. The big reverb is a permanent fixture on my board. Awesome. And the poly octaver was nice, I just can't deal with lag so I got rid of it. (Not getting an organizer because of the same reason).

Gearmond · Post by **Gearmond** » Thu Sep 06, 2012 8:15 pm

oh wow, that big reverb is like... wow. i was thinkin about getting the Wet reverb (lol ocean board) but this is makin me think otherwise.

and isn't lag really only an issue if you're being all weedly?
