Cheaper substitute for MICRO POG?
.. and hopefully do a decent job on tracking notes? A simple polyphonic octave pedal

While I like their ana echo and the boost, I'm still not convinced yet about their pitch box/pure octave, anyone tried it before?

I've got a pitch box and while it doesn't sound amazing it works well in the effects loop of other pedals and seems to track well too.

I like both of the Mooer's quite a bit. They're not a big part of my sound though. If I used them front & centre, I might want something with more tonal control.

Re: Cheaper substitute for MICRO POG?
i bought a pitchbox on a whim(added to cart last minute) as i was more interested in the flangermistress...
really like the pitchbox for my octave up/down needs. i dont really have any issues with tracking.
it doubles as a nice faux chorus too.

Re: Cheaper substitute for MICRO POG?
it's weird that not many companies making pog clones out there, I bet it'll sell real well if they do it correctly. Despite my big love to the old dmm and the hazarai that I had few years back, I'm not a fan of ehx's, especially their QC. And the micro pog is too expensive and a bit too big for my pt-mini, but dat shit sounds good

The lag is what keeps me interested!

I love those demos of the organizers. But yeah, the lag bugged me a bit and not really going for that sound, I'm looking for a simple straight forward poly octaver to fatten up some riffs and solo

A used Micropog.
Seriously. This is your only option. Micropog sounds awesome and nothing else that is cheaper comes close.

That's what I use mine for. Have lower octave at max with a hint of upper and choir and it just sounds like... I dunno, awesome.

You're not gonna find digital polyphonic octavers that do octave up much cheaper than the MicroPOG...I tried...now, if you don't mind analog, you can get a Mutron Octave Divider clone from BYOC for like 70-80 (Can't remember.). You just need to know how to use a soldering iron and stick components in a PCB...or know someone that does. I think T-Rex makes a "clone" of the old Octave Divider, as well. I've heard good things about it.
But if you really want a POG, just wait on a used MicroPOG. I got one from GC in the used section for 120, still had the box and literature, even all the DVD's.

Re: Cheaper substitute for MICRO POG?
If you want cheap, the Behringer US600 is polyphonic when you're in pitch shifter mode (but not in harmony mode), and it can do 1 or 2 octaves up and down. The guitarist in my covers band uses one all the time, and it actually tracks really well. And the balance knob acts as a wet/dry mix. The only thing you can't do with it is have both an octave up AND an octave down at the same time.
I know that people tend to shit on Behringer, but the shifter is actually a pretty good pedal.
