The Great Wall of Sound

[technicoloraudio]

Was about to get an Octron 2, but am now considering a Whammy V into an EHX micro pog for even bigger thrills.

The criticism I hear of each is their tone suck and digital sound, but running through a bunch of dirt and modulation, I barely care. I'm not questing for tone, but hate excess noise.

I'm kind of a simpleton but would appreciate divided octave polyphony.

not sure what the question is
but hell yeah
i think the octron 2
goes up and down simultaneously
but prob isnt polyphonic
ive tried the micro pog
and wasnt super impressed
but heard good things bout the big pog
check out the rainbow machine and ps6
i remember seein somethin with sliders
at one point
is there a pedal called"the great divide"?
wait i just read your thing there again
do you have a micro pog already?

[Casavettes]

yeh i'm a little unsure what the question is as well..
but an organizer came to mind when reading this

[ryan summit]

rainbow machine is what
organizer+ delay or reverb
is the organizer expressionable
goin for the wall of sound
verb cant hurt right
r.m. is another one i should have tried at ilfnem
i blew my chance to try shit out

[Casavettes]

organizer doesn't have expression, rainbow machine does though.

dude,
I ran whammy 4 into POG and then Pog2 for a long time and flipping loved it, definately great for feeding into dirt, not as sterile and digital as you would think

replaced the pog2 with and organizer and liked it but not quite the same
using the Mooer Pure octave and whammy now and that is a flipping beast
pushes a fuzz war like a swamp monster

I love the POG2. I know people who complain about it sounding "sterile" or "digital," but as far as I'm concerned, it's the best there is at what it does right now. Different dirt will react to it differently - some pedals just don't like it, in my experience, while others just sing. For example, my B:assmaster typically reacts poorly and gets excessively harsh/squeally, while my Buzzaround takes it like a champ (TWCS).

pog2 is awesome
so was the pog and organizer
OC3 is also good if you don't care about octave up

Really liking the mooer pure octave
I realized I was only using the pog2 in a very limited way so the pure octave does everything I need it too

JRMY is right as well that it depends on the dirt, muff style stuff usually sounds great but sometimes you have to dial back the gain Rats to me sound brittle in a bad way

I am also out of back to the future jokes which makes me sad

Every octave pedal is going to sound pretty inorganic. After all, you're asking it to do things guitars shouldn't do on their own. They're also going to have some noise, but it depends as much on the rest of your rig.
Pog2 does a ton if you don't need the whammy feature. The attack and detune makes it much more usable than others IMO. Presets are a plus.
Whammy is good if you only want to use one octave effect at a time. Haven't played the V, but the IV needed to be reconfigured every time I powered it up.
If you want both features you might want to look into the new Hog2 or even an original. That might be cheaper in the long run.

The secret weapon on the EHX Ring Thing is a straight up polyphonic pitch shifter with some of the best tracking I've found. It's the ONLY reason I use it.

damn^
right there
you just made me want that
im not sure i understand why
someone would go boss OC
and not PS
the ps 6 got up down and all around
takes expression
goes both ways at once
the fuckin s bend is a trip
its not fully polyphonic though
only a couple settings are
but it sounds fuckin badass
there
i got it all out of my system
im gonna end up beatin someones face in
with the goddamn thing someday
tryin to say how awesome it is
FUCKIN PS6 GODDAMMIT TO HELL!!!

[skullservant]

I really dug how with the PS-5 the highs and lows could be split with the outputs. That was rad

OC and PS are such different animals

OC is the Wilda-beast to the PS gazelle

Really liking the mooer pure octave

Details please. Seems like one of the cheapest octavers around and if it works fine, im down!
