Well, at least it is for me, since the POG is pretty central to how I play these days. DO WANT!

No doubt - this looks pretty sweet. I love that the new EHX stuff is all daisy-chainable, too...

Cool, is this one going to more or less expensive?

I believe that it's going to be roughly the same as the deluxe POG, so in the $325 range... I could be wrong, but this was based on a quick chat with my local EHX dealer...

Ideally it should cost less since even if it adds featues processing power is a lot cheaper than it was in 2005. But guitar equipment rarely follows this logic and a lot of people who bought the POG1 will feel bummed.

True 'nuff. Not only would POG1 owners feel bummed, so would the marketers at EHX. :picard:

Au contraire. There is in fact a detune slider. The difference with this one is that it affects the detuning on all octaves together

what I like about this is that it looks smaller and more compact than the original, though not as nice aesthetically.

Agreed - I'm not sure how much I'll use the presets, either, but this has a couple of features that I'm really excited about: the smaller form factor, the attack & Q functions, and the (supposedly) even better sound.

Honestly, I would have opted for size convenience and gone with a micro POG a long time ago if they'd had a tone control (the LP filter does that on the big 'uns). But with the attack & Q make it a whole new ball game for this unit for me.

I liked how on the other one you could have two of the octaves detuned, so one is detuned and the other isn't at the same time tho...
I don't really like the XO housing either...

Though presets and -2 octaves are :omg: so I must get one

The lack of detune killed the Micropog for me.
