Do you still use your POG with your steel? When do you use it? Song, type music, etc.?
I still haven't bought one and just not convinced I want/need it. Certainly a cool effect but is it useful?
thanks

You can dial in a good organ effect.

I switched to the Sub'n'Up Octaver because it was simpler to use. The POG can do a lot more if you program it correctly, but the bottom line was that I didn't need anything but simple octaves to get the organ tones. I use a Strymon Lex or the H&K Rotosphere for the rotating speaker.

It would be nice to have an octaver and a rotary effect in the same box. Some multi effect units can be programmed for that, but their octavers generally aren't very good. The Sub'n'Up and the POG 2 are both excellent for polyphonic octave generation.

I use the organ effect when there isn't an keyboard in the band, or when the keyboard player is playing piano. It's most useful in rock and blues.

The Tone Print feature on the the Sub'n'Up allows you to add a lot more effects including modulation. Check out this video at 5:00:

I use my POG micro for a couple of things. Root and +1 for some 12-sting picking, then just the -1 for some single note effects. I don't use it for an organ FX since I find the EHX B9, a wah pedal and the Neo Vent II to be most convincing for B3.

Thanks for your replies - all interesting. I watched the video and also found this one:

To me, the POG is a very cool sounding pedal but limited in terms of practical application. I wound up buying a used Rumble Seat pedal by Analog Alien.

Nice overdrive, echo and the most musical modulation I have heard with reverb. It is almost a pedal board in a pedal. Expensive pedal so I was glad to find a used one!
