I purchased this pedal for three main reasons
(1) I wanted an octave down pedal that reproduced a straightforward one octave lower sound, without adding or subtracting loads of different EQ (I didnt want extra growl, grunt, dirt or any other options, just a 'clean' octaver)
(2) I wanted a small pedal that fitted on my small pedal board, and that ran off my existing power supply chain (9v boss standard)
(3) I wanted the ability to blend dry signal as required to get the right levels
The fact this pedal also has a octave up was a bonus!
Well Im pleased to say the pedal delivered on every count. I was very impressed with the build quality - and the footswitch is the quietest and best operating one Ive seen (in fact some people may miss not a having a big reassuring 'click' when pressing - personally I though it was great)
The octave up and down, and dry signal, can all be blended to give you the desired sound and output level. I was surpised just how much the octave up can actually add to the overall depth and fullness of the sound.
I cant compare this pedal to the original POG or the micro POG as Ive never used them. However I can recommend this pedal. It has become one of the few pedals that will be a permanent fixture on my pedal board.
