Many thanks for your positive comment, it's much appreciated! We'll pass this on to Gary.

Thanks Justin I am really pleased you found the video helpful.

Glad you like the Justice setting Joch! Using this with overdrive would depend on what you have in the voice mix. There is scope for distortion before, or after, if you are using very little square wave / octave / sub oct and just the guitar signal. So you could apply envelope filter sweeps and settings to the overdrive. Personally I would try both before and after but you will probably have most success with overdrive after. As a general rule in pedal chains, apply any EQ before you do anything else. BUT you should experiment as filter based pedals can also sound cool after distortion. Personally I have found that overdrive in conjunction with the Micro Synth is too much i.e. the signal just clips and you lose power. Having said that there are so many variables which can affect the sound so with the right tweaking - pickups / gain / tone etc, and perhaps a solid state amp rather than a valve amp, you could get some cool sounds.

Gary Clinton thanks so much, you just solved my mind...

Any chance you remember what time in the video the setting is?

100% never ever sell this! Rarely a day goes by that I don't regret selling mine...

@@Garyclintoncomposer it's a pretty awesome pedal

Check Gary's later video in this playlist where he shows you exactly how the pedal board and the pedals are hooked up. Cheers

Thanks Christian, great tip and worth a try!

Guitar and Music Institute it's weird, but it works wonderfully.

Sorry for incredibly slow reply on this I just noticed there were questions! So you've prob found out by now they are different. This biggest difference is the Pog is polyphonic meaning it tracks more than one note so you can potentially play chords. It doesn't have the 'sweep section either but it does have a LP filter. It also has more voices to play with. The Pog2 has more voices again and it has a low pass filter with 'Q' setting and you can save presets.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that Gary describes limited use with chords but it's discussed later in the video...

You can use the square wave as simply a fuzz. Works best with single line lead stuff / riffs. You can almost get away with it with power chords. It's not very defined for chords with more than 2 notes.
