Hey guys. I'm a noobie to the forum with quite a few pedals. I'm a huge fan of quotsa/kyuss/them crooked vultures tone. I'm looking to get peoples opinions on the placement for the EHX Pog in an effects chain. I can get all kinds of great sounds at home level volumes but I'm looking to get peoples serious opinions for when you are up on stage with the volume cranked.
Sorry if I'm breaking any rules. I tried a search on the forum about this topic and didn't come up with much. I've googled it and people are awfully mixed on their opinions.
Send Elizabeth a bmail-- her boyfriend will know.
If you're looking for serious opinions you've come to the right place (IMHO).
There's a musician forum for this boring fucking bullshit,
I seriously think you should ask this in the jam room and if you don't take thems people's opinions seriously, at least take them into consideration. You can try all of thems people's opinions and try them out, or do you have a gig tomorrow morning?
You should ask these questions in the jam room, but if it was me I'd definitely put it after any dirt pedals. Especially if you're using fuzz as they like to be first in the chain. It's really up to you and what your ears tell you sounds better, but I'd go guitar,dirt, pog, time based effects like delay and reverb, amp. If you give a rundown of your pedals in the jam room we can give you a pretty good idea of what signal chain would probably sound best.
Put the POG after dirt, before modulation.
Pls move this dirty POG convo to the J Room, thangavarrymudge.
I appreciate the quick feedback guys. I'm digging the sound after the dirt. The POG seems to be tracking better for sure. I'll make sure I keep this type of discussion in the Jam Room from now on. Thanks
You better or I'll shove that shit right up your ass
Musicians are so stupid.

You wouldn't know a Maj6 from a min7 chord, and if you tried to keep 9/8 time, your head would explode.
he knows the imbecilical chord. he needs to exercise more to produce the wood chord with authority tho.
edit for reality due to newer person's presence:
MJS loves music. MJS has an incredible sense of humor. just look at his thread titles. he is very subtle at times. at other times he dishes out the perfectly replayed rage script. we all know it , so we watch and enjoy the performance.
many of us join in with more crap, laughing all the way. I personally like playing with words when I dish out crap.
I like it before dirt so that I'm giving my dirt a clean signal so you get more clarity for the octave. My POG goes first on my board. I tend to go octave-dirt-modulation-delay-reverb-looper

Thanks for clarifying jibberish. Sarcasm is sometimes lost.
lol, yay, you came back. I felt like that one needed some explanation
Run it before all your distortion/fuzz pedals. Its an octave pedal! Run your boost pedals after the pog.
Before the dirt sounds best on paper. Having played both ways, which do you prefer? Do you have sound files up somewhere so we can pass some real serious judgment on you?
I've tried it both ways and my POG hates a dirty signal. If it's not first in the chain I get garbled nonsense.

Really?
This is the POG fed some dirt and played chorded most of the time.
Maybe it's just mine Sunn, or maybe it's my fuzz, but I can't even run the pog after my boost pedal
Sunn, how was your POG set up in that video? I've only listened to it on my ipad's speakers but I honestly can't even tell it's on. Are you blending in a low octave or something smipler like that with no or little detune?
Oh, it's definitely there. It makes up more than half of that tone. It was set level cranked, low octave 80%, everything else down, filter 80%, dirt before it.
iPad speakers aren't exactly known for their lowend. I've listened to bass clips before and thought the video wasn't working then I remembered they cut off everything down there.
Wouldn't dirt mess with the tracking of the octave?
That's why a POG works better than that brown Boss octave pedal. That thing can crap out with dirt, the POG not so much.
