Back in 2005, Electro-Harmonix unveiled the original POG, a polyphonic octave generator that enabled guitarists to conjure everything from the surreal jangle of an 18-string guitar, to rich, thick walls of symphonic sound.
The POG2 will take you even higher. Use the new attack control to fade in lush, smooth swells. Tune in the new second sub-octave to reach deeper than ever before. The 2-pole resonant low-pass filter now includes two additional Q modes. Slide in the newly enhanced detune to further refine your sound.
The POG2 delivers unrivaled tonal variations—and now you can save your favorite settings, and recall them with a click. The POG2 just plain sounds better, thanks to an enhanced algorithm that delivers a more focused and in-the-pocket harmonic performance. And all this is now packed into our rugged and pedalboard-friendly diecast chassis. Featured Videos

Thanks to MusicRadar and Chris Vinnicombe for this review of the new POG2.
Chris writes: "Taking all of the cool features of the original POG and cramming them into a smaller housing, the effects gurus at EHX have also taken the opportunity to enhance the algorithm and add a second sub-octave, an attack control and eight user presets." Read more...

This summer, look for the new documentary film " It Might Get Loud" featuring Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), The Edge (U2), Jack White (White Stripes), and directed by Oscar winner Davis Guggenheim ("An Inconvenient Truth").
Here's how producer Thomas Tull describes it: "I wanted to see a movie that captured the essence of why people are so fanatic about the guitar. While there have been a lot of performance documentaries, this one is really about the relationship between these three men and their instruments. We tried to show what drives the artists, what got them passionate as players, what made them pick up the guitar in the first place."
As for me, I was especially chuffed to see the movie's trailer, which begins and ends with Jack White playing a hand-made instrument through a Big Muff Pi. The trailer also includes the White Stripes' "Blue Orchid," one of the first tracks to feature the then-new POG (recently replaced by POG2):
But that's not all! You'll also get a quick look at The Edge sharing a tender moment with his Deluxe Memory Man at the beach:

Early last week, tech blog CrunchGear visited EHX. When they were here, they managed to capture the first video of our new POG2. The man in the video is EHX alum Kenny Richardson, who also happened to be visiting that day.
The audio quality isn't great (it was just a Flip camera) but we thought you might enjoy the quick look (and better video is coming soon):
fyi, Kenny was a member of the core EHX crew that visited the Soviet Union in 1979, and you can see him over to the left in the picture below:

We've been playing these EHX Strings ever since we first took them home to try them out, back in 2002. We find them to consistently offer rich harmonics with powerful definition, while also lasting longer and staying in tune longer than conventional strings. We use them, we like them, and we think you will too. Available in 9's, 10's, 11's. |
