I believe I asked the same question on this post (question 2)
It was disappointing to hear that it was intentional. When they discontinued the HOG2 and announced the POG3 I was hoping that meant the POG3 could cater to users of either platform- but I didn’t find it capable of replacing the HOG so I returned mine pretty quickly.

Uggh. THIS IS HEART BREAKING post to read. I just got mine and have been banging my head thinking I was doing something wrong. But nope I guess it’s like this. Not having an ‘original’ signal slider like on the hog is a huge and crazy miss. I’m so devastated, because the stereo panning and huge sound is incredible… but this doesn’t replace what I was doing with the hog. Freeze Gliss 100percent needs this feature.

Also why not make all the sliders tunable to what whatever you want. That would be so amazing. Like hold shift then turn pan to tune on the fly. You could Freeze then start fading in a more complex chord. For basically 700 bucks literally anything should be possible on this pedal.

Also Also, why is the attack so fast even at max settings? There is more than enough throw room on the slider. Slow it down. Let’s us get more oozy!

Come on EHX do us hog users right! These features won’t break what’s already there.

I’m going to keep mine. I’ll continue to use my trusty hog, but I have faith that EHX is going to continue updating the firmware for the p3, and adding more fun and surprising stuff. It really should have way more under the hood than it does. It has so much room to grow. This should be one of the most feature rich pedals ever made. It’s all right there.
