Has anyone used a E.H. Pog2 with a steel guitar ?
If so fill me in. Can you use it on both necks or is it like the Roland GR-20/ GK-3 and will only track the C6th.

My POG 2 tracks anything I've thrown at it - steel, guitar, single notes, full chords, whatever. Tracking is why I got it - I was looking for a simple sub-octave pedal that tracked well, but this was beyond my expectations. Still, maybe there's something it won't handle. It's eerie when set up for organ-type sound and run through a Leslie.
My experience, anyway. I wish I was in a band where I could use it more, but that will come in time. |

Dave and I are thinking alike today.
If I want a FULL organ sound I use the POG 2 in conjunction with a Leslie sim.
I recently picked up a Neo Ventilator and they are a great combination. |

got one, its cool, tracking is excellent, I never use it tho.
I find it hard to control the volume of the organ tones. specifically, every once in a while I hit one too many strings or something and get a huge disruptive volume swell. |

Ben - maybe this isn't what you're noticing, but how is your Attack knob set? Turn it completely off to remove any swell effect - http://www.ehx.com/assets/instructions/pog2.pdf
One of the keys (no pun intended) to a more authentic organ sound is to just give a little swell by pushing up the Attack knob a wee bit. But anything more than a little swell delay is too much to me.
About the only thing I haven't been able to do with this is to get Hammond key-click electronically, but hitting the strings hard with heavy metal fingerpicks sorta' substitutes.
PS - I'm using mine with a real Leslie baffle-rotor like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpksruFyMRQ - cut down and stuffed into a small box. It's nuts. |

| Can you use a noise gate to sort of simulate the key click, without having to hit the strings so hard? |
