Thanks, Freddy, Nick and Doog, much appreciated. So that's what EXH was suing Mooer for a couple of years back, good to know.

A PEDANT WRITES: please remember that there are two (maybe more?) Mooer Octave pedals - the Pure Octave and the Tender Octaver. Only the latter is a POG clone.

[sunshiner]

MK2 seems to sound quite differently from MK1 judging by the demos I've just watched. So probably it's not a clone anymore, which should make sense as they would've been sued again.

[Doog]

Yeah, MK2 is no doubt some 'open source' alternative that just sounds worse.

As an adjacent bit of news:

I wonder if this is based on the same chips and code as the Nano POG and Pitchfork, both of which have more latency vs. the OG Micro POG. Seems it's a hard thing to nail at a lower price poin, although this is like $250, so maybe it's comparable? Would probably check one out if I hadn't jumped ship to an OC-5 for the new band.

There's TC electronic SubNup in the nano format which is rather on affordable side. Has anyone tried it?

[Doog]

Yeah, I had the mini for a while; found it too subby as a direct M'POG replacement in my setup, but it's still good. Definitely less 'metallic' than the POGs, which sounds nicer with cleaner sounds, but not as sharp with distorted tones.

[sunshiner]

Shit, Freddy did mention it. £30 is a bargain

[sunshiner]

And thank you, Doog, of course!

I love the thought that as pedals get more and more digital, we're going to start talking about open source tone like we used to talk about true bypass.

[sunshiner]

I like the idea of a single metal enclosure box with "Stompbax" written on it. You download whatever algorithm you want in it and it turns into a fuzz, octave pedal, even a Bad Monkey, and you tweak the settings from your phone with two dials "More Woman Toan" and "Less Woman Toan".

[benecol]

This is what loads of the TC Electronic pedals do, old stick.

[plopswagon]

If I ever have the money to get Mike to build me some pedals, I’d make inclosure design like the old generic grocery labels.

[Bacchus]

A two knob Value Drive would be a great looking thing.

Haha, I would just label them all “Beans”!

Woah, being behind the times I didn't know that.

I think I nicked "Stompbax" from one of your posts. You should patent it before Josh Scott steals ot.

[NickD]

It seems that naming pedals after value food labels has been done, and by Josh Scott. Spooky

[plopswagon]

Ok then, I’m going to name future pedals Josh Scott and John Mayer. They’ll suck.

[sunshiner]

They will? They do! Both of yhem.
