I got this last month and was only able to mess with it once. The delivery missed my last gig by a couple of days so I could not use it live. I would've found a way to squeeze it on my all purpose board.

If you read the thread that started it all by @Gorgon90, I was looking for something small to replace my Digitech Whammy V which will head to Reverb.com this weekend. I used the Whammy for the Octave Up and Octave down functions when I played in my Tom Petty tribute. The Octave Up gave me a 12-String simulation. Combine with a Ross type compressor, and you have imaginary 12 string heaven. The Octave Down was used for Tom Petty's Honey Bee from the open lick and guitar solo. Turning it off only during the chorus section. I never used any of the other intervals as there was any song or need for them. Closest would have been if I play Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart - solo which is in 5ths IIRC.

Well dang this Pico Pog does exactly what I asked for plus some bonuses. I may have to bend down to tweak the knobs but now I can octave down or up for any song but have to max and min the knobs. As for the bonus, oh this is killer!!! Turn up both Octave Up and Down and you get and simulated organ sound - what? Yes!!! Add on a Univibe or Chorus and I was in heaven. Add some OD and bam Jon Lord B3 organ. The Filter also adds some nice flavors that I have not explored enough lately to find a use but with all that this little beast can do, I am please and best yet, a small foot print!!!
