The 5 Pedals of Christmas.
Electro Harmonix Pico Pog Polyphonic Octave Generator
A pedal which is, among other things, the perfect size for Xmas stockings
Next up in our New EHX Pico range demo's is the classic, unmistakable POG. However, the Pico sized Pog isn't just a shrunken version of the original, it's brand new Filter modes change the entire sonic structure of what it's known to do!
And what is it know to do i hear you ask. Over to you EHX...
"The Pico POG takes the streamlined simplicity of the Micro and Nano POGs and fits it all into an ultra-compact chassis and adds a powerful tone control. The tightest octave effect now fits on the tightest of pedalboards.
The EHX Pico POG features a lighting fast feel that will track every note and chord you play with precision. Dial in Sub Octave to add stumble rumble or monstrous thunder. Add Octave Up for ethereal air or max it out to shred into another galaxy. Perfectly blend 3-voice tones for fat synthy madness. The 3 mode Tone control lets you tailor your sound to fit into any pocket no matter how massive or small."
It's a serious upgraded version, and your pedalboard will thank you later! We go through all the settings with no waffle so you can just sit back and enjoy.

EarthQuaker Devices 'Bit Commander' V2 - Octave Synth Pedal
An Effects Pedal for the anti-Xmas fan, the grinch of guitar synth if you will.
In case you haven't noticed, we really do love the noisy, the nasty, and the downright atrocious side of fuzzy effect pedals. So as you can imagine, we had lots of fun with this one, how could you not?!
The Bit Commander is a monophonic analog guitar synthesizer with four octaves of vintage square wave synth tones. Its no-nonsense interface makes it easy to add or subtract octaves to create a wide variety of sounds without having to dial in envelopes or oscillators. Ripping sub-octave thump, pulsing octave down, a lightly squared base tone and a swelling transformer based octave up all join together to make a single guitar sound like an army of olde time synths. But be careful, they don't make houses like they used to, and this is capable of rumbling a mansion to the ground..
We run through all the sounds and settings with no faff, and we do hope you enjoy.
