Using POG2 and Bass Microsynth Together?

JezWynd

Been a fan of the Pog2 for a while, esp with bass guitar and have just picked up the Bass Microsynth which is also an insanely good effect generator. While each pedal sounds excellent alone (with compression, phaser and chorus) I haven't found a way to use them together, in fact their sound sets almost clash. Has anyone run them together and if so any recipes?



The bass micro synth is an incredible noisemaker. I was a bit wary of getting it as a lot of vids have led on its metal or funk tones and I wasn't sure if it could sound gentler and spacier - and it can, in spades. Compression before helps to shape the sound that the micro synth receives and delay after helps control the trigger/gate on long notes. Small changes to the sliders can alter the sound hugely. Incredible fun and very inspiring soundscape wise.

Blinding flash of inspiration revealed that what |I should be doing is splitting the output signal from comp and feeding it to Microsynth and POG separately as POG can't work with the input it gets from synth. Most of my stuff is in storage at present so the small mixer I have that could probably suffice is out of reach.

Are there any small devices that can simply split the signal to A and B streams?

Boss Linesplitter. I forgot the proper name but I think it's LS2? Or even a cheap ABY box would work

That looks very handy, thanks. The LS-2 is a good suggestion too, with the advantage of being able to vary the output level of each line.

The LS2 is absolutely worth the extra cash. Its helped me out on loads of different occasions for gigs. I only recommended to Mooer as you mentioned small pedals!

Thanks for your recommendation, I've gone ahead and got a used one off eBay. Looks to be a really useful pedal to have around.
