Re: Re: Boss PS-6 as a tool for looped bass.

This is why I love this list...........someone will have the skinny on 
just about anything.
So, I stand corrected about the EH Micro POG.
It sure sounds synthetic compared to the Chili Dog (which actually takes 
distortion beautifully
so it has it's advantages).

Why are there so many cool pedals and so little money?

Just today on this list,  I told myself I wish I could own
a BOSS PS-6,  an EH Holy Grail,  an EH Octave Multiplexer
and a BOSS OC-3

Add to that my brother's delicious WET pedal with two expression pedals
and a second EH Freeze (adding my signals output on top of my first EH 
Freeze
to get an even cooler 'frozen' sound.

So many pedals,  so little money.
