The Boss MO2 Multi-Overtone pedal is a high quality and great sounding product worthy of musicians seeking to add organ-like and ambient overtone textures to their music. For several years, I've relied on the Electro Harmonix Micro POG to add a variety of overtone and octave sounds to my sonic palette. I am still very satisfied with the POG, but was intrigued by some of the extras that Boss offers with this pedal. Namely, Boss has highly promoted their new MDP (multi-dimensional processing) technology, boasting greater clarity and precision in tone. In testing this pedal, I can attest that there is, in fact, a noticeable clarity in sound and tone. I was also intrigued by the stereo outputs on the Boss MO2 and the possibility of creating fuller and more lush sounds. I was not disappointed by the MO2 performance in this area. The POG also has dual outputs ('dry' and 'effect'), but the effect itself is not designed around a stereo image. The MO2 offers three modes of overtones. Each is distinct and useful, going from thinner treble to more deeper and resonant bass overtones. These modes can be further tweaked with a dedicated 'Tone' control, in addition to a spacey and intriguing "Detune" control. The bottom line is that the MO2 and the POG do very similar things, but the Boss pedal, in my opinion, has more versatility, and, by virtue of more control options, achieves more precision sound. I would like to see stereo inputs on the MO2 in the future . As it stands, the MO2 has a mono input, which limits where it can be placed in a pedal board chain with other stereo effects. Of course, the EH POG also has a mono input. I've had no trouble with the POG over the years, but the MO2 just feels more solid. In all, if you may think that Boss's MDP processing is just a gimmick, think again. It's innovative and lives up to its hype.

.I tried it out on my bass and it sounded pretty cool. I really like the balance knob so you can blend in how much of overtone you want. I watched the youtube videos before buying and from what I can see, they show it like it is.
