How's the EH POG work?

[Paul Perry (Frostwave)]

Back in the heyday of analog synths, there was a thing called a "poly box". http://www.vintagesynth.com/eml/polybox.shtml
it was actually a chord generator, took a monophonic note input & then treated it as a controller for a bunch of notes.

Maybe someone could start with a Blue Box or similar & then  work with the polybox idea, with organ style pedals.
Or a range of stomp switches corresponding to chords.

Though it might be easier to learn DSP dammit...

Right now I'm working on this idea: first generate a square wave one octave higher than the original note, then feed that signal into a 4024 and get your fundamental and sub octaves that way.  The trouble is generating that first waveform.

Take a look at the E&MM Harmony Generator.  http://hammer.ampage.org/files/EMMHarmoGen.PDF

I wasn't expecting to recreate the POG sound
Just wanted to experiment with an up/down octave fuzz blended together. Totally not expecting it to sound like a POG 

Still trying to find the octave up sound I want in it, gone through about 4 different kinds so far. I need to start finding the down sound and working on the blend.

We used to get the octave up by using pick and thumb together........in 1964!

One thing I want to try soon is an analog "version" of a micro pog. So build an octave up that I like, along with an octave down that I like (probably green ringer and shocktave/blue) then put them in one box that has the up/down/clean mix controls like a micro pog but with the extra controls for each octaves. Wont be exactly like a micro pog of course, and will be fairly fuzzy, but it would be interesting to see how it turns out.

whack a fundamental extractor in front of the input stage and you're good to go.

Yeah, where`s Stephen, when he`s needed?

Yeah, and no stinkin' fuzz-box, just an AC10 with 2 guitars, a bass, and the singer plugged in.
