The organ sound is a bit of a one-trick pony for me really, I'm far more down with the octaved sounds, the tracking and general tone is a lot nicer than the PS-5.
ta for the comments. my chattiness meant the first version was 12 minutes and rejected.. (did a whole "what's in the box?" gearwire pisstake thing at the start for some reason, along with some more noodling but gave up for the second attempt...)
i've got the behringer ps-5 clone which is cool for whammy effects but the tracking (unsurprisingly for a £30 stomp box) can't compare. chords and shiz have just that digital-ness or garbaged notes, which is great if you want that sound but not so good for general use. it's interesting chaining the two together though, so behringer down an octave, pog up an octave to get a weird bit-crunched version of the original sound.
the organ is a cool effect (stick some phasing and delay on it and you may as well not be playing guitar), but then with the micropog you miss the +2 and detuned options - and +2 is awesome just for weirdness..
Great wrap-up and an excellent collection of tones, Ben.
I dig the micro, but mostly for multi-octave wallstortion when fuzzed up on bass. The lack of organ factor is quite big considering what you're already paying for teh microz.

Yeah, it's not cheap- I had to stop myself a few times because, as cool as the effect is, it basically does 3 or 4 sounds.. and at £130+, that's not a great deal.
Maybe one day.
