What songs are you using the Pog on, just outta curiosity?

Um, it changes. Uh, let's see, on the solo from "Flying Over Water", I use it. In the studio I used a Caroline Wave Cannon, which has this switch that just goes berserk. I mean, it does all kinds of weird, glitchy noises that are still melodic, they're still, you know, they're the notes you're playing, but they're jumpin' octaves and you can control em' with your volume knob and you tone knob, unless you put a compressor in front of it, which then kills whatever filter that is. That pedal's... it's crazy, it's a mystery to me. I love that pedal, but since I kinda have to be able to turn knobs on it, I can't really take it out on the road, wouldn't use it too much.

In "Jason Isbell // This is How I Bliss", at 0:12, Jason Isbell's rack clearly shows a Chase Bliss Preamp MKII, Chase Bliss CXM 1978, Wampler Tape Echo, and Poly Tune.

Isbell goes on to state how he likes to really adjust the Preamp quickly and on the fly, looking towards it for a more mid-range altering sound -- also stating he could use just the two Chase Bliss Automatone pedals as its own rig.
