Those clips are very bad . I have one and I had a Micro Pog and to my ear the MR black sounds more organic and natural and there is almost no delay between string pluck and sound from the amp. So the Micro Pog went away and the MR Black now resides on my board. Just my 2 cents but I think they did a terrible job on the recordings and I think the latency you hear if with the recording equiptment and not the Octave II
