Electro-Harmonix Pico POG

Polyphonic Octave Generator
Music’s best octave pedal in a powerhouse pico package!

EHX’s smallest and most powerful compact Polyphonic Octave Generator yet. The Pico POG takes the streamlined simplicity of the Micro and Nano POGs and fits it all into an ultra-compact chassis and adds a powerful tone control. The tightest octave effect now fits on the tightest of pedalboards.

The EHX Pico POG features a lighting fast feel that will track every note and chord you play with precision. Dial in Sub Octave to add stumble rumble or monstrous thunder. Add Octave Up for ethereal air or max it out to shred into another galaxy. Perfectly blend 3-voice tones for fat synthy madness. The 3 mode Tone control lets you tailor your sound to fit into any pocket no matter how massive or small.

Controls on the Pico POG include dedicated volumes knobs for the SUB OCTAVE, OCTAVE UP, and DRY voices. These three controls act as a mixer for infinite possible voice mixes. The TONE knob features three modes controlled by the FILTER button. In Tone Mode, the knob acts as a tilt-EQ with a flat frequency response in the center, more treble and less bass as you turn the knob clockwise, and less treble and more bass as you turn the knob counterclockwise. In this mode, the EQ is applied to all 3 voices. In Low Pass Filter mode, the knob cuts highs in the Sub and Octave Up voices, while High Pass Filter mode cuts lows in the Sub and Octave Up Voices.

Controls:

1. SUB OCTAVE: Controls volume of lower octave.
2. OCTAVE: UP Controls volume of upper octave.
3. DRY: Controls volume of the dry signal.
4. TONE: Controls frequency response of your signal based on the mode selected by the FILTER Button.
5. FILTER Button: Press this button to switch between three modes, the color of the LED indicates which mode you are in:

• Green – TONE In this mode the TONE knob acts as a tilt-EQ, with a flat frequency response in the center, more treble and less bass as you turn the knob clockwise, and less treble and more bass as you turn the knob counterclockwise. This EQ is applied to your sub octave, octave up, and dry signals. Bass boost and cut is a shelving filter at around 300Hz, while treble boost and cut is a shelving filter at around 800Hz.
• Red – LOW PASS FILTER In this mode, the TONE knob controls the frequency of a resonant low pass filter, which allows low frequencies to pass while cutting higher frequencies. This filter is applied to the sub octave and octave up signals but not the dry signal.
• Orange – HIGH PASS FILTER In this mode, the TONE knob controls the frequency of a high pass filter, which allows high frequencies to pass while cutting lower frequencies. This filter is applied to the sub octave and octave up signals but not the dry signal.
