Electro Harmonix Micro POG Polyphonic Octave Generator Guitar Effects Pedal

Product Information

It’s also worth mentioning that the Micro POG works extremely well with a bass guitar. I experimented with a bass and adding an octave up to the mix gave me plenty of inspiration for different riffs. You could even experiment with using an octave lower as a way to reach really low tones normally only available on five-string bass. Sound

This pedal is a must-have addition to the board of any advanced player. This pedal’s versatility and extensive capabilities make it an excellent tool for those looking to dive into the more experimental end.The Donner Harmonic Square has 7-octave modes that you can switch by turning the main knob: ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5, ±7, 1 octave, and 2 octaves. All of this is housed in a very compact aluminum alloy chassis that will easily fit on any pedalboard and be able to take road and gig punishment.

Introduced in 1989, the BOSS PS-2 was the first BOSS pitch shifter. Strictly speaking, it was a Pitch Shifter/Delay. Though its core sound would pale in comparison to that of the Whammy, it just about held its own both as a somewhat feature-limited DD-3 alternative and as a harmoniser. Sometimes pitch based pedals have a horrible digital feel to them. Fortunately, the Micro POG doesn’t give you a digital feel. Of course, if you crank the higher octave up you might feel like it sounds digital, but that’s simply because shifting the pitch up an octave is always going to sound a bit unnatural. On the other hand, the Nano POG only draws about 25mA while it’s working, giving you more room to add more effects pedals to your chains. Dimensions Some people have allegedly received defective products or products that aren’t quite up to par. We can’t verify that, so keep an eye out. The Micro POG hits you first with its brilliant red design. This pedal is gorgeous. Plug it in, and it hits you again. In this case, it’s okay to judge a book by its cover. The Micro POG is beautiful in body and sound and easily one of the best quality bass octave pedals on the market.The Micro POG is a leaner and meaner version of the classic EHX Polyphonic Octave Generator, redesigned with buttons instead of the eight sliders featured on the original. It allows you to create new tones by mixing together your original dry signal with two different octaves, one above and one below your original pitch. For some riffs, he used a wah while other sections he used delays and fuzz pedals while still retaining a basic bass tone. The Micro POG was the first pedal (after his tuner) in his rig so the bass tone was unaffected by other pedals. Here, I’ll take a closer look at the features that each POG pedal offers to help differentiate between them. Messing around with different options like the two examples above is how you will get the most out of the Micro POG. Alternatives to the Micro POG It’s fun to play around with, but it is sometimes hard to produce the exact sound you’re looking for if you’re not familiar with the pedal.

These controls are powerful tools that can help you adjust the sound until you’re happy with it. The ‘Octave Up’ sound boosts your sound to twice the frequency of the input signal, whereas the ‘Sub Octave’ button reduces the frequency to drop the pitch by an octave. Battery Power Good question. The Micro POG, Whammy and PS-6 all deal in adding intervals to your dry signal. The Micro POG, however, can only add one type of interval: an octave. It can add an octave on either side of your notes if you'd like, but that's all it can do. It cannot add a minor third or fifth or do three-part harmony (like the PS-6). It cannot bend the interval and sweep with an expression pedal like the Whammy. In this way, the Micro POG is a bit simpler than these other pedals, and that's part of the reason why we love it. Less to mess with and a sound all its own. How is different from a standard Electro-Harmonix POG?

The Growl and Girth controls are where most of the action is in this pedal. The Growl knob is the mid-range, slightly edgy octave-below controls, while the Girth knob is for a smoother octave-below. Since these controls are independent of each other, it opens up a great array of tonal possibilities. The Dry Knob helps you achieve the precise blend of effects to signal ratio. No matter pedal effect, Boss engineers will design it to be versatile and functional. The OC-3 is a perfect example, as it delivers much more than you would usually expect from an octave pedal. This model represents a significant upgrade over the legendary OC-2 model and although it has been around for years, it is still one of the best units of this type on the market. Electro-Harmonix POG2 – this gives you far more flexibility and options (eg: also has an option for 2 octaves down)
