Polyphonic Octave Generation: Elevated

Since 2005, the Electro-Harmonix POG — the Polyphonic Octave Generator — has enabled musicians to conjure up a staggering range of jaw-dropping octave effects. The POG3 bears the same lightning-fast, glitch-free tracking as its predecessors but expands its octave-generating capabilities to six polyphonic voices, including a fifth above, and to 100 customizable presets. Familiar Attack, Filter, and Detune sliders are bolstered by an Envelope knob on the multimode filter, plus you get a stereo output with individual voice panning and a detune Spread parameter. Musicians performing in dimly lit spaces will appreciate the POG3’s high-visibility OLED screen and illuminated sliders, while MIDI and an extensive complement of I/O options support seamless integration into a broad array of setup configurations. Complete with desktop software for editing patches and transferring presets, the EHX POG3 elevates polyphonic octave generation to exciting new heights.

Expanded octave-generating capabilities

Throughout the decades, musicians have found countless imaginative ways to deploy the POG’s 5-voice polyphonic octave-generating engine. The POG3 provides you with access to even more creative options, thanks to its expanded 6-voice capabilities, which include a fifth above your dry signal. The pedal’s enhanced multimode filter boasts a dedicated Envelope control to fine-tune the effect. You also get more I/O, including left, right, and direct analog outputs, MIDI, USB-C, and an expression pedal input. With the POG3, you’ll be able to transform your sound into a whole new range of expressive sonic textures.

Expansive stereo output

Many of us here at Sweetwater use stereo guitar, synth, and bass rigs. What’s more, stereo capabilities unlock all sorts of extended possibilities when you’re in the studio. So, you can imagine how excited we became once we learned that Electro-Harmonix’s POG3 includes a stereo output! Not only that, but each of the pedal’s generated octaves brandishes a dedicated voice panning knob, and the Detune slider boasts a Spread knob, enabling you to create seriously expansive stereo effects with spot-on panning precision.

High-visibility OLED screen

The POG3’s most striking visual change is its high-visibility OLED screen, which makes keeping track of its 100 customizable internal presets much easier. You also get illuminated sliders, so tweaking the POG3 in a darkened studio or on a dimly lit stage is as easy as using it in broad daylight.

  • Bears the same lightning-fast, glitch-free tracking as previous-gen POG pedals

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Reviews

Ultimate octave octane
This thing is beyond description. Then you use the expression pedal.
Music background: Singer songwriter composer multi instrumentalist
Incomplete
The pedal itself is really nice. The sounds you can get out of this is amazing.
Just be aware, there are issues.

A lot of the presets demoed in various videos from EHX don't exist. At least not on the versions they've sold. When I asked EHX about this, they said to just copy the settings from the videos. Pausing the video and trying to recreate some of the settings hasn't worked that well for me.

The software is non existent. The manual states you can download it from the website. You can't. It hasn't been written.
EHX had said on their forums that they were targeting it being released last year (2024). It wasn't. They've stopped responding to the support thread asking for it. So there's no way to backup your settings, or edit the settings from a computer, or do firmware updates.

With more advanced devices like this, I think software control is essential, and EHX doesn't seem to think it is a priority or that important at all.
