Polyphonic Octave Generator

Welcome to the Electro-Harmonix Pico POG,
Polyphonic Octave Generator. Just like the Micro
and Nano POGs, the Pico POG generates both high
and low octave signals, which you can mix with your
dry signal. Whether you play single notes, arpeggios,
or full chords, the Pico POG will track every note or
chord you play with precision. The Pico POG also
features a TONE knob to allow tonal sculpting of your
octaves and, in Tone mode, your dry signal as well.
Operating Instructions
Insert the output plug from the supplied 9VDC AC
adapter into the power jack at the top of the Pico
POG. The Pico POG must be powered to pass signal,
even in bypass—the Pico POG features buffered
analog bypass. Connect an instrument cable from
your instrument to the Input jack. Connect an
instrument cable between the Output jack and a
suitable amplifier. Click the footswitch to engage
the Pico POG and light the LED.

Power Suppy Requirements: Voltage: 9VDC Current: 100mA Polarity: Center-Negative
This device comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200 power supply. Use of the wrong adapter or a
plug with the wrong polarity may damage the device and void the warranty. Do not exceed 10.5VDC on the power
plug. Power supplies rated for less than 100mA may cause the device to act unreliably.

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.
6. Footswitch and Status LED Footswitch engages
or bypasses the effect. The LED color indicates
the selected filter type. In bypass, the LED is off.
7. Input Jack Impedance: 2.2MΩ, Max In: +1.5 dBu
8. Output Jack Impedance: 680Ω, Max Out: +2.1 dBu
9. Power Jack Current draw: 100mA at 9.0VDC
