Electro-Harmonix Unveils the POG3 Pedal – No Treble
Electro-Harmonix has unveiled the POG3, marking the latest generation of its Polyphonic Octave Generator pedal. The company calls it the most powerful pedal in the history of the series.
“At its core, the POG3 delivers lightning-fast tracking and perfect polyphony over 4 octaves with smoother tone and performance than ever before,” they write. “From 12-string jangle to 6-voice drawbar organ sounds, the POG3 delivers an endless possibility of tone creation. The pedal has received many updates that further expand its tone-shaping possibilities to enhance your performance on stage and in the studio.”
The POG3 has six separate voices – DRY, -2 OCT, -1 OCT, +5th, +1 OCT, and +20 OCT – with individual pan controls to separate them. It has 100 user presets for saving your settings and two footswitches for quickly cycling through them. EHX also added three separate 1/4-inch outputs (Left, Right, and Direct Out) for flexibility in your signal routing.
Other features include a USB-C port for connecting to the EHXport app, Focus controls for the +1 OCT and +2 OCT filters, a Multimode Filter with Q and Envelope sweep, and more. Although the demos are on guitar, you can get the scope of the POG3’s capabilities in this video by Bill Ruppert.
The Electro-Harmonix POG3 carries a street price of $645.
