Transform your guitar into a full orchestra
At Garage à Musique , we've tested dozens of octave pedals, but the Electro-Harmonix POG2 remains the undisputed queen. It's not just an effects pedal; it's a true polyphonic synthesizer for your guitar or bass. Thanks to its ultra-fast tracking algorithm and zero dropouts, the POG2 lets you play complex chords by adding up to four extra octaves with absolute clarity.
Whether you're looking to emulate a crystalline 12-string guitar, transform your instrument into a massive Hammond organ, or create ambient soundscapes worthy of a cello with attack control, the POG2 pushes the boundaries of your creativity. It's the secret tool of many professionals for thickening their sound on stage and in the studio.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Does the POG2 work well with a bass guitar?
Absolutely! The POG2's tracking is so effective that it perfectly handles the low frequencies of a bass. Bass players love using the higher octaves (+1 and +2) combined with the filter to create punchy synthesizer sounds or simulate an 8-string bass.
2. Can you really get an organ sound with this pedal?
This is one of its greatest strengths. By blending all the octaves (lower and upper), slightly cutting the attack and adding a little Detune (which acts like a rotary Leslie speaker), you will get a stunningly realistic Hammond organ sound.
3. What is the difference between the POG2 and the Micro/Nano POG?
The Nano POG and Micro POG are simplified versions that only offer -1 and +1 octave adjustments, without the ability to save settings. The POG2 adds -2 and +2 octave adjustments, attack control, a filter, detuning, and the ability to save 8 presets .
4. Does the "Attack" setting replace a volume pedal?
Yes, for violin or "swell" effects. The Attack slider delays the onset of sound after you pluck the string, creating a smooth and automatic volume rise without needing to use your foot on an expression pedal.
5. Does the POG2 change my clean tone when it is turned off?
No. The pedal is equipped with a True Bypass circuit. When it is deactivated, your signal passes directly from the input to the output without being altered by the internal electronic components.
