Introduction
The Electro-Harmonix Pico POG is a compact and powerful polyphonic octave generator pedal designed to add octave effects to your guitar signal. It features precise tracking for both single notes and chords, offering sub-octave and octave-up voices in addition to your dry signal. The pedal also includes a versatile tone control with three distinct filter modes to shape your sound. Its small footprint makes it ideal for pedalboards with limited space.

Operating the Pico POG
Controls Overview
The Pico POG features four primary control knobs and a footswitch for intuitive sound manipulation:
- Чыпка: A push-button switch that cycles through the three tone filter modes.
- SUB OCTAVA: Controls the volume level of the octave-down signal.
- OCTAVE UP: Controls the volume level of the octave-up signal.
- КУРГАК: Controls the volume level of your original, unprocessed instrument signal.
- ОБОН: Functions differently based on the selected filter mode (see Filter Modes section).
- Бут өчүргүч: Эффекти тартуу же кыйгап өтүү.

Фильтр режимдери
The Pico POG offers three distinct filter modes, selectable via the FILTER button, which significantly alter the pedal's tonal characteristics:
- Tilt-EQ (Green LED): In this mode, the TONE knob acts as a tilt-EQ. Turning it clockwise increases treble and decreases bass, while turning it counter-clockwise increases bass and decreases treble. The flat frequency response is at the center position. This EQ is applied to all three voices (Dry, Sub Octave, Octave Up).
- Low Pass Filter (Red LED): This mode applies a resonant low-pass filter, cutting higher frequencies from the Sub Octave and Octave Up voices. The TONE knob controls the cutoff frequency.
- High Pass Filter (Orange LED): This mode applies a high-pass filter, cutting lower frequencies from the Sub Octave and Octave Up voices. The TONE knob controls the cutoff frequency.

Sound Examples жана Тиркемелер
The Pico POG's polyphonic tracking and versatile controls allow for a wide range of applications:
- Thickening Chords: Blend the Sub Octave and Octave Up voices with your dry signal to create rich, full-bodied chord voicings.
- Bass Simulation: Turn up the SUB OCTAVE knob and reduce the DRY and OCTAVE UP levels to transform your guitar into a bass-like instrument.
- Synth Sounds: Experiment with the Low Pass Filter mode and adjust the TONE knob to achieve classic synth flute or pad sounds.
- Organ Tones: Combine octave voices with a long reverb or Leslie effect for cathedral organ or jazz organ sounds.
- Vintage Octave Divider: Drive the pedal into an overdriven amplifier for a vintage octave divider effect.

- Күч: Педаль узак убакыт бою пайдаланылбаганда, ар дайым кубат менен камсыздоону өчүрүңүз.
- Байланыштары: Мезгил-мезгили менен бардык кабелдик туташтыргычтардын бекем тууралыгын жана эскирүү белгилерин текшерип туруңуз.
Проблемаларды чечүү
If you encounter issues with your Pico POG, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Көйгөй | Мүмкүн себеп | Чечим |
|---|---|---|
| Үн жок | Incorrect power supply, loose cables, pedal bypassed. | Verify 9V power supply, check all input/output cables, ensure footswitch is engaged (LED on). |
| Алсыз же бурмаланган үн | Туура эмес күчөтүү staging, faulty cables, low battery (if applicable). | Adjust volume knobs, try different cables, ensure proper power. |
| Octave Tracking Issues | Input signal too low/high, complex chords, old strings. | Ensure a strong, clean input signal. Polyphonic pedals track best with clear notes. Consider fresh strings. |
