Electro-Harmonix Micro POG is a polyphonic octave generator that blends your dry signal with one octave up and one octave down. Released in 2007, it keeps the tracking approach of the original POG but leaves out its detune slider, filter and two-octave voices.

Polyphonic means the pedal tracks several notes at once. Chords and arpeggios are shifted as reliably as single lines, where monophonic octavers tend to glitch on anything beyond one note. Three knobs set the level of the dry, sub-octave and octave-up signals independently, so each voice works alone or in a mix.
The sub-octave with the dry signal thickens a guitar line, and the sub-octave on its own moves a guitar into bass range. Octave up with dry gives a twelve-string-like doubling, and all three voices together approach organ-style sounds.
A second jack outputs the dry signal separately, so the dry and octave signals can go to different amps. Players who want more voices and a filter should look at the POG2.
