Electro-Harmonix Micro POG Polyphonic Octave Generator vs Meris MR Hedra

The Electro-Harmonix Micro POG Polyphonic Octave Generator and the Meris MR Hedra are both pedals sharing harmonically rich. The Meris MR Hedra leans octave.

Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Electro-Harmonix Micro POG (Polyphonic Octave Generator) is a polyphonic octave pedal capable of generating sub-octave and one-octave-up harmonics alongside the dry signal with no tracking latency. Three controls (Sub Octave, Dry, Octave Up) allow independent level mixing of each register. Unlike monophonic octave pedals, the Micro POG tracks chords and complex playing accurately. Used by guitarists seeking organ-like tones, bass simulation, and harmonic richness. True bypass. A smaller version of the original POG.

The Meris Hedra is a three-voice rhythmic pitch shifter inspired by esteemed studio rack harmonizers like the Eventide Ultra-Harmonizer and Rocktron Intellipitch. It layers three independent pitch voices beneath the dry signal at intervals from two octaves down to two octaves up, with selectable key and scale for diatonic harmonies. It handles Whammy-style drop-tuned octave dives for beefy detuned riffs and wild octave-up leaps with ease, while a glide control moves from hard-tuned modern shifts to natural note transitions and a Micro Tune control adds synth-like detuning to fatten or warp the signal. Four delay configurations build complex, textured harmonized echoes. With MIDI and expression control, it suits adventurous players, though it rewards solid harmonic knowledge.
