Blended 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.

The Electro-Harmonix Pico POG is a compact polyphonic octave generator that condenses the legacy of the POG series into a tiny enclosure, generating sub octave and octave up tones with flawless polyphonic tracking. It can blend the dry signal with one octave up and one octave down to create organ like, twelve string, synth and bass expanding textures, tracking single notes, arpeggios and full chords cleanly. With simple controls in a mini format, it brings the core POG sound to crowded pedalboards. It suits players across rock, ambient, worship and experimental styles who want lush polyphonic octaves, faux organ and twelve string tones and octave layering in a space saving pedal.
The TC Electronic Sub 'N' Up is a polyphonic octave pedal from Aarhus, Denmark, generating simultaneous sub-octave, dry, and up-octave voices for thick, full-range octave textures that track full chords, not just single notes. Its polyphonic engine tracks chords and fast runs with clear, glitch-free accuracy, so even a low sub-octave under a full chord stays defined rather than turning to mud. A separate Classic mode switches to old-school monophonic octave shifting for players who want the more vintage, single-note-only octave character. TonePrint technology lets players load artist-designed presets or use TonePrint to blend in modulation, organ-like tones, flanging, or overdrive alongside the octave voices for more eclectic textures. It suits bass players and guitarists wanting genuinely usable polyphonic octave thickening and shimmer on chords, not just leads, plus the flexibility to fall back to a classic monophonic octave voice when that's the better fit.
