Fantastic, but,,,,, not quite what I expected.
The micro POG is a truly fantastic product, it tracks perfectly on my 4 string Bass (EADG) both for the octave down as well as up. But here is the issue, the sound is amazing "IF" it is the sound you are looking for. if you are looking for an absolute true rendition of the note either one octave down or up, then be careful as the POG lends a very tuneful and slightly "organ" flavour to the note. Utterly cool if that is what you are looking for, but for me it was not quite what I was expecting. I also tried it on an electric tenor Ukelele with a mix of clean and sub octave, what a funky sound ! So, just be aware, the Micro POG is a superb tool creating some fabulous sounds, but it does have its own "colour". It is definitely going to get some use with the Ukelele, which was probably a million kilometres from the designers mind when they created it !!!

This thing is awesome. Crank up the volume on your valve amp, put some overdrive in front of it and plug in a guitar with humbucker pickups and you'll melt some faces. This pedal produces an unbelievably beefy, wide 3-octave output which is very much unique. It doesn't just sound like an octave'd guitar, it sounds like a different instrument - many times very organ-like. I've many times used this when playing cover gigs to simulate Deep Purple-style organ and it works really well if you play the right notes. It's however important to know that this pedal doesn't make everything sound good; you have to find your technique while using it.
A delightful pedal to experiment with and to produce a really wide sound range with just one guitar, and it combines well with other guitar effects. The build quality is sturdy, knobs very precise. A great buy if you're already happy with all your essential effects and want to try something new.

Amazing pedal
Absolutely loved the pedal. Two outputs (dry and effects) are very useful. I personally use this pedal with two amps for both signals and have tons of fun. With dry knob you can even turn of dry sound for effects output and leave only, let's say, octave above sound. Works like a charm when I want to distort my bass higher notes on guitar amp. Pedal also track really, really well. Haven't had any issues with that, even when I bent strings on my bass guitar. Overall I would recommend this pedal for any one who needs octave pedal, not only it's fun, it also inspires to create new music and really play with pedal and try out things :)

Why would you buy anything else?
If you're looking for a small pedal with excellent (and polyphonic) tracking then this is it. I use it for ambient chordal swells, and to make my guitar sound more like an organ. I was thinking about buying the POG2, but I realised I could achieve what I needed with this pedal.
Sturdy, small footprint, not too "artificial" sounding, true bypass, and the ability to individually adjust each octave - perfect!

Great pedal, easy to use (consider it as a POG2-light)
Great pedal but it might be better to spend a bit more on the POG 2, which offers many more settings.

Is there a God, or even a Бог?! Dunno, but there’s definitely a POG and it takes you to diminished seventh heaven and other harmonic landscapes with a smooth, fluid tone, AND it’s made in Noo Yoik! I love the blend which gives a fluid organ tone, makes 9s sound massive.
it responds better to high output pickups and i had issues with the on off switch, but a spot of WD40 fixed it...

Overpriced but it does the job
I bought this to do a cover of RoyalBlood typhoon and straight away it gave me the sound i needed with minimum setting up. This is the pro I have for this pedal. Its electroharmonix so you know it will never be cheap, reality is it is same electronics as a 30 euro pedal so in essence you really are paying for the name but otherwise a great pedal.

Classic is classic!
I already had a TC Sub'n'up, but Micro POG gives a very different flavour in its sound texture and response. I can't say which is better than another, but I do feel POG has a slightly lower latency than TC's pedal. I hook it up on my 9V 400mA power module (Voodoo ISO-5), and it works very well.

Little helper for soloing
On decent settings, this pedal sounds awesome and thickens your sound on solo´s and atmospheric clean stuff. There is one mix knob and two other knobs for Octave up/down - really easy to understand and user friendly!
