Detail 01
Polyphonic tracking
Full chords track cleanly. Older octave pedals glitch on anything but single notes, which limits them to lead lines.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Polyphonic octave pedal that tracks full chords, not just single notes. For guitarists adding organ, 12-string or bass-octave layers.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a bass octave under chords in a two-piece band
- Faux 12-string jangle on clean rhythm parts
- Garage and blues-rock players wanting a thicker single-guitar sound
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting octave fuzz grit rather than clean pitch layers
- Anyone needing pitch bends, whammy sweeps or presets
- Boards where 4 by 4.76 inches will not fit
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Separate dry, sub-octave and octave-up levels
You blend each layer independently, so the effect ranges from a subtle thicken to a full organ stack.
Detail 03
Sub-octave output
Covers bass parts in a guitar-and-drums duo when sent to a second amp or a bass channel.
Detail 04
Octave-up output
Blended lightly under a clean chord, this is the 12-string shimmer, no second guitar needed.
Detail 05
4.02 x 2.24 x 4.76 inch enclosure
Deeper than a standard compact pedal. Measure the front-to-back gap on your board, not just the width.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Power supply is a separate purchase; check your board has a free output
- 02Place it before dirt and delay, or tracking gets unreliable
- 03Best results come from clean pickups and accurate fretting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it track chords or only single notes?
Chords. Polyphonic tracking is the point of this pedal, so strummed rhythm parts stay clean where a traditional analog octave pedal would stutter and glitch.
02Can it replace a bass player?
The sub-octave covers low end in a duo, especially split to a bass amp. It sits under your guitar rather than replacing a bassist's phrasing and note choice.
03Where in the signal chain?
First, or very early. Feed it a clean guitar signal. Distortion or heavy compression before it confuses the tracking.
04How is this different from the full-size POG?
The Micro trims the control set to dry, sub-octave and octave-up levels in a smaller box. Same polyphonic tracking, fewer voices and no filter or attack shaping.
