LEFT, RIGHT, DIRECT Buttons

Press the LEFT, RIGHT, and DIRECT buttons to enable their respective outputs. The POG3 remembers the state of these outputs separately for EFFECT and BYPASS modes and their states are saved to each preset.

EXP Button

Press and release the EXP button to enable the expression input. Press and hold the EXP button for 2 seconds to enter the Expression menu.

OLED Graphical Display

Shows essential information such as preset number, preset name, status of all outputs and buttons, and more. Use the NavCoder knob to navigate around the display.

NAVCODER Knob

Allows you to navigate menus, parameters, and presets as well as adjust settings. The NavCoder provides the following movements: 1)Rotate clockwise and counterclockwise to scroll through values, presets, and lists, 2) Center press (push straight down) for preset load/unload and choosing menu options. Center press and hold for preset save, and 3) Directional pad (D-pad) in four directions: up, down, left, and right, allows for easy navigation around menus and screens.

MASTER VOL Knob

Controls the POG3’s overall output volume.

PAN Knobs

Allow each voice to be moved within the stereo field, from hard left to hard right and anywhere in between.

Q Knob

Adjusts the resonance of the FILTER. As Q is turned clockwise, the sound of the filter becomes peakier, making the filter effect more pronounced.

ENV Knob

Adjusts the depth of envelope sweep applied to the Filter frequency. A positive envelope sweeps the frequency upward from the FILTER slider’s setting and a negative envelope sweeps the frequency downward from the FILTER slider’s setting. The ENV knob’s center position disables the envelope.

SPREAD Knob

Independent of the DETUNE slider, teh SPREAD knob introduces a short delay line on the +5th, +1, and +2 voices, and the Dry voice when the DETUNE DRY button is enabled. The two suboctave voices do not go through the Spread effect. The Right channel delay time is 3x longer than the Left delay time producing a wide stereo spectrum. Right delay time maximum is 150ms while the Left maximum is 50ms. Helpful Hint: Disable Dry Detune to make best use of the Spread effect when the POG3 is routed in mono.

DRY Slider

Control the output volume of the dry/unison signal.

VOICE SLIDERS

Controls the volume of the -2, -1, +5th, +1 and +2 octave voices.

Attack Slider

Controls the attack envelope of all octave voices. As the ATTACK slider is pushed upward, the attack time increases producing a volume swell effect. Maximum attack time is 3 seconds. Push the ATTACK slider down to its minimum position to disable the attack effect. The attack effect will also work on the DRY signal whenever the DRY button below it is lit.

FILTER Slider

Controls the cutoff or center frequency of the multimode resonant filter. As the FILTER slider is pushed upward, the filter frequency rises. The FILTER control can be used to shape the tone of the POG3’s voices. All of the generated signals go through the FILTER. The dry signal can also be routed through the FILTER when the DRY button below the FILTER slider is lit. By default, the filter is set to Low-Pass. More filter options are available in the FILTER menu which is accessed by pressing and holding the DRY Filter button for about 2 seconds.

DETUNE Slider

Controls the amount of chorus/doubling effect applied to the +1 and +2 Octave signals. As the DETUNE slider is pushed up, the depth of the detune effect increases. When DETUNE is pushed down to its minimum position, the detune function is disabled. The DETUNE slider may also be applied to the dry signal by enabling the DRY button below the DETUNE slider.

INPUT GAIN Slider

Controls the level of the signal seen at the POG3’s input. The gain of this control ranges from 0.5-3X.

FOCUS Button

Toggles between the original POG octave algorithm and the Pitch Fork style algorithm for the +1 and +2 octave voices. The POG algorithm, which features lower latency, is active with the FOCUS button off. The Pitch Fork algorithm is active when the FOCUS button is lit. Focus allows the +1 and +2 voices to engage in whammystyle pitch bends and freeze effects when using Expression Warp and the two Freeze modes. Please note: Focus changes the algorithm for both the +1 and +2 octave voices simultaneously.

DRY Buttons

The DRY buttons below the ATTACK, FILTER, and DETUNE sliders route the dry signal through the corresponding effects when lit.

PRESET LED

The PRESET LED lights solid green when a preset is loaded and blinks when a loaded preset has been edited. The PRESET LED is off when no preset is loaded, as in LIVE mode.

EFFECT LED

The EFFECT LED lights solid to indicate the POG3 is in effect mode and is off in bypass.

PRESET DOWN Footswitch

Activates the current preset and then, with subsequent presses, scrolls down and loads the next preset. Press and hold this footswitch to scroll down quickly through the presets. Press the PRESET DOWN and PRESET UP footswitches at the same time to deactivate the current preset and return to LIVE mode.

PRESET UP Footswitch

Activates the current preset and then, with subsequent presses, scrolls up and loads the next preset. Press and hold this footswitch to scroll up quickly through the presets. Press the PRESET UP and PRESET DOWN footswitches at the same time to deactivate the current preset and return to LIVE mode.

EFFECT FOOTSWITCH

The EFFECT footswitch toggles the POG3 between effect mode and buffered bypass.

DIRECT OUT JACK

The DIRECT OUT jack is an unbalanced, low impedance output, which carries a buffered version of the signal present at the INPUT jack. Direct Out is enabled or muted by the DIRECT button on the top panel of the POG3. The output impedance presented at this jack is 550Ω. The maximum output level is +12.5dBu.

POWER Jack

Connect the output plug of the factory-supplied AC adapter into the 9VDC power jack. The current requirement is 300mA at 9VDC. The polarity of the power jack is centernegative. The maximum allowable power supply voltage is 10.5 VDC.

L & R OUTPUT Jacks

The LEFT and RIGHT OUTPUT jacks are unbalanced, low impedance outputs. Connect these outputs to amplifiers, a mixer, audio interface, tape recorder or any other suitable device. Use the PAN controls on the front of the POG3 to split or blend the various voices between these two jacks in fun and creative ways. You may also quickly mute or unmute these outputs using the LEFT and RIGHT buttons on the top panel. The output impedance sourced by each of these jacks is 550Ω. The maximum output level is +7.2dBu

USB Port

Connects to the Electro-Harmonix EHXport app running on a Windows or Mac computer. EHXport allows for preset editing and creation, preset transfers—for backup, restore and preset rearrangement within the POG3, firmware updates, and global settings adjustments.

MIDI IN Jack

Connect a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cable to this connector to receive MIDI Control Change (CC), Program Change (PC), and MIDI Note messages. Using MIDI CC and PC messages, you can control every parameter on the POG3’s top panel. MIDI Note messages allow you to play the POG3 from a MIDI keyboard controller, turning it into an organ or synthesizer module.

MIDI OUT Jack

Connect a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cable to this connector. MIDI OUT provides a MIDI Thru connection.

INPUT Jack

The 1/4″ INPUT jack is an unbalanced, high impedance input intended for both instruments and line level signals. The Input can accept signal amplitudes up to +6.2dBu. The input impedance presented at this jack is 2MΩ.

EXP / CV IN Jack

Supports either an expression pedal with a 1/4″ TRS plug or a control voltage ranging from 0-5V on a TS plug. Nearly all the top panel features can be controlled via expression pedal or CV and expression control is easy to setup via the expression menu. The Exp/CV In jack will accept any expression pedal that uses a potentiometer ranging from 10kΩ to 100kΩ and has the wiper connected to the tip (T) of the plug.

POWER JACK

An optional 9VDC, center-negative power supply can be connected to the power jack to provide power without a battery. The Lizard King requires 8mA at 9VDC on a center-negative plug. Do not exceed 12VDC at the power jack.

Sets the output level of the Lizard King.

OCTAVE KNOB

Controls the intensity of the octave effect. Turn clockwise for more octave, or turn counterclockwise for a deeper sound.

SUN/SHADOW SWITCH

Enhances the octave fuzz and clean tones of the Lizard King. With this switch set to SUN, the octave fuzz is boosted with a more driving midrange, and the clean tone accessed by the BLEND knob has more treble and bass frequencies. When the switch is set to SHADOW, the clean tone is unchanged, and fuzz tone is tighter.

BLEND KNOB

Blends between the fuzz/octave and a clean signal with no fuzz. This is useful for maintaining the attack and low-end for bass instruments, and for allowing more harmonic detail for guitar or other chord instruments. When Blend is set fully counterclockwise, the output is a clean tone. As the knob is turned clockwise, more fuzz tone is mixed in. When Blend is set fully clockwise, the output is all octave fuzz effect.

TONE KNOB

Controls the high frequencies of the Lizard King. When the knob is fully clockwise the pedal is “wide open” – passing the full fuzz tone. As this knob is turned counterclockwise, high frequencies are rolled off.
