    I recently purchased a POG and promptly got it in my signal path. The first thing I noticed was noise I can only describe as sounding like a high Q sweeping filter gaining up signal noise – almost like a flanger. With the POG switched off, I do not hear this noise. Changing the LPF slider changes this sweep characteristic as well.

    Is this normal for the POG? Have others experienced this same sweeping high Q filter type noise with your POGs?

    Thanks.

    Doesn’t sound normal to me. It sounds like the POG is octaving and filtering some noise from somewhere in your chain.

    Could very well be a power supply issue.

    I have tried running to the POG with no effects before it.
    Guitar->POG->Amp effects return.
    Also tried
    Guitar->POG->PodXT Live->Headphones.
    I’ve used two different guitars and various cables. I could try just grounding/shunting the POG input with nothing before it. I’m using the power supply that came with the unit. Can you recommend a filter technique to eliminate possible supply noise? Can I record the noise on my Delta44 and post the MP3?

    EDIT
    I suppose if it’s AC coupled I wouldn’t need an input shunt to ground the signal path.
