I use the SwitchBlade Pro as the center of my pedal board.
Tuner->Looper->SBP In
A Snd->EHX Pog->EHX Enigma Q-Balls->EHX Bass Soul Food->Compressor->EHX Bass Clone->EHX Oceans 11->A Rtn
B Snd -> HX Stomp In // HX Stomp Snd->B Rtn
SBP Out->Amp InI have all of the A-loop pedals on the top row of the pedalboard. On the bottom row, I have the Stomp, 2 aux foot switches, SBR Pro, Looper, and Tuner.
Most pedals (all of mine except the HX Stomp) have their input on the right and their output on the left. Same for the SBP input and output, BUT loop jacks are on the top and grouped together as A RTN & SND on the left top and B RTN & SND on the right top.
For cable routing, it would be more practical if the output, A RTN and B RTN were on the left side of the unit and the Input, A SND and B SND were on the right side of the unit. So sends would be on the same side of the pedal board as the inputs of most pedals, and the returns would be on the same side of the outputs of most pedals. Extra spacing between the jacks on the side would also help with the 90 degree patch cables.

|_____________________________|Electro-Harmonix are proud to introduce the latest in their line of polyphonic octave generators, the POG3. Released in 2005, the original POG revolutionized the world of octave pedals and became a favorite of the likes of Joe Satriani and Jack White. The POG2 followed with updates like programmable presets and an attack filter that helped the POG garner even more popularity among guitarists all over the world. With the biggest feature update to date, the POG3 becomes the most powerful polyphonic octave generator ever.

Building on the foundation laid by the original almost two decades ago, the heart of the POG3 is its polyphonic octave generating algorithm known for flawless and lightning-fast tracking while reproducing both single notes and chords with clarity and distinct tone. Updates include a +5th voice, 100 user presets, extensive I/O, enhanced effects section with individual dry effect routing, and expression control over almost every parameter of the pedal.
• Six separate voices: DRY, -2 OCT, -1 OCT, +5TH, +1 OCT, +2OCT
• 100 presets
• Three separate 1/4″ outputs – LEFT, RIGHT, DIRECT OUT
• Individual pan controls to separate voices between the LEFT and RIGHT output jacks
• Classic POG and POG2 ATTACK, FILTER, and DETUNE controls with enhancements
• INPUT GAIN control
• MASTER VOLUME control
• FOCUS control for +1 OCT and +2 OCT
• Multimode Filter with Q and Envelope sweep
• All controls can be saved to presets and controlled via expression and/or MIDI
• Illuminated slide pots and buttons
• 128×32 graphic OLED display
• Selectable “home” views to allow for personalized user experiences
• Easy-to-navigate menu system
• New NavCoder knob allows rotary and directional navigation through menus
• EXPRESSION / CV input offers multiple modes of expression
• USB-C port to connect to Windows or Mac and interface with EHXport™ appLearn more at http://www.ehx.com/pog3.
The Electro-Harmonix POG3 is available now, comes equipped with a high current EHX 9 Volt power supply and features a U.S. Street Price of $645.00.
Topic: C9 exaggerated attack noise
I have a C9 pedal which I bought used. I’m not surprised to experience some degree of transient noise with an effect like this but with the C9 it’s so loud as to overwhelm the musical sound and render the pedal pretty much useless. On electric guitar it’s almost as if I’m tapping a pickup polepiece with a screwdriver at the start of every note. Whether I’m playing gently as possible with my fingers or using a plectrum makes no difference. Surely this can’t be normal for this type pedal. Anyone else experienced this?
Comments, suggestions much appreciated. Thanks.
Topic: Hum Debugger PSU in NZ?
Hi there,
A friend has just purchased a new Hum Debugger and it has arrived with a 110v/60Hz PSU – not ideal. I have a collection of _similar_ PSUs that can output 7.5v 400mA, but the tip connector is not the same (does not fit). Can I use this and replace the tip with one on the original US EHX Hum Debugger PSU, or would this be a grievous mistake?I’ve been able to find a unit on Reverb (https://reverb.com/item/30889615-electro-harmonix-hum-debugger-power-supply-ac-adaptor-uk-version-new-with-full-warranty)
NZ standard mains power is 230V at 50Hz. I am guessing that a UK EHX PSU (like the one shown above) will output a slightly higher mA output (418mA vs 400mA) and that this should not pose much of an issue. If I can safely bodge together a solution with what I have to hand, then I am all for trying it, but I am keen not to let the smoke out.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
Topic: Dying EXH Silencer ?
Hey all,
A few days back I’ve encountered a problem with my Silencer noise gate.
À weird noise is happening as soon as the pedal is powered in ‘front’ mode (not using the fx loop in & out). Plugging in the pedal’s send and return seems to work fine, but in the in & out, weird noise when the gate isn’t triggered, pedal on or bypassed. Only when the gate is triggered, the noise disappears, but no signal passes through. In this case, lowering the threshold will result in the gate disengaging and the return of the said noise. Is the pedal dying?
The pedal was working fine until then, both in reducing (send/return) and mute (in/out) modes. Tested another pedal with the same power supply and cables and everything was fine. Of course, still tried another psu and other cables / amp, but same weird noise… I don’t know what to do. Has anyone encountered a similar issue with the Silencer ?
I’m asking because my entire pedalboard is looped thru an Empress Buffer+ that also provides a central I/O point which simplifies setup and teardown. I also have my OD/distortion pedals looped thru a noise gate. I’ve been on the hunt for a good buffer-friendly fuzz for some time and thought I’d give the Op Amp Big Muff a shot. I had a Big Muff Nano a while back; the tone wasn’t that great and I was thinking the buffer may have been why. Thoughts?
Hi – I’m really hoping I can fix this – Had this pedal 20 years, my absolute fav phaser, got it modded by Analog man in 2006. Today it got plugged into wrong polarity.. smelt burning – not not working – took it apart (pictures posted below) .. only visible damage is to one component.. I’m hoping that’s a diode and that replacing it will bring pedal back to life.. does anyone know the type and value of the burned out component (and whether the damage is likely to be limited to that part)? many thanks in advance – totally gutted if this ones fried. – G
