Hi everyone! i recently purchased a supposedly faulty EHX POG off ebay, but when i plugged the pedal in with correct 18V 500mA adapter the pedal worked fine! The pedal sounds great and i’m really pleased with it but there is a problem. I think whoever owned the pedal before had used the wrong power supply, resulting in the unit not powering up which led them to believe it was faulty. For this reason they had taken the 3 screws out that secure the slider-pots and circuit board to the chassis and also the ground wire from the base of the unit.

I opened the unit up to investigate and there doesn’t appear to be a ground wire connecting the output jack, power jack, circuit board and chassis. I’ve repaired a variety of pedals before (it’s a hobbie of mine) so i should be able to ground the jacks and chassis but seeing as a schematic doesn’t appear to be available for this pedal on the internet, i could use a bit of advice regarding the circuit board:

WHERE ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD SHOULD THE GROUND WIRE CONNECT?

There are several soldering points marked GND so i’m not sure what i should do…

If some of you guys have the answer to this question i would really appreciate it!

Technical issues aside, i am really impressed with this pedal! Before i got this pedal i used two boss pitch shifters and an EHX Electric Mistress (a rusty one i own from the 70s!) to create a vaguely convincing (though limited) organ sound, but the POG blows that setup out of the water! Therefore i extend many thanks to EHX for creating this amazing pedal along with all the other ones! I have owned a Deluxe Memory Man for 10 years (as well as a host of other pedals) which has never failed me!

Thanks for your time if you’ve read this,
