Not intending to rain on the parade here, but modding a Micro POG’s bypass poses a few challenges:
A) The switch is typically mounted either directly onto the main board or its on miniature board, wired to the main board. Pray you have the second type. I haven’t seen the board layout of a Micro POG yet, so I’m not sure which it uses.
Even more of an issue than the switch, regardless of how it’s connected to the board, are the jacks. They’re typically mounted onto the main board in XO pedals.C) You’d need to be pretty precise with your soldering iron, since you’ll be working around SMDs.
D) The easiest way to do this would be to disconnect the Dry Output entirely from the circuit, but that doesn’t eliminate your primary problems in performing the mod.
This is one of those pedals where the mod may be a major hassle. I haven’t seen the underside, but I’ve seen the undersides of enough XO pedals to be wary of even replacing the LED. Of course, the LED replacement/”upgrade” is actually fairly easy in comparison.
