    Well, like Scott said, each pedal that leaves EHX is actually plugged in and tested so it cant have been like that when it left NYC. Seems like its been tampered with to me. (maybe someone wanted to look at the circuit and pulled it apart and couldn’t quite re assemble it) I’d be pointing the finger at the store or somebody visiting the store.

    You could always get in contact with the store and tell them you want another one, free shipping for the new one and the returned one.

    You can post a gut shot of the pedal, no worries. I don’t think anyone will reverse engineer it just from a picture, because the picture doesn’t show how it’s programmed. :)

    OK. I needn’t have worried about posting the pic. Fitting it under 75k meant a tiny compressed pic, so here it is. You can just about see the problem jack on the left of the picture. You can also see the three retaining screws presumably securing the pcb to the upper part of the enclosure. The s/n on the internal sticker matches the one on the product box, but not the one taped to the enclosure base. Weird. :freak:

    After two missed collections from the couriers who were supposed to be collecting the faulty POG2 and no date given for new stock to arrive, I gave up waiting and fixed the damn thing myself – it took me about two minutes.

    The pcb does bend by about 1-2 mm near the output jack, but it looks like it was designed with some give in it. So, sorry that I insisted that it must have come out the factory like that, evidently I was mistaken – I guess it just wasn’t quite in so tight to start with and just worked loose through vibration. :facepalm:

    Well, it seems to works fine anyway!

    Glad you got it working! :rawk:
