HEY EHX
hows things ?
just brieflly i got the pog2 pedal today, for whilst its an awesome pedal i dont know if mine is working properly. i say this because ive watched videos and used other people’s settings and it doesnt sound like it should, for instance the 12 string effect just sounds too high pithched and warbly. ive tried to change things around but nothing seems to adding to it.
also with this pedal where is the best place to put it? i have tried it after distortion, with this if i use the dry FX button, none of the distortion is coming through at all, even with tweaking the sliders. and before distortion, when engaging the big muff it alters the sound of the pog2.
the pedals i am using in my chain are (not in order)
EHX White Finger
EHX DMM
EHX Double Muff
EHX Big Muff Tone Wicker
EHX Stereo Electric Mistress
Boss Tu2
EHX Holy Grail
EHX POG2and occasioally the EHX WORM
what order would you put these in ? dont include the effects loop as mine is awful on the marshall
cheers

DMMbut now ive got the pog2 ive took the micro off and tried it both before dis and after but when its before and i turn the muff on and if i have the dry signal feature on, it kills of the muff sound and if its after it completey changes the sound
i spose its just a case of playing around with it and stuff you know ?
April 13, 2010 at 7:15 pm #109281ToonsterMemberYes, pedal-order mostly is just a matter of taste..
April 14, 2010 at 11:17 am #109294AshjaahsMuffParticipantsince ive got the pog2 ive spent the last good couple of hours messing around with my chain and bits n bobs and heres what ive come up with and its aweosme
Gibson Les Paul / Fender 72 Custom Tele – EHX Big Muff Tone Wicker – EHX POG2 – EHX White Finger – EHX English Muff’n – EHX Double Muff – EHX Holy Grail – EHX Stereo Electric Mistress – EHX DMM – Boss Tu2
this combination sounds awesome, really happy with it now, i hope to replace the SEM for a small clone at some point and possbily add a memory toy and a switchblade, and possibl another tuner but other than that im chuffed to bits !!! pics will be up soon, just recharging my camera.
April 14, 2010 at 6:52 pm #109335AshjaahsMuffParticipantjust a quickie again about the +1 +2 octaves
mine dont work when just sliding them up, or at least to my ears they dont.
unless when i have either the lp filer slider up, or the detune up
is this a problem ? should they just work on there own or do i need to have the effects section on aswell ??

where do you have the filter slider? as long as it’s not all the way down (and certainly from half-way and up), you should be hearing a significant change when adjusting the upper octave sliders…
i find they’re very sensitive and small changes make a big difference.it sounds like there may be a problem.

yh after i have the lp flter slider up after about 3 lines i can hear a change with the upper octaves but i thought you could perhaps use the upper ones without having to use the filter, or do you have to use the filter to use the upper ones ?
thanks mate

oh, it sounds like it’s working correctly then…
the octaves always go through the filter section.
when the filter is ‘off’, the slider will be all the way UP…
as you bring it down, you are filtering off the treble frequencies, so it makes sense that with the filter slider dialed right down, you won’t hear much in the way of treble, so the upper octaves will be heavily attenuated.does that make sense?

April 15, 2010 at 9:33 pm #109397electro-melxModeratorQuote:and i hear the micro pog isnt. . .strangeIt is a bit strange, the bypass on the micropog is great imo, if ‘true bypass’ wasn’t such a selling buzzword then we might have been able to have it on all the XO’s, I’d bet it would solve every ‘volume drop’ complaint we ever get on here. IMO high quality well designed output buffers are the way forward but ill-informed consumers demand clunky old noisy mechanical switching instead … :freak:

i totally agree!
i find it kind of strange that most manufacturers make a big deal of using true bypass switching, when it’s actually a bit of a cop out; true bypass is easier and cheaper to implement than a decent buffer would be!
there are some companies who still use buffers; obviously the likes of Boss, but also higher end pedals by the likes of Tech 21, Award-Session, Durham Electronics and Roger Mayer.
April 17, 2010 at 12:34 am #108826ToonsterMemberYeah, but true-bypass is the magic word the past years of course, everybody only wants true-bypass so it seems..
I don’t care, if a pedal sounds cool switched on, I want it, I don’t hear problems in my effectschain at the moment, but if I will hear it I just use some effects loops and buffer pedals..
