I always put mine first, right after the tuner, so it has the most stable signal to track.

That, however, may not be interesting…

I’d be inclined to say first in the chain, but that’s likely only because it’s got the word ‘octave’ in it so I naturally want to feed it a dry signal. If you watch the ‘Effectology’ vids you’ll notice that a lot of the time the POG (be it micro, or POG2) is placed after a big muff or some other distortion, and sometimes even after a modulation effect, whilst other times it’s second in the chain generally after a compressor, so I suppose you’ll just have to use trial and error to see where it sounds best for you.

Well actually it’s the wonders of EHX’s digital stuff, because most other digital pedals, be it Boss, Behringer, Digitech, Marshall, the usual bunch, can’t take a hot signal in, let alone track it! They clip nastily and AD converters clipping is one of the harshest sounds around, second only to nails on a blackboard. As a general rule you don’t put any drive or signal boosting pedal before a digital one for this very reason. I’ve got a Marshall RG-1 which is a digital modulation pedal, and just picking too hard will make that bugger distort!

EHX > the rest

Agreed!
