Our ‘job’ as admin is to keep the forum spam free, moderate any inappropriate content and keep the forum chugging along for it’s users (including ourselves). It is not our job to answer any questions about anything, we do help when we can, just like any other forum member would.

I wish there were a member of EHX tech support logged in at all times to answer questions here but there isn’t…. and if a forum member (admin or otherwise) can’t help you will told to contact EHX, that’s not always the ideal solution but it’s the only one we have to offer. I don’t like that fact anymore than you do, but there’s nothing we can do about it.

It’s not that we are moaning about not being paid to be tech support, we aren’t tech support.. most of us are just musicians and effects users with little technical knowledge especially on new products that most of us don’t even own. You can ask whatever technical questions you like here and sometimes another member may be able to answer, but that’s as far as it goes. If you don’t like the answer you get that’s kinda tough, it’s an open forum not EHX tech support.

no worries, write that info down and next time someone else asks the same you can look like a ‘clever clogs’ too!

‘137’ means it was made by CTS ‘8036’ means it was made in 1980 on the 36th week..september is that??

so your pedal would probably have been made around 1981 at a guess.

They have them for £89 at iMuso btw … probably the cheapest I’ve seen them.

It’s sounds like the switch for sure, if you can solder or know someone that can, buy a 3pdt switch and replace it, that should sort it out.

well, as you can see there seems to be a lot of POG related stuff in this section at the moment, but I have owned a micropog and I never had any issues with it at all … and I guess out of the thousands sold it seems only a few that have problems, but it’s hard to say, a lot of people that post on here think they have problems when they don’t (my big muff hisses when I turn the sustain to maximum) .. I mean that’s not a fault, it’s a high gain 4 transistor fuzz, they all make a bit of noise when you crank them. There’s also a lot of 2880 threads but I’ve never owned one so it’s hard to say if the unit is faulty or the person has messed it up somehow or just not understanding something. For example when the Hazarai came out a lot of people were complaining about the loop being played back at a lower volume, it wasn’t a fault it was people not bothering to read the instructions. I really think it’s almost impossible to answer these kind of things on a forum without going back and forth saying “have you tried this” “have you tried that” … I’m a little suspicious sometimes too that the person has either plugged in the wrong power supply and blown it up or bought it off ebay ‘broken’ and then come here trying to get it fixed for nothing… so it’s kind of hard to say if i’m totally honest. I’d say footswitches breaking (especially in older pedals) is the most common thing, but that can happen to any pedal by any brand.

There’s a thread somewhere (i’ll try and find it if you can’t) which is “list your favorite ehx pedals from best to worst” or something like that…. if you look through that you might see a pattern of what’s hot and what’s not.
