holy grail (spring, knob set to 9 o’clock) -> wiggler (subtle tremolo).

bridge pickup.

it sounds completely different running it before or after distortion. running it after gives you a smoother sound that alot of people seem to prefer – difficult to describe, but you’ll know it when you hear it. running it into distortion gives you that super gnarly deeppurple-type hammond grind; you know that nasty fuzzy mess in the white stripes’ blue orchid? that’s the sound you get running the pog2 before distortion. it’s my preferred tone, but try it both ways to see which sound you like better.

other than that, i would run it before the volume pedal. actually i would run it before everything except for a tuner (and maybe a phaser).

firstly: how are you powering them? if you have everything daisychained, that is likely your problem. give the pog2 its own power supply, that should fix the issue, and if you can, run the muff off of batteries – less line noise that way.

if you’re powering everything separately, try putting the big muff before the tuner – the buffer may be causing issues down the line, fuzz pedals usually work best if you put them immediately after your guitar. if the tuner is true bypass then you may have to put the pog2 in front of the LBM and try that.

i wouldnt say i hate the record, i’m just not a fan of the new ‘arena rock’ green day. too many of the tracks remind me of u2, which i find to be a bad thing, although had the record sounded like dookie pt.2 i would have liked it even less. at least they’re trying new things and moving forward rather than stagnating (like bad religion and the vandals, as much as it pains me to say it).

my favorite green day record was nimrod just because they threw a billion ideas at the wall and saw which ones stuck – it was their white album, basically, and i love that style of recordmaking. so in summation: even though i dont like the new direction green day has taken, i still respect them for progressing and moving forward. and i also hope that the next record is different from anything they have ever done before.

i think you mean HER pedals.

yeah, im 99% sure it’s just an output volume knob.

the only reason im not 100% sure is because i haven’t played one yet, but like on the newer true bypass dmm it’s there so you can either get unity gain, drop volume a bit to clean up a dirty amp or get a boost for solos/louder bits. the older dmm’s gain knob actually controlled output volume when the effect was disengaged as well, so you always had unity gain.

fwiw, i’ve had an 80gb ipod classic for two years and it’s never bothered me when new ones come out.

you could get shot… but it’s a silly shot because boss make some damn fine products.
