I broke the “2 octaves UP” slider. It’s a B5K, but dont’t know if it’s STEREO or MONO.I think it’s mono. Check the answer in the thread, you have some contact that might be helpful.
I’m replying to an old post, so I suspect this is not relevant to you now. I have just mended my boyfriends pog 2 which had 3 broken pot sliders. They are 5k pots, I got the replacements from Mouser Electronics. They are inexpensive and straightforward to replace.
Hello Julie !
Thanks for the answer. I replaced it with this slider as I wrote before in this post, but still have some strange issues: when I switch the pedal the light starts to blink and I have to wait 1 minute for it to stop.I’m taking a look to http://www.mouser.es and they’re from Spain, so am I. Are you from Spain too?
By the way: whick 5k mono slider model did you bought from http://www.mouser.es to fix the POG 2 ?
Many many thanks Julie !!mortadMemberso then… Any Micro Pog 2nd hand for sale?
mortadMemberThanks for the reply.
I know a pic is not the solution, but al least I could see the value of R3.I emailed EHX (info at ehx dot com) and they say:
“…we can only release the schematics to our Authorized Service Centers. We have 3, one in the states, one in Germany, and one in the UK….”
So I contacted with the Germany Center and they told me to send the pedal to them.But my Micro Pog is 2nd hand, out of warranty, so I’m afraid I’d pay the pedal’s value for just the repair (or maybe more!!).
So… To be continued…
mortadMemberOk, Ok… Let’s try something different.
COULD ANYONE SEND ME A PIC OF THIS PEDAL’S PCB AREA? It’s just next to the INPUT JACK … It would be nice if the components are not FRIED like mine.
Thanks againmortadMemberI think FB1 is a Ferrite Bead.
Could anyone guess what is DD2 ??… Maybe a Diode?, but with three pins??mortadMemberWhich electronic components could be FB1 and DD2?
mortadMemberHey Isrvel ! (soy de Logroñ±o !)
I bought a B5K slide pot like THIS on Futurlec.comThis slide pot is almost identical to the original ALPHA pots from EHX pedals, but there’s an internal difference: IT’s REVERSED.
But you can invert it just cutting one leg and adding another leg (with a little wire) and IT WORKS !!
After that I soldered the 3 holes and later I applied some silicon to keep it fixed to the PCB.Of course is not so “proffesional” like if you have the original ALPHA slide pot, but is 0’30 € agaist 30 € !!!
Hope this could help.
Regards !
mortadMemberNot any answer yet ??
Though people would be interested in a way to fix broken sliders.Anyway I did my homework but cannot see any interest in this forum to sort this problem out.
mortadMemberThanks for the info…
Sadly I have to say that I ordered two B5K MONO and two B5K STEREO from http://www.futurlec.com, but I did it AFTER reading your post, cause I WAS SO NERVOUS and DESPERATE that didn’t read all the post.
Anyway I wrote to info@musikhof.de but they tell me to send’em the pedal, and I’m trying to get ONLY the slider pot.In this moment I have the POG2 without the “+2 OCTAVE UP” slider (I desoldered it), and when I plug it in, the PRESET SWITCH starts blinking… Then I press it but it DOESN’T STOP BLINKING NOR CHANGE PRESETS… I have to wait around 2 minutes till the PRESET Switch stops blinking and is ready to change PRESETS, but maybe, after 7 minutes starts blinking again (and changing the PRESET sound where I was playing).
Anway I think there’s something wrong too with the pedal, apart of the broken slider, of course:
Do you think it’s a consequence after breaking the slider?By the way: I did’t break the pedaaaal !!!… Someone did it in the band’s rehearsal room !!! grrrrr…
Here’re some pics:
