hi!
I broke the “2 octaves UP” slider. It’s a B5K, but dont’t know if it’s STEREO or MONO.

Thanks 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:

AFTER DESOLDERING:

Hi mortad! I had the same problem 2 years ago…still haven’t found the solution, man….this is so annoying.

check: http://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/2635/

after that, I bought the microsynth slider from newsensor’s website but obviously it didn’t work…it was a plastic bigger slider.

Then…a few months later I found another user with the same problem who posted on this forum, like you and me…

http://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/2390/

Then A few months after there was another post here (which has disappeared) where another user with the same problem contacted the European tech support in Germany:

http://www.musikhof.eu

at info@musikhof.de

and he managed to buy the replacements for his broken sliders. I contacted them twice with months between both emails…the first one they were asking me for 30€ to send it to Spain…the second time it was 50€ for the same thing. considering the alpha sliders are sh** quality and considering we are not stupid it’s easy to know that this pot is costing them at most 2€ and come on…shipping costs for an envelope with one or two faders from Germany to Spain are not more than 10€…it looks like an amazing business to me to get a 40€ benefit from the sale of two sliders, isn’t it?

I send the last email saying that I thought it was and abusive price…with CC to info@ehx.com …but got no answer from anywhere.

Now…I’m as lost as you are…I keep checking online every once in a while just to see if there’s news regarding this issue but…nothing.

I just contacted newsensor to see if I can get an answer. I can’t believe the only option is to expend 100€ sending the pedal to repair to the EH support service.

I would appreciate some response from the EH team regarding this problem…it’s not just one person who’s having the same problem…we’re a bunch of users with the same issue and no solution.

Mortad! Macho…que coñ±o hacemos hablando en inglés!! :oP

Man…the problem i have is I want to sell the POG2 as soon as I repair it…so I can’t do that and fix it with silicone. :o(

Let’s see if someone from EH says anything…I can’t believe you had to do that to fix the pedal…why is that impossible to find that same slider????? damn

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.

I’m based in the UK, but happy to help if I can. My boyfriend checked this forum before he gave me the pog and said it looked like it was tricky to locate the exact pots but I found it relatively straightforward. Audio is not normally what I do but I’m very familiar with electronics (I mended a bands mixing desk the other week and that was inexpensive also). The pots I got from Mouser work great and the digital signals all works fine. I’ll check to see why you have an intermitting signal..

Hello Everybody,
Why is EHX never answering?? i have a 10KB pot on a HOG2 and no way to find it anywhere…
if someone can help it will be apreciated
thanks
