    Micropog isn’t, the reason it isn’t (probably) is so the dry signal when on can be identical to your dry signal when off…. ie if you turn the ‘dry’ up and leave the octaves right down on the pedal when you click the switch there will be no difference.

    In my experience you can put it anywhere and it won’t make much difference, unlike an analogue octave effect it will track anything just fine, I used to run mine after my dirt pedals.

    Is it wrong for me to say that I laughed a lot watching that? :D

    I think it was all the camera dropping and stuff. :)

    I don’t really know what to suggest but be careful poking around with the internal transformer (the little black box), it can store quite a lot of voltage.

    yeah, it runs on 12v AC (not dc, like most pedals) … I presume you are using the correct supplied power supply.

    they are both very different, but to put it simply

    SMMH- Pros: reverse delays, looping, repeats that fade in etc etc … more features than you can imagine.. Cons: reading the manual a few times is a must.

    DMM- Cons: doesn’t do all the stuff the SMMH does. Pros:NOTHING else sounds quite like a DMM, simple to use.

    Might be worth looking at the ‘deluxe memory boy’ too…. (just to make things more complicated)

    I suppose it depends … if you can design a brilliant effect and sell that brilliant design to a company like EHX then it won’t matter what qualifications you have because the proof that you can do it will be right there. … but of course you’d need to acquire the knowledge to be able to design something like that in the first place. I’d look into all courses that are available and see which you think would be the most useful.

    Does anyone have a working POG2? Anyone? Because I ordered mine yesterday, would it be wise to just cancel the order?

    yeah, a friend of mine has one and it works fine.. he bought it when they first came out… this seems like a recent thing to me…. I didn’t hear anything before this thread.

    I think he’s talking about the footswitch maybe?

    “I found that the 16 second delay’s footswitch will work to control most of the features, or the 2880 controller is also available. This pedal is true bypass using a relay (we can mod it for remote on.off jack operation). The LED is a status LED that lights up when the pedal is ON.”

    the 2880 itself isn’t a pedal and doesn’t have any kind of bypass does it?

    Have you thought about getting a tone wicker? that would give you a couple more options on the stock sound.

    How come these shirts aren’t available in all colors at all sizes? I really want a yellow shirt but its only available in medium and I need X-large. I have the red one in XL, but really, really want the yellow one!

    I can’t really think of any reason ‘how come’ it’s just the way it is. Each size has their own colours….

    it’s a bit like saying “how come the mini q-tron is called mini, when a Big Muff is called big and they are the same size?” … things rarely make sense in the crazy world of Mike Matthews!!!! :D

    it’s a metronome.. plug it into am amp.

    what would you use an input for?

    I’ve been spending my time listening to the unabridged Bill Bryson’s ‘a short history of nearly everything’ on audio book… you can get the unabridged version on download (19 hours) I think the CD versions are all abridged.

    Very interesting, very funny.

    I don’t off-hand to be honest, try googling ‘Guitar pedal mods’ and see what turns up… there are a lot of people around who do stuff like this. I’m not in the USA though (I presume you are) so the people I know are in the UK.

    thanks for the review. I have to admit, they do make it look very pretty but the sound clips on the Sovtek modded version aren’t really outstandingly different, especially for the money

    my ability/knowledge of actual soldering and circuitboards is zero and will likely stay that way but thanks again.

    yeah, the problem there is you are paying for loads of stuff that will make little or no difference to the actual sound (in my opinion)

    *Upgraded vintage transistors for a smoother Fuzz tone that also allows the pedal to breath and hold more dynamics.

    Changing resistors won’t make a pedal breath or have more dynamics in my experience.

    *Added Mids knob: This added knob gives you FULL control of the Pedals Mids. From super scooped (Classic Big Muff) to a big “Push” you can dial in some really texturized Muff Fuzz tones. This provides a BIG range. Really dramatic.

    Could be useful

    *Clipping section is beefed up to get more touch and a more natural compression feel for the gain strucutre.

    Beefed up to get more touch? mmmm….. what does that mean?

    *Each transistor is fine tuned in the circuit to get the most out of each stage of the pedal.

    rrriiiigggghhhhttt…..

    *We ditch the obnoxious “pin” style 9v adapter and Mod it to fit the “Boss” style 9v (center pin neg). Pedal also comes with a battery

    obnoxious? that used to be the USA standard connection until Boss came along…

    *Ultra Clear Super Bright LED; color of your choice of course! Choose from Blue, White, Red, Green, Orange or Yellow

    Pointless

    *Upgraded aluminum knobs, MUCH higher quality and they look great!

    Pointless

    *Upgraded Input and Output jacks; we upgrade the generic cheap ones to Switchcraft: the best brand of jacks used in top of the line custom amps.

    I’ve never had a socket fail on a USA ehx pedal.

    *Upgraded Battery Clip/Holder. These are a hard plastic instead of the flimsy plastic.

    pretty pointless. flimsy plastic works fine provided the battery is clipped into it’s holder.

    $60? looks like a waste of money to me if i’m honest.

    go here….

    …to understand what mods will do what to your pedal, ask what exactly the mods involve before parting with any cash…. if possible find a friend, parent, friends parent, friendly local electronics wizz and ask them to do the mods you’ve chosen from that page, most of it is very simple stuff to anyone who knows anything about simple electronics.

    EDIT: you’ll have to copy/paste the broken link. :)
