i think its because its not functional, ill never understand why builders make their guitar pedals so that you use it with yr fingers and not yr feet, looks like some sick irony

Cryabetes, I have no idea whether after a year youd still like to know the resistance, but taking my chances, seems like its a 1 M log pot with a 220 pf cap. theres also a diode 1N4004 to keep the current flowing away from the battery/dc ground, but thats it, the rest is for the led. i dont know why it sucks the tone like ppl say, the cap should do the trebble bleed i guess. but maybe a better option is using a booster (like the lpb1, or the screaming bird:)) instead of the pad to not lose the trebble when cutting volume? i dont know.. if anyone has a better option im all ears

1) i was using it powered by the gator g-bus 8 (kind of a dunlop’s dc brick clone), with some low ground noise (due to grounding problems), but recently it started to get whacky (my big muffs started to make a lot of noise if the pog was connected to the gbus, even on bypass) and since then ive only been using the power supply included with the pedal with no noise. so, to try to answer your question, i dont think it will run alright with the 1spot, i think it will be noisy, BUT it is possible to power it as long as you have some spare mA (the pog probably consumes around 200 mA, so if the other pedals dont consume all the 1spot mA, it will work)

2) from what ive read, youll definitely have no problems (provided you have the spare mA)

3) id put the pog before the big muff, but only because the volume gets uncontrollable at times when both are on. if youre not calculating everything you do, you get surprise loud sounds (could be solved though with a volume pedal), really loud. in another thread http://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/6056/ im searching for a limiter to cope with these ‘surprise’ volume bursts.

if not for the big muff, id put the pog before the crybaby, cause otherwise the filtering sound of the wah wont be as accentuated as before. a good rule of thumb for placing pedals is placing last the pedals you like the most, because their sound will be louder when mixing effects. if you put the pog after, i think the crybaby will lose much of its force and get kind of bleached by the pog – obviously only if both are on, because the pog2 is true bypass.

and this draws me to my last conclusion: the boss pedals are not at all true bypass, and if you put the pog before or after them youll hear a huge difference. i place my pog before a boss ps-5, it annoys me a bit but its an ok trade-off. but putting it before more pedals that have coloring bypasses will destroy a (considerable) bit of pogs tone, it wont sound as beautiful or as rich as if you placed it after the ‘untrue’ bypass.

youre right about the combo+dirtboxes, my setup is much more limited (although ive got my share of modulation effects). and also about how we use our pedals, i use a lot the q (usually at least at 1) and detune (just a bit of), and all the time the lp filter. the problem of sticking to the settings is that it only has 8 presets, and for example i use one setting at 2 songs. the problem is that in one song the volume is going way high (im using the comp to counter it), but if i was to record a new preset just for this song, soon enoguh id run out of slots. and its so simple to fix this, i think ehx would add a lot of value to the pog putting a simple slider (could be horizontally, beetween the footswitches to allow easier live tweakability), just a log pot, that went along with a booster/boosted signal to control the master volume. but its just my opinion.

you got me curious about your setup, do you have any recordings? i never thought of using a bass amp together with a guitar amp, with so many effects it made me even more interested. im not that much into doom metal, but it would be cool to see what youre doing, that sounds pretty wild to me
