    Does anyone have suggestions as to where to put the Pog 2 on a pedalboard? Right now I have the following in this order:

    Tuner, Wah Wah, distortion, Phaser, Delay, Reverb, Vol

    Quote:
    And I would have the pog2 after distortion. I had only the Micropog but I liked it after filters and fuzz. I guess it depends on what the distortion is. The whole Pog line really does sound good all the way down the chain.

    Me too. :thumb:

    I’ve used all the POGs (currently have a POG2) and I pretty much always put them after my OD/dist/fuzz pedals…

    and I’d put the phaser before the distortion too.

    i have been having problems with my freeze. i only use it in latch mode. when i step on the pedal i frequently (but not always) get no response (sound or LED). When the pedal does “respond” there is still no audio and the LED flashes once or twice. I had to wait a long time to get my hands on this thing and it has not worked consistently. now it seems to do nothing but occasionally flash. PLEASE HELP.

    Return it for a refund/replacement.

    the stone and the Q centre postive the rest are negative, so I guess they dont want to be daisied with different polarities, the stone works 100% on its own however I think my Doctor Q is broken, in fact I think it may of been broken long ago, I thought it was a dying battery, however the LED was very bright, the pedals was sound pretty uneffective, and the range knob was doing virtually nothing, however the bass switch had an effect, now using an adaptor it is doing the same thing, either I’ve put the final nail in the coffin or it was already broken, Tbh not a favourite pedal of mine but still a pain in the arse if its broken.

    I’ve daisy chained various classic-chassis EHX pedals (inc. Small Stone) with other pedals…

    while the DC input on the Small Stone and others is a centre-positive mini-jack type, the circuit itself still has a negative ground.

    If a pedal cannot be daisy-chained, it is usually stated in the instructions (and/or printed on the pedal itself).

    What kind of audio cables are you using?

    2 custom made terminators with neutrik ends, they are quite short, and then in between some small patch cables, one is a warick. As I said before not only was I not recieving signal, but a small amount charge was coming through the casing and other metal parts on my pedals.

    The reason I asked about the cables, is that the only time I’ve ever had a charge from my pedals was when I had a dodgy cable.
    I’m not saying that’s the case here, but it is a possibility.

    My head is spinning, so from the above I have gathered not to mix analogue and digital, daisy chaining pedals in the wrong polarity will fry them, and the 1spot vintage adaptors also reverse polarity. Ok im a tad confused, my pedal rig was setup in the following order: my metal muff into my doctor Q to my small stone (both classic versions) running into my marshall supervibe, and finally my boss DD7, the boss, marshall and metal muff are all centre negative, and I was obviously using the 1spot vintage adaptors for the stone and the Q, as I mentioned in my first post the setup was not working, but also the LED’s were lighting up, and a very small amount of charge was coming through the pedal casings. I have actually proceeded to purchase 1spot polarity converter assuming I would need to put them in front of the vintage adaptors, however mentioned in this thread the vintage adaptors already reverse polarity, so have any of you guys got any idea as to why my rig is not working is it the digital boss being in the setup or do I need to have a separate 1spot for these reverse polarity pedals, I was getting the assumption from mr.grim that he runs many of pedals occasionally of a 1spot, im guessing including of both polarity, please help me with these queries friends :)

    It sounds like you had everything right with the powering…

    If you daysichain pedals with different polarities you’ll fry the pedals. Plus, don’t mix digital pedals with analog ones on the daysichain, digitals won’t work. read this thread for more info on powering up pedals: http://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/2957

    Not true.

    Quote:
    yeah what they sed! the 1/4 phono adapters for the 1Spot should convert the polarity on there own, i use them allot. but also the comment on “dont mix digital and analog pedals on a power chain depends on your settup. i have a huge chain on my 3 1Spots, and my SMMH has no issues being involed, so i guess its trial and error, but most of the time that comment is true.

    True.

    I’ve used well over 100 pedals in daisy chain set-ups (not all at the same time though), and analogue or digital honestly doesn’t make much difference in my experience – as long as the power supply has enough output to power all the pedals that are hooked up, of course; having a few high current draw, modern digital pedals can easily put a strain on a One Spot.

    The only problems I’ve had with certain pedals has been increased noise (often a high-pitched whine) but it seems more to do with specific combinations than an individual pedal… e.g. My SMMw/H works perfectly (with no noise whatsoever) when daisy chained, as long as I’m not using the Germanium OD…
    in fact, thinking about it now, I have had more problems with analogue pedals not liking to be daisy chained.

    If you wanted to youcould build a simple parallel effects loop box and use the Big Freeze with a volume pedal after it in the loop?
    Also I think it said that it uses a momentary footswitch, so you would have to hold down the footswitch while using the expression pedal.

    It also has a latch mode where you don’t need to hold the switch held down.

    This probably won’t be very popular around here (judging by what most of you guys listen to)…

    That’s a cool set up :thumb:

    Most people say the Double Muff works best first in line and that it doesn’t like being after a buffered pedal (the CS-3 in this case).
    What do you think?
    Does the Double Muff work ok for you where it is?

    I think the cool cat chorus (esp the old 18-volt version) is a gorgeous pedal.

    The new/current Cool Cat Chorus is really good too; more chorus pedals should have mix and tone controls.

    I really like the TO-1 Transparent Overdrive too.
