i hope this is the right place for this.
gotta vent:
the last two pedals that i've bought and opened up (i do this with everything i buy) have had micro components in them. is this a new trend? sure i can still pull them out, but they ain't a decent size like the other pedals i've worked on. the EH micro pog and now the dunlop el grande bass fuzz both have teeny tiny parts on the boards... makes me wonder.
they look like the parts on a computer pc board. i guess it's a way of cutting costs? the POG now has a problem with the power, i tries retensioning the power input to no avail. i don't know if this is a problem with the power filtering matrix, or with the jack itself. i have half a mind of just gutting it and putting something else in there. i guess we'll see.
rant and bitching over.
