Pedals don't work

I own a "Electro-Harmonix Big Muff" and a "Eelctro-Harmonix Micro POG". Both pedals sound great, but they don't work in conjunction. I only get sound if the Micro POG is first and the Big Muff is turned off. Only then does my clean signal come thru also. I am guessing there is nothing wrong with my cables, cause the clean sound comes all the way thru. They both work fine alone. The point of the pedals was kinda to use them in conjunction. Is there something about the pedals I have overlooked, or is something wrong?

Well, it sounds to me like the in and outs are mixed up. But if thats not it, maybe try to test the individual patch cables. Make sure they are in good working order. Do both pedals work by themselves? Is the muffs volume at an audible level? Im asking the really simple questions first. Trust me, Ive made these mistakes before and thought something was wrong. Its easy to make simple mistakes IME hehe

I suspect the ac adaptor might not be providing enough mA for both pedals. Have you tried powering the muff with a battery while powerig the uPOG with the power supply?

I would most def think that both those power supplies that came with the pedals themselves are more than enough.

As far as I can remember, the Bass big muff doesnt come with a power supply. I'm fairly sure mine didn't (although I bought it in '08 so I'm not 100% sure). I have used this exact setup with a 1-spot with daisychain for a while in a previous band and everything worked fine. I also have had problems with EHX's supplied ac adaptors before.
I think rizzo9247's idea is the best bet for finding the solution to this problem.
