    Just made a clip for you. Sorry about the sub-par quality, my amp’s lineout isn’t working, so instead I used this old Sony Cardioid microphone that is most likely crap. I have two of them, I think they’re for recording live performances in the 70s or something.

    I have the HOG in Freeze/Gliss mode, with the expression pedal half cocked so that it sort of does this weird auto-glissando thing.

    I have the dry out going to my big muffs- I use a Little Big Muff at the beginning, and a Big Muff Tone Wicker towards the end.

    At the beginning I have the 2 octaves + 3rd slider up and I’ve turned the resonance up and the filter down so that only the harmonics on my root notes really get any volume.

    That’s running into a DOD-250 to beef up the sound a bit, followed by my SMMH, set to a reverb setting.

    I play with fuzz guitar (it’s all one track, because of the split signals) then I turn the fuzz volume down and just play the HOG

    In part two I switch from 2 octaves + 3rd to just a 5th, I turn off the DOD-250, and turn on my frequency analyzer (with filter on) and my Subdecay Prometheus (set to a sort of throbby modulated LPF that sounds like tremolo.) I become dissatisfied with where I have the HOG’s filter set, so I change that part way through. I also change fuzzes part way through the 2nd part to the Big Muff Tone Wicker set to a really ratty setting.

    P.S. you’ll notice it’s done to a set interval, so sometimes it doesn’t sound right with the chords. Dear EHX: make a HOG that appropriately lowers and raises the levels of different voices based on the chord progressions you play. Ala the voice box. That’d rule.

    I really dig the Prometheus part toward the end there…

    Thanks for the clip Julian!

    At 0.53 in it sounds like a monk singing Gregorian chant in a chapel.
    Cool!

    it’s just amazing all the different sounds that can be found in the HOG.

    I didn’t hear the monk thing, but now that you point it out at about 2:00 it sounds much like the mellotron choir.

    Wow that’s waay cool. I’m so torn between POG, POG2, or HOG. The POG appeals to me just because of the “classic” big box…but everytime I hear something so creative and nicely done like that it pulls me toward the HOG.

    Thank you :)

    The POG is cool. I owned one for awhile. But I find the HOG far more useful. I can get far more subtle effects with it, and I can get effects that are further over the top.

    And with the midi in on the HOG to control the expression pedal, there’s a whole world that I haven’t explored still.

    If only it had CC controls for everything.
