    Hi,
    Just bought a Hog and got it out the box. Not sure if it’s working right as it makes a tone (a g) when you’re not playing, all the sliders seem to do this and you can control the volume with the sliders, it’s especially noticeable on +3 and +4. Is this normal? It stops on some of the expression pedal settings. I’m worried the thing is broken

    Also the octave thing on the exp pedal isn’t a full octave, anyone know how to adjust that.

    I might solve these problems by reading the manual, I left it in the car after reading it in the traffic jam on the way back from the music shop!

    Thanks for your help!

    There is a knob on the side of the foot pedal that sets how far the pedal goes.
    It most likely not all the way up and not give you the full octave.

    The noise you hear may be hum from your guitar being harmonized up in pitch.
    Turn your guitar volume knob to zero and see if the tone is still there.
    If it is not there you have a very noisy guitar and not the fault of the HOG.

    If it is still there you have a problem with the HOG and you should return it to the store.
    Good luck.
    When sorted out you will LOVE that effect.
    Good luck.
