Hello guys.
I had to join up on this forum to tell the creator of this what a huge impression this video made on me.
I’m a bassist (a regular on http://www.talkbass.com) and very much into effects.
Now I’m definately getting a HOG. I was thinking about it before, I heard some soundsamples of someone making their bass sound like a celtic flute (or something alike).
But I always liked violins, and I regret that I never had the chance to learn it as a child.
Maybe that’s why I play fretless bass exclusively now.
And if the HOG can make my fretless bass sound like a cello or violin that would certainly get a lot of use in my situation.I’m going to try those settings out on my POG… that from the string section.
Compressors and delays I’ve got enough.
Just no chorus and reverb… never liked chorus and reverb on bass. (Like it on guitar though.)
But, after hearing Bill’s “cello concerto” there might be an EHX Stereo Polychorus in my future.Maybe I should hang out here more.
greetings, René (Belgium)
René,
Thank very much for you kind thoughts.
I can not wait to hear what sounds you get with the HOG!
Good Luck!

I bet you can get a cello like sound using the POG2.
I lowered the guitar pitch down to A with the HOG.
Using the POG2 you will need to detune the guitar down by hand.
With some work I would think it could work.
Thanks again for watching!
BillYou are quite welcome! I’m genuinely impressed/inspired/humbled. All good things, right?
Good news re: the POG 2. I found a very good deal on a used one and decided to go for it. As I said, I think I can use a Variax to achieve proper detuning as needed. It’s a little ugly down a fifth, but if I went a minor 3rd and then compensated on the fingerboard, I might have some luck. It’s not like I have a specific piece of music in mind yet.
I’m still slightly obsessed with the HOG but it’s tough that it won’t save/recall presets without another sizable box and investment. I think if EH addressed that one oversight w/ a HOG 2, they’d have a better seller on their hands.
Thank so much for the demos and for your reply to my question. I’ll post back with my results as soon as I get the new toy!
