Bill-
I use rubber clerk’s thimbles between my strings at the bridge to get a “fretless/upright” sound- would these interfere with the HOG’s tracking at all?
Not sure but my my wife would love it:-) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All kidding aside that would be called “prepared guitar” and I used to use very thin foam under the strings to sound just like a banjo.
Some guys use paper clips or paper for sitar sounds.
The Hog will be fine with anything!

Fantastic demo and great ideas as always, Bill.
Little Off-topic: I want to ask you how to reproduce the guitar “synth” of Dominic Simper from Tame Impala in this video:
He has a pretty basic pedalboard and i can’t really figure out (neither in many forums where I asket to other pedal junkys)…
These are all his pedalboard pics available in the web that I found:
http://s688.photobucket.com/albums/vv247/and_trea/Dominic Simper/I owned POG, POG2 and MicroSynth but none of them come close to that sound.
Someone said he use a POG sometime but sounds definitely more “chewy” (especially the POG 2) to my ears.
The Verbzilla “Octo” setting could be definitely a good hint, but I guess there is more…I started to think that maybe he goes with the guitar into his microkorg (there a Boss Line Selector in the pedalboard too) but I think it’s a little bit too complicated…

One more thing.
I just set the stuff up and realized I used the spliter plug as a dummy plug.
A regular 1/4 works ok but there is twice the low end from the bigger plastic plug!
The extra surface area helps.

Quote:Thanks Bill, I’ll give that a try. I could see how that intense EQ would help. I am using the big box Muff (Silver with black sides and bottom). I’ll also try that extra boost. Thanks again.Quote:The Muff was all the way up.
I also have an LPB-1 after to boost the gain even higher.
To add to the thump, turn the bass on your amp all the way up and crank the middle control as well.
I went direct with out an amp so I used an EQ and boosted 150Hz by 15dB (low end) and 1.6K (middle) by 15dB.
I used the Big Box Muff.
BillDolding down the tune button the entire time would not work.
In this mode the tune switch is disabled.
This mode has with 3 leds on.Quote:Quote:The intelligent ring mod effect is very different than the tune button.
The sound is very different.
Tune button tunes the global pitch to a single note.
Notes other than the tuned note will be a sum and difference of that note.
The intelligent ring mod is like hitting the tune button on every note.
Intelligent ring mod is a mono effect. It can listen to only one note at a time to tune itself.
The effect is very FM synth like.Using the intelligent mod you have only one out as the other output is feed back into the mod jack.
Using the Ring Thing in its normal fashion it is stereo with one sideband on each side.Quote:The intelligent ring mod:
Can’t you just hold down the tune button to achieve the same effect?
How does stereo work on the Ring Thing? If it’s just dry right, wet left then that’s fine but if it splits the signal into different sidebands won’t you lose the part of the signal that goes back into the mod input?I meant holding down the tune button the entire time that you are playing. Theoretically you should get the same effect, no? I guess you could use a splitter to get the right signal to the mod input and the amp.
