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.

it’s funny, but I mostly use it for that throbby trem

At 0.53 in it sounds like a monk singing Gregorian chant in a chapel.
Cool!Bill
July 3, 2009 at 8:27 pm #98841julianModeratorit’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.
July 3, 2009 at 10:03 pm #98844JaypeeMemberWow 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.
July 4, 2009 at 6:11 am #98858julianModeratorThank 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.
