Not long ago I bought a EHX Hog.
It’s really great, and I have a lot of fun woth it.
The problem I have is that the expression pedal broke down (it’s not very solidly made of plastic).
I want to buy another because it’s rather essential for optimal use of the effects.
Could anybody tell me if just any expression pedal can be connected to the Hog?Regards,

I have a vintage EHX Volume Pedal that is super-rugged and beautiful, and strangely enough it works great as an expression pedal for the Holiest Grail and the Tube EQ; but it doesn’t work with the HOG. I’m trying to figure out if there’s a mod I need to do to get it to work. If that was possible, I’d say that would be the best expression pedal of all.
DiscoFreq has a pic of mine at his site, thanks to electro-melx, who gave it to me as a gift

May 21, 2009 at 5:56 pm #96910exaltedMemberI know this is an old post, but I just wanted to say – I had the same problem. The little plastic nub that moves the potentiometer broke off after a single use.
After unsuccessfully trying to glue it back on, fruitlessly using the HOG without the pedal, and frustratingly looking for a new expression pedal that wouldn’t cost me ANOTHER hundred dollars, I actually tore open the M-Audio and fixed it myself.
I drilled a small hole into the pedal’s ‘arm’ and then inserted a small screw which takes the nub’s place. It was an easy fix, and now the pedal is 100% again.
I just thought someone out there might find this info useful.
