thats what i figured. I’ve never had the opportunity to try a HOG or HOG2. I just got a shotgunn modded bass micro synth with expression pedal and I’m sooooo glad i did. I have had some synth infatuation going on and while I was waiting for the BMS to arrive I picked up a subdecay M3 and Octasynth and Boss SYB-5. The M3 and SYB-5 have cool tones but they glitch way too much for my playing.

Still, the HOG2 has some really awesome features. The freeze function intrigues me as does the assignable foot control. My only beef is that a lot of demos seem to focus on making the guitar sound like an organ and im looking for more synth tones, emulating various synth sounds found on Hearts Magic man, ELP’s from the Beginning, The Stranger Things Theme song, Head East’s “Never Been any Reason” and trying to emulate the filter and tone of the Roland 303.

So far, i’ve found the BMS covers whats capable with the M3 (just add an analog chorus) and Octasynth (similar feeling filter response )

Regretting blowing the extra money but so happy with the BMS and the shotgunn FA and expression pedal mod just rock. Im actualy thinking of picking up another big box BMS just to have as a backup and for dialing in the filter and square wave differently.

Just curious, is there any other pedal in EHX’s lineup (past or current) that has the same filter and the BMS? The Q tron plus has my curiosity peaked and really wondering what sounds are possible with the effects loop. I would also love to have a pedal that just produces and pure square wave. I just love that sound.

thanks in advance. Glad to finally be a part of the EHX family!
