    Yeah, I’d just leave it always on with a mute if that’s how you want to use it.

    That makes sense. First day with it, still learning. I don’t have the foot controller yet, but I do plan on getting one, and using a ‘mute’ setting as a preset should work too.

    What are your settings for a ‘bow’ sound?

    mmm I don’t know that I go after traditional bow sounds myself, but I’d start with original up, envelope on, and the attack set slow.

    got a preset for a cello sound. turn off all the original sliders and put up the -1 octave. use the envelope to set a slow attack and play around the fret 5 area and it sounds pretty cello-like. send it through a reverb like the SMMH and it can actually sound pretty convincing!

    Well in that case I’d turn off the -1 octave slider and turn up the +5th slider, then hit the expression direction button (so you bend down) and bend it down a whole octave. So then you’ll be getting -1 octave + a 5th, and you can play open.

    supertonesteve…to mute the signal you could always use a A/B box like the Switchblade (rather cheap) and just dont connect the second jack so when you engage the pedal it mutes the sound instead of re-directing it.

    I set up my rig last night, but I didn’t realize that I will need a way to mute the signal to the amp when the HOG is in bypass mode. I have a volume pedal, but I want it in my other signal path. Any suggestions for a cheap/easy way to cut the signal when I’m not using the HOG? I don’t want to get another volume pedal, does anyone make a mute pedal?

    sorry to be so late to the party, and pardon me if this is dumb, but i’m not sure i understand your problem. i’ve been using the HOG since day one, but i find i am always learning new things about it. I’m curious if maybe i am in the same shape as you but just don’t know it! would it be a lot of trouble to map your signal so that i could see what you’re up to? i’m just very curious.
    Always interested in improving my signal and tone.
    go

    Hell all,

    Following the purchase of this amazing box, and the settings I’ve seen here made by Bill, I wanted to create a sticky, with a Hog template, in which you can post your favourite/secrete settings.

    Let’s share with everyone.

    Here is the template:

    EHX Hog

    Hello All,
    I just wanted to add a note to this idea which I think is a good one. Reminds me of the patch sheets that KEYBOARD magazine used to do. I got all my best CZ sounds that way. Anyway, my add to this is that I’ve found the HOG is EXTREMEMLY dependent on the sounds it gets. When I first got the thing, I couldn’t for the life of me get anything that sounded in any way usable. So, I used my standard well thought out SOP & simply gave up for the evening & went on to something else. The next day I was working on a completely different set-up for my guitar & just off the cuff decided to run it through the HOG to see what would happen. After a couple of minor tweeks I had almost the sound I was going for the previous evening. Ever since then I start with my guitar sound & then try the HOG to see the result. So, a helpful bit on the HOG patch sheet would be an additional area for pickup settings, FX before the HOG, etc. Because the HOG has several filters, I now think of it as a very versital “Colour/Tone” FX rather than a straight synth. The HOG is a much more dynamic gadget than I first realized when I saw some of the videos. It’s amazing & one of the best pieces of gear in my FX arsenal.
