    it’s all about CREATION RECORDS!

    Another essential may be a kind of slow attack or slow attack/swell delay for smooth sounds!

    have fun. i adore shoegazing

    Slowdive is the best!

    actually in my hometown there’s a “showgazing association” :-) called “sublime-music” (NOTHING to do with the band sublime! see myspace)

    hi, i didn’t have the chance to play yet, but from what i’ve read on their website and in some blogs, it’s a digital brain, keeping a ~100% original data in mind and then sends it through an high quality BBD-chip at the tapped time. so ?!?!? the outcome is a digital delayed, but analog processed signal. problem here is maybe, that the signal went through an ADA, but what i’ve heard it’s a great tone and you can mix the digital with the analog sound for blending. but the analog signal is analog. and there is true bypass and the option for buffered with trails.
    there even is a internal wet loop, so you can put your own pedals in to fool around with the delayed signal only.

    looking at the hopefully soon approaching DELUXE MEMORY BOY with tap tempo, i wonder if it isn’t the same technique?!

    interesting stuff!

    Seymour Duncan – Deja Vu.
    It’s Digital AND Analog AND has the possibility to let the analog delays trail off!

    although i absolutely LOVE the polyphase, if you want to get more vintage phase sounds, the small stone would be the better choice.

    i have/had all three, but only kept the polyphase and the hoax (mainly for flanging, but there and then for weird stuff and phasing as well).

    that said – there are sooo many great phaser pedals out there! don’t forget the XII from TC Electronic which lets you choose phase stages and is super clean (maybe too clean). ibanez/maxon phasers are great too.

    but with the polyphase – it’s my favorite phaser apart from a schulte (which imho is the best of all!).

    if you want JUST good deep phasing and don’t need extras – small stone!

    Hi,
    reviving this thread again, as i’m in the same dilemma – chosing POG2 or HOG.
    I use the Digitech Whammy for Octave bends a lot and i’ve seen vids, which made me believe, that the HOG could do this even better and a lot more!
    A few questions to HOG users or staff:

    1. The attack sliders of the HOG produce a volume swell sound like in the POG2 ?!

    2. Is there any other chance of getting and dialing in presets than to get the (very expensive) 6xfootswitch (i saw/read, that it’s plugged in via a normal 1/4″ jack, could you use just a normal footswitch to switch from preset to preset?) ?

    3. do you think or know – will there be a HOG2 in a smaller housing and maybe with a kind of hazarai switch like on the SMMH or the POG2 ?

    4. is it very hard to deal with the HOG in regards of volume differences from setting to setting?

    your help would be very much apprechiated! thanks a lot

    i think it’s just about our times isn’t it?

    years ago you had lots of time for setting up gear and soundchecking – i didn’t have a FX-board until maybe 5 years ago and of course it’s made life (and live!) easier. but it limited space on stage AND i had to decide before hand what to take and what to leave home. therefor – i think it’s true – XO for live use, old style for studio. BUT – as the XOs sound just great AND i couldn’t afford buying both of each great pedal – it’s XO for me!

    but alas – the times, when size DID matter ;-)

    i mean – getting your hands on a nice vinyl double album isn’t the same as downloading a mp3-file.

    it’s all about mobility. and its there where (small) size matters!

    I think didgeridoo is pretty easy. just take an e-bow for a floating tone, then maybe a Doctor Q with a volume pedal in front of it would do the trick.

    still easier – flanger hoax in oscillation – fiddle with the delay knobs. sounds pretty good

    jazz flute is more interesting really! as for pan flute – eric clapton did a pretty nice mimic of one on creams “what a bringdown” (intro) in just adding a little reverb and upstroke a dampened chord. put for single notes… wow. would be interesting!

    hapsichord is a very good idea!!!

    disagree – for modulation – analog only!

    Still – there should be an XO-Flanger pedal with start/stop and expressionpedal option!

    and it would be sooooo great if it got (at least nearly) TZF possibilities. The Hoax is wonderful, but not that great for live use!

    but i agree, to XO the Hoax would be blasphemy!

    Anyway – just an XO’ed Mistress is not enough. I think it’s time for a new flanger,
    combining the best of both worlds – good Choralflanging AND TZF(likeness)!

    And IMPORTANT – of course it should be stereo (ins AND outs!) BUT:
    one thing that’s strange about my beloved polyphase XO is, that the startknob-position seems to dial in the left voice, while the stop dials in the right. so wider phasing – wider stereo, soft phasing – almost no stereo. seems strange, although i must confess, that it sounds great. :-)

    but to get a good stereo effect, phasing amplitude must get to a certain amount and if you set phasings to extremer “out-of-the-middle” settings, it’s like you pan your sound to either left output (bassier phasings) or right output (treblier settings). thats counterproductive IMHO.

    hey thanks,
    but – i already ordered the m-audio and i received it already broke. the small plastic piece which translates the action was already broken out of the box. so i am not that happy in buying a second one – the tiny plastic pieve looks toooo tiny for heavier action.

    yamaha fc-7 anyone?

    i vote for the XO. they brought EH into the next century. also i would rather see the input and output plugs on top. the layout is fantastic (i absolutely adore the “start/stop” knobs) and they are sturdy!
    and of course – for an effect junkie like me – there’s more space for putting more XO’s on the board! great.

    but anyway – don’t stop doing some old fashioned pedals – they are EH and some of them might not work as XO.

    hope for a good analog start/stop-flanger with “nearly thru zero” soon! ;-)
