Hi
Sorry to know that…
You will change for another unit or just return it?FlystratMemberMy HOG2 worked strange for one day, I posted a question regarding this. Then it returned alone to normal.
It came with the new expression pedal with no moving parts. I found it uncomfortable because it is sensed by the Hog in the current position when a preset is called, and it is always in the full ahead position. Also I found it uncomfortable in itself, because it “moved” all around the place.
I use instead a Boss FV500H I had with no use, which I leave always in the heel position.
Hey… Try this: load presets while holding the pedal in the heel (full back) position. Does it change anything?FlystratMemberQuote:Just to bump and make clear questions I’m asking:1.) am I right in understanding that the “volume” setting for the expression pedal is applicable only to the generated voices, and not to the “dry output” or “master volume” parameters?
2.) What value does the potentiometer have to be to be compatible with the HOG2? 10k?
3.) [new question] what are the dimensions of the HOG2? is this sequel the same size as the first HOG?
Thanks all
Hi
1 – Yes, volume applies only for the generated voices. If you pull up “dry output” slider, this is not affected by the expression pedal action. I just tried it.
2 – I use a Boss FV500H in the expression connection, which is said to be 8.5K and it works perfectly.
3 – wide 9.25″, deep 6″, height 1.25″ the body, 2.5″ considering rubber feet and footswitches.FlystratMemberHi
I found the same, but only with certain presets, which with the expression pedal full ahead sound like some robotic furious bee.
Other factory presets sound pretty good in my case.You found that with every preset?

FlystratMemberYep
FlystratMemberHello
This is an update to my previous post.
I just left the HOG2 just “rest” a whole day, and when returned to my rehearsal room and tuned everything on it worked just perfect.
I am happy for that, but it worries me this could happen in a middle of a presentation and I wouldn’t be able to solve the issue.Has the same happened to anyone else?
Regards!Fly
FlystratMemberQuote:Just picked up Ravish pedal. Layed down a track to a song one of the guys in the band wrote. Sounds awesome but don’t know where it should go in effects chain for live performance. Only using a Boss ME70 and the Ravish. Considering an AB switch but that will add another box in the chain.
What say you all?Hi
If you use distortion pedals I suggest to place the Ravish before them.
Anyway, you will see that applying heavy distortion to the Ravish results in confusing sounds. I split the signal, just todo that: overdriven sounds in Main channel and the Sympahetic output in a clean or slightly overdriven channel with possibly added chorus or some time based effects.
I hope this is helpful!FlystratMemberHi there
I added recently a Ravish to my setup and I am still amazed with the range of traditional and innovative sounds it delivers.
My setup is: Guitar – Boss Volume Pedal – Cry Baby – Ravish Sitar – Switcher – two preamps – stereo power
I formerly splitted the signal chain using the buffered entries of a GCX Switcher, and feeding two preamps, a Marshall JMP-1 and an Engl 530.
I tried to use the Sympathetic output of the Ravish in one of the switches, to choose if I feeded one of the preamps with the Lead sound line coming from the pedals or with thw Sympathetic sounds from the Ravish. This resulted in the hiss and ticking noise mentioned in some posts above, even with only the Ravish in the line.
Then I realized that when the Ravish is in bypass mode, both outputs send the input signal. I think that feeding the Ravish with a buffered signal results in those noises.
Now I simplified the setup and split the signal path right at the Ravish, sending one output to each preamp. This was a perfect solution, because I can have a clean sound in the preamp feeded directly by the Symp out, and the Lead goes to the Switcher as before.
I found a sound which is something like having a friend playing a Hammond-like keyboard, just following your tones while you play guitar. If anyone is interested just PM me.
