  • in reply to: HOG 2 with a multi-fx pedal #120259

    Well if half an hour with the pedal doesn’t convince you then some dude on a forum probably shouldn’t! :D

    £300 is a lot of money for a whammy/harmoniser. The appeal of the HOG to me is that it can do much more than that.

    Hi Stark,

    I used the HOG for two things, dirty low octave sounds and high ethereal pad sounds. It did do them better than my GT-100 and there was more tweakability as well, and the filter sweep effect was pretty good.

    The best thing I can advise is to try one yourself. The HOG 1 (which I also tried) is fairly similar in terms of sound quality so if you can find that it’ll give you an idea of the tone you’ll get.

    Hope that helps,

    Ben

    in reply to: Help with HOG 2 bypass and MIDI PCs #120204

    I’ve now resolved this with input from the guys at EHX themselves.

    Apparently:

    “Hello. That is how the pedal is designed and there is no workaround for this.
    Regards,”

    Without the ability to bypass the pedal I’m forced to either manually switch it on and off, or to keep it on continually.

    My HOG 2 is now back in its box with the receipt and will be going back to the store on Monday.

    in reply to: 8-Step Program Midi Preset Issues #120203

    Hi Tusks,

    I’ve been trying to use MIDI to control my HOG2 and run into some problems.

    Once you’ve saved a preset to the memory of your 8-step you can call it in one of two ways (with MIDI):

    – send a Program Change command with a value that corresponds to where you saved your patch (IE PC no. 48 will call preset 48)

    or

    – send a CC118 message with a value that corresponds to the preset (CC118 with a value of 48 will call preset 48)

    Whatever you’re using to control the pedal should have some facility to send a Program Change and I get the impression this is the best way of doing it; however, my GT-100 can only send a Program Change when I switch patches.

    It is also, apparently, impossible to save a preset as “Bypassed”, which means that if you want to use your pedal you have to have a preset loaded and ACTIVE all the time.

    Hope that helps.

    Ben
