I am pretty sure you can’t do this because I think the HOG actually stores the presets. I could be entirely wrong though. From my experience, I guess it wouldn’t actually be too hard to have it so that the preset switch stores the presets, or so that it simply tells the HOG which to recall.
If it did in fact store the presets, that would open up quite interesting possibilities. Though unfortunately I don’t think it does because I’m pretty sure you can use a 16 second delay or 2880 foot controller with the HOG.
julianModeratorFrom what I understand, they simply get a massive amount of emails.
Maybe they should hire someone to answer emails for them. nudge nudge!
julianModeratorSince we’re showing off builds, here’s a fuzz I built for a friend:
julianModeratoryeah, I need to try some of these out sometime!
julianModeratorI don’t know, I want the Catalinbread SFT. Catalinbread makes good stuff.
julianModeratorI’m wondering if it was possibly hooked up to the wrong polarity and burned out a part.
Open it up and look inside. It could also be a loose wire. Or if something is burnt out, you can recognize which part needs to be replaced.
julianModeratorSome pedals don’t like certain kinds of effects loops. Some effects loops are buffered, some aren’t, some run at line level, etc. It can cause adverse affects.
julianModeratorI’m not an EHX staff member, but I’ll say this. . .
Analog Pedals can have digital presets, it’s very possible. Here’s one with digital presets right here: http://t-rex-effects.com/Default.aspx?ID=2&ProductID=PROD113&VariantID;=
Because a digital chip can remember potentiometer values and through digital to analog conversion can present an analog circuit with analog potentiometer values.
So basically you have a digital chip simulating analog potentiometers to the analog circuit, with the analog potentiometers feeding the digital chip. When you store a preset, the digital chip stores those analog potentiometer values, and when you recall the the preset, it bypasses the current potentiometer values and feeds the analog circuit with the stored values.
(I might add that the T.Rex works a bit differently than this, since it has motorized potentiometers, instead of a D/A it just tells the potentiometers where to turn to, well that’s still technically D/A.. . but a really cool implementation which is sort of overkill)
Whether it would be cost efficient. . . I don’t know. It would add quite a bit to the circuit with a microcontroller, 10 D/A converters, an encoder (hazarai knob), a footswitch, and LED indicators. They’d need to use a pretty powerful microcontroller to do 10 d/a conversions as well as having 14 other inputs and however many outputs for the LEDS they’d have to add.
julianModeratorI’ve often found that pedals don’t actually need nearly as much current as their wall-wart supplies. For example, my HOG runs fine off of 250ma.
julianModeratorYou should be able to do it with a Y adapter cable that Voodoo Labs sells for 18/24v pedals.
Try it. Giving a pedal too little current isn’t going to hurt it.
julianModeratorI’m seeing Polvo and Shellac in August and September.
julianModeratorYeah, that’s a FET.
It tells you what part to use.
A Dual OpAmp is simply an integrated circuit with two OpAmps on the chip. So Both 1c1A and 1c1b are on the same chip. The chip will have 8 connections:
1 for VCC (9v in this case), 1 for ground (or sometimes -VCC, but in this case it’s just ground) and 3 for each opamp.
A common dual op amp you could use is a TL072
julianModeratorDo you have the dry slider up?
You can’t play the wet voice over what’s being held.

and what I hadn’t realised is that the fast mode can be pretty much identical to how a sustain pedal works on a piano.
which really makes me want one more.Do you mean you can hold it down while playing and have the notes overlap?
julianModeratorWell I’ve got a bunch of different ones, but I think my best sounding and playing ones are actually my Hondos. Which would surprise a lot of people because Hondo in their day made a lot of crappy guitars (mostly bolt-on neck les paul and strat copies.)
One is a neck-through, two humbuckers, and a TOM bridge. The other one is a set-neck, same features. The neck-through is sort of like a flat-top dual cutaway Les Paul, the set-neck is a black LP custom style.
Number 3 would either be my Kingston Coronado copy or my Global ES-335 copy.
