    Micro POG
    ___________
    Knobs:
    Octave Up
    Octave Down
    Clean
    Ins/outs”
    Input, output, dry out

    POG
    __________
    Sliders:
    Input gain
    Dry output
    Octave down
    Octave
    Octave + Detuned
    2 octaves + detune
    Low pass filter (controls the cutoff value)
    Switches:
    LPF modes (filter resonance, q)
    Outputs:
    input, output, dry out

    POG2
    __________
    Sliders:
    2 Octaves Down
    Octave Down
    Octave Up
    2 Octaves Up
    Dry
    Attack (makes the effect volume swell after you pick it)
    LP Filter (controls the cutoff value)
    Switches:
    Dry FX- changes whether the detune and filter effect the dry signal or not
    Q- same as on POG LPF Modes
    Presets:
    8 presets, accessible with the preset knob or the preset stompswitch
    Outputs:
    Input/Output- no dry out

    HOG
    ___________
    sliders:
    Input Gain
    Dry
    Original (same octave as your dry signal, but can be subject to the different FX)
    -2 octaves
    -1 octave
    a 5th
    1 octave
    1 octave + a 5th
    2 octaves
    2 octaves + a 3rd
    3 octaves
    4 octaves
    attack decay 1 (controls -2, -1, original, a 5th, 1)
    attack decay 2 (controls 2 through 4) (Attack/decay allows you to make notes swell in or fade quickly)
    low pass filter
    low pass filter resonance
    switches:
    spectral gate (alters the harmonic content of the signal, to get more sine-wave like tones)
    expression reverse: (changes the direction that the expression pedal works, also allows you to bend notes down)
    expression: (changes expression modes- 1 octave bends, 1 step bends, volume, wah, filter, freeze + gliss, freeze +
    volume)
    Envelope foot switch: turns on/off the attack decay
    expression foot switch: acts like pushing down on the expression pedal.
    presets:
    if you get the preset pedal, you can have six
    ins/outs:
    input, output, dry out, midi, expression, presets

    The HOG is freaking awesome.
    The selling point is really the expression modes for me. Bending full chords, freezing stuff. Plus all the other controls are icing on the cake.

    Yeah, Zvex pedals are a little expensive for my tastes. I see how he justifies his cost. You’re paying for the paint job, for it being hand-built in the USA, and just for his personal engineering. Things that he values pretty high. And people buy them and he probably does 1/4 to 1/2 a million in sales a year, so he can’t be too far from the mark.

    I think with high gain distortion, you might actually prefer a cleaner digital delay.

    I’d throw in copilot fx, Malekko, mellowtone, and fuzzhugger and the brands they sell

    I wouldn’t say that Zvex is the only one.

    There are a bunch of small and boutique builders making really cool stuff.

    I don’t mind it. It’s an extra complication in using that pedal, but I’m not going to let those kind of issues stop me from using awesome pedals like the HOG and the Frequency Analyzer.

    Daisy Chains are highly impractical IMO. When you mix digital and analog effects, you’re almost destined to get noise. Plus you need separate power supplies for positive ground pedals like the Muff OD or most Tonebender type fuzz pedals.

    Dedicated power supplies with isolated outputs are the best.

    I didn’t get a Memory Boy yet, so I think I might have to go with the Deluxe Memory Boy.

    Anyone know how much the Iron Lung is going to cost?

    Yeah, all the power is shared on that box. It’s a matter of the Dunlop being poorly designed. The Voodoo Labs is far superior and can handle a lot more.

    The Voodoo Labs PP2+ has 2 outputs that put out 250ma, and 6 that put out 100ma, and they’re all isolated from each other. For 18V you need to order a special two dollar cord for it.

    good stuff as usual Bill. I love the Twilight Zone!

    It can do a ton of stuff. You can go for certain sounds like in the effectology videos, or you could think of it as a synth as use it for experimentation

    none of those would be bad choices, personally I wouldn’t get the clone, but I don’t like chorus

    EH People don’t post here much, you might be better off to email them.

    Not sure how it would track or sound, but I’m sure you could.

    Hog would be good too- the tracking is excellent on the HOG, and it’s more flexible in the harmonies you can do- but it doesn’t do intelligent harmonies. It does cost twice as much though.

    I’d suggest finding friends or stores with the products and checking them out, as well as other alternatives.

    The voice box would be convenient though because of that XLR in, but you could always get an XLR -> 1/4″ cable.

    the simple solution is to drill a hole and add a stereo jack to it, that you’d wire into the potentiometer the same way as pictured. You’d then need a stereo cable to plug into your expression jack.

    You might need to clip the one wire on the jack though I’m not sure which one.
