hey guys

just curious if anyones owned one or does and there experiences with

im thinking about buying one but its alot of moniez so curious

Does the organ thing pretty well, i've never heard it used any other way. Seems to be sort of a one trick pony to me. But then again, i've never played around with one, so anything i say should be taken with a grain of salt.

Never played, but I saw USA is a Monster with one. SiCK. They're pretty slick. Dig it.

The HOG can do WAY more than just the organ stuff. The Freeze + Gliss mode is AMAZING, and the sweepable LPF can do cool stuff too.

Here's a clip of the EHX guys doing the intro synth from "Won't Get Fooled Again" on a HOG

yeah ive owned the micro pog and loved it just sold it off to buy a hog
but yeah the hog definatly does what the pog does and way more'

i seen nick zinner from the yeah yeah yeahs a week back using the hog and he made his fender hot rod sound like a beast dropping all those octaves haha

I know the guitarist from The Horrors uses a HOG on almost every song on their newest album. The settings he uses, however, I have no idea.
I've seen them live twice and he stomps on the controller for it quite a bit.

funny u bring up the horrors. i was just watching some vids from them and seen the hog on his board. rockin the jazzmaster n jag too

I am going to check out a used one with the foot controller next week.

I’ll let you know my impressions and if it works with bass.

This is true. I hear the POG works better with bass, though. I think it's just voiced differently.

In any case, the freeze+gliss mode is amazing. Using the expression button for quick octave bends is amazing. You can use the expression pedal for a whammy effect. You can set up synthy chords with it. You can make "harmonics" fade in as you play. You can do violin-like swell effects. You can choke off the sustain for synthy bass effects into an envelope filter. You can do multi-octave harmonies into a fuzz box a la "Blue Orchid." You can access all of these effects that you'd use quickly with the foot controller.

It's a great pedal. Seriously. If you have use for that stuff, get one. I sold mine because I didn't use its effects enough and kinda wanted to separate the effects into other pedals (which I still haven't purchased because most of them don't exist). It's a fantastic piece of gear.

The only thing I'd warn you about is that it's not true bypass. The buffer is fantastic-- actually improved my clean tone. But the low output impedance of any buffer can make your fuzz pedals sound different.

I think there is a true-bypass mod for it on the EHX forum

I use mine to replace a whammy and a pog. It is different from both. When played alone, I think it sounds a bit more synthy, but I have enough pedals to fatten it up to make it sound much more natural. I use it to make my guitar a bass (fattened up with a Tube Zipper). I realy only use the organ sound for one song. Other than that, I do lots of other things.

Someone said it can do a 12-string guitar effect, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how.

Ehh... once you have a pedal that large, I think it would make more since just to put it in a true bypass box. I can understand why they made it a buffered output. I just think, given the popularity of true bypass circuitry, they would have used a relay for true bypass like they did on the POG.
