This is sort of a continuation of The Mutts review of the EHX HOG as seen
here.
I won't try to detail any more than what The Mutt did as it was a very thorough review. There were only a couple of things that I have noticed since I've been using it a lot that I thought I might address. (Plus I finally acquired a USB device, I'm in a hotel room with no wife or kids, and I've little else to do).
Here's where the clips are:
One clip is simply what each maxed slider sounds like by its lonesome and then all of them maxed together.
The other has:
1: The wah expression setting used with only one slider active. The HOGs wah setting applies a wah to
each individual slider. Using a bunch of the sliders creates too many filter peaks and they all blend together, ruining the desired effect. The clip is the original slider up using the expression pedal, then the original + dry output w/ expression pedal. Took me a while to figure this out. It still isn't fantastic, though.
2: Using the dry out makes for much fun for me and allows me to run the effects differently than I would normally. This is my dry out to a Micro Qtron run Hi-Pass to Small Stone to DOD FX53, and the effect set to original and -1 octave. Then without the HOG effect for comparison.
3: Freeze and Volume: Pretty straight forward
4: Freeze and Gliss: Can be used as freeze volume, max volume, and Gliss.
5. Lowpass filter expression mode clean, then loaded with effects. The same three on the dry output as above, with an ODB-3 dirting up the HOG signal.
