User Manual

DIRECT OUTPUT Jack — This jack outputs a buffered version of the Input signal. Using this jack will NOT put any additional load
on your instrument. The output impedance at this jack is 400 ohms.
OUTPUT Jack — Connect your amplifier, mixer or computer to this jack using a 1/4" cable. The output impedance at this jack is 400 ohms.
ST
ATUS LED —
When the ST
ATUS LED is lit, the HOG is in Effect mode. When the STATUS LED is off, the HOG is in Bypass mode.
BYPASS Footswitch — Press the BYPASS Footswitch to toggle the HOG between Bypass and Effect modes. When you power up the
HOG, it will start up in Bypass mode. If a preset is loaded through the HOG’s Foot Controller and you press the BYPASS Footswitch on the
HOG, it will enter Bypass mode. When you press the B
YPASS Footswitch again for Effect mode, it will not load the previously loaded preset
but will instead load the sound that the sliders are currently set to: What You See Is What You Get.
Voice Controls
There are 10 Voice sliders on the HOG. Each features a white cap with a black line and controls the Output volume for its assigned Voice.
-2 OCTAVE Slider — Controls the output volume of the -2 OCTAVES voice, which is 2 octaves below the original input signal.
The -2 OCT
AVES signal will be 1/4 the frequency of the input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the -2 OCTAVE voice
will increase.
-1 OCTAVE Slider — Controls the output volume of the -1 OCTAVE voice, which is 1 octave below the original input signal.
The -1 OCTAVE signal will be 1/2 the frequency of the input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the -1 OCTAVE voice
will increase.
ORIGINAL Slider — Controls the output volume of the ORIGINAL voice. This voice is your Dry signal; the difference between the
ORIGINAL voice and the DRY OUTPUT is that the Original voice goes through the Expression Modes, Envelope and Filter, so it is treated just
like all other voices. The volume of the ORIGINAL voice will increase as this slider is pushed upward.
+5TH Slider — Controls the output volume of the +5TH voice. The pitch of this voice is a perfect 5th note above the original input
note. For example if you play an A note, the HOG will output the first E note above the A. The +5TH signal will be 1.5 times the frequency
of the input signal. The volume of the +5TH voice will increase as this slider is pushed upward.
+1 OCTAVE Slider — Controls the output volume of the +1 OCTAVE voice, which is 1 octave above the original input signal. The
+1 OCTAVE signal will be twice the frequency of the original input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the +1 OCTAVE
signal will increase.
+1 OCTAVE +5TH Slider — Controls the output volume of the +1 OCTAVE +5TH voice. The pitch of this voice is a perfect 5th note
above the first octave above the original input note. For example if you play an A note, the HOG will output an E note one octave higher
than the +5TH slider's E note. The +1 OCTAVE +5TH signal will be 3 times the frequency of the input signal. The volume of the +1 OCTAVE
+5TH voice will increase as this slider is pushed upward.
+2 OCTAVES Slider — Controls the output volume of the +2 OCTAVES voice, which is 2 octaves above the original input signal. The
+2 OCTAVES signal will be 4 times the frequency of the original input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the +2 OCTAVES
signal will increase.
+2 OCT
A
VES +3RD
Slider —
Controls the output volume of the +2 OCT
A
VE
S +3RD voice. The pitch of this voice is a major 3rd
note above the second octave above the original input note. For example if you play an A note, the HOG will output a C# note over two
octaves above the input. The +2 OCT
A
VE
S +3RD signal will be 5 times the frequency of the input signal. The volume of the +2 OCTAVES
+3R
D voice will increase as this slider is pushed upward.
+3 OCTAVES Slider — Controls the output volume of the +3 OCTAVES voice, which is 3 octaves above the original input signal. The
+3 OCTAVES signal will be 8 times the frequency of the original input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the +3 OCTAVES
signal will increase.
+4 OCT
A
VES Slider —
Controls the output volume of the +4 OCT
A
VES voice, which is 4 octaves above the original input signal.
The +4 OCTAVES signal will be 16 times the frequency of the original input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the +4
OCTAVES signal will increase.
SPECTRAL GATE Button and LED — When the SPECTRAL GATE LED is lit, the Spectral Gate function is active and in the signal
path. Press the SPECTRAL GATE Button to toggle this function On/Off. The Spectral Gate emphasizes the loudest frequency or harmonic
and reduces the volumes of all other present frequencies and harmonics. Use the Spectral Gate to produce new interesting sounds at the
touch of a button.
