User Manual

FREEZE + VOLUME — Uses the Freeze function described in the Freeze + Gliss section but instead of Glissando, the Expression
Pedal will act like a Volume control for the Freeze function. The further down you push the Expression pedal, the louder the frozen notes
will be. When the Expression Pedal is in the Toe-Up position, you will not hear the octaves or harmonics.
Please note: Moving the Expression Pedal to the toe up position erases the frozen note in memory.
WAH WAH — Turn your HOG into a wah wah pedal. All of the voices will go through a wah filter that you can modulate with the
Expression pedal. The Filter’s Frequency and Resonance sliders are inactive in this mode.
FILTER — Continuously varies the FREQUENCY slider of the Filter. The toe up position is equivalent to the Frequency slider set to 0. The
toe down position will equal the current setting of the FREQUENCY slider. To sweep through the entire range of the filter with your
Expression pedal, set the FREQUENCY slider to 100%. Don't forget to also adjust the RESONANCE slider when in this mode, as it will have a
dramatic effect on the sound of the filter sweep.
External Control Inputs
EXP. PEDAL Jack — Plug the Expression Pedal into this jack. The Expression Pedal should have a Tip-Ring-Sleeve plug attached to
it. It is important that the Expression Pedal have the correct polarity. The tip of the plug must be connected to the wiper of the potentiome-
ter inside the Expression Pedal. If you are not sure what type of Expression Pedal to use, try to purchase one with a polarity switch, so that
it will work with many different types of instruments. Some suggested Expression Pedals: Moog EP1, M-Audio EX-P or Roland EV-5.
MIDI IN — You can modulate any of the Expression Modes using MIDI Pitch Bend. Connect the MIDI OUT of your keyboard, computer
or other MIDI device to the HOG's MIDI IN jack. Now move the Pitch Bend wheel or set up your computer to output the MIDI Pitch Bend
command. If the HOG is set to BEND 1 OCTAVE, you will hear the HOG bending notes the same way you do on a keyboard.
Foot Controller and Presets
If you plug the HOG’s external Foot Controller into the FOOTSWITCH phone jack, you will be able to store and load 6 presets. Use a normal
guitar cable to connect the Foot Controller to the HOG. Except for the INPUT GAIN slider, all sliders and settings on the HOG are saved in
the presets, including the position of the Expression Pedal, Exp. Button or MIDI Pitch Bend Wheel.
FOOTSWITCH Jack — Plug the HOG's Foot Controller into this jack using a standard 1/4" instrument cable.
Storing Presets — Set up a sound you like on the HOG. Then choose a preset button on the Foot Controller. Hold down the preset
button, its LED will blink for 3 seconds. When it stops blinking, release the footswitch, your preset has been stored.
Loading Presets — Tap a preset button on the Foot Controller once, the HOG will load the preset associated with that Footswitch.
When you load a preset that has an Expression Pedal value other than 0 or Toe-Up, it will load the Expression Pedal’s setting. In this case,
when the preset is loaded, the corresponding Expression Mode LED will blink rapidly, this tells you there is a pre-loaded Expression Setting.
If you want to reset the Expression Setting, press the EXP. BUTTON or press the EXP. MODE Switch, the LED blinking will stop.
Please note: If an Expression Pedal is plugged into the HOG while loading a preset, the Preset’s Expression Setting will not load.
Bypassing Presets — Pressing any of the Preset Footswitches on the Foot Controller will toggle the HOG between loading the
selected preset and Bypass mode.
