  1. Fire Fisher
    EHX HOG

  2. The Machineries of Joy
    HOG, Moogerfooger Delay, MP-201

201 used to alter dry/wet mix of the delay.

  1. Brutal Bed
    HOG, Wattson Classic Fuzz (based on the Shin-Ei Super Fuzz), MP-201, Ring Mod.

The 201’s going into both the HOG and RM here.

Brutal Bed. Brutal Bed. Brutal Bed.

Very nice! and very THICK! :smiley: your making me want a HOG now lol

The delay also has a really nice tone to it – that was the first time I recorded w/ it…

Yeah the delay sounds amazing to, but that goes without saying. Most of the demos I have heard on youtube the hog sounds tinny and waaaay to digital…but maybe that’s just youtube…

Yeah, you’re right about those HOG demos…maybe it’s just a question of tweaking it enough – and I don’t know if all the various settings are really useful. But there’s at least a couple things on it that sound really good. I used it on a solo on the “Veldt” CD that worked well. And the low pass filter is really nice – in “Brutal Bed,” that’s what I’m tweaking at the beginning, and at the points in between the fuzz guitar/201 insanity.

I also saw an impressive demo of the POG 2. I don’t know if it’s different in some important way from the HOG, but it made me think that I haven’t exhausted all the HOG possibilities.

Nice clips :sunglasses:



The POG2 main sonic difference is the detune function in my opinion, but the lack of an expression input and hold/gliss mode makes the HOG a keeper for me.

The HOG is filled with tinny thin harshness, but there are also many good tones in it, and lots of experimentation (as always) is key, as is the use of warm analog gear post-HOG.; I use the HOG’s voice and envelope section, but keep the filter wide open and use other analog filters/modulation/delay to great effect. With an MP201 you can cop some of the Pitchfactors modes as well, like the ‘Harmodulator’ for instance when using an s&h lfo into the exp input for instance.

201 into the HOG expression input indeed sounds great.

I finished this album…what I envisioned as an “EP”…

“Studies for Traps & Piccolo.” Subtitled “punkjazzsci-fi instrumentals.” And you can hear it here:

Used the 201/Ring Mod on “Leroy of the Ancient World” and the Murf on “The Abyss.”

The idea is to go out playing this as a duo: a drummer, me playing piccolo bass, and…wait for it…the Taurus 3s.

Ooh!
