Electro-Harmonix HOG2

The award-winning HOG (Harmonic Octave Generator) has received praise from both players and critics for its ability to produce ten completely polyphonic and interference-free voices, ranging from two octaves below to four octaves above the instrument's pitch – all without the need for a special pickup or instrument modifications. Now, EHX takes things to the next level with the HOG2 and HOG2 Foot Controller. In addition to all the great features of the original HOG, it offers: sophisticated new algorithms to enhance the quality of the ten generated octaves and harmonics, as well as a Freeze function, full MIDI control over all parameters and presets, and a Master Volume for added control and convenience. Volume levels are saved as part of a preset – allowing for the storage and retrieval of up to 100 preset programs with the optional foot controller (compared to six with the original HOG). Of course, it still includes features such as: controllable harmonic intervals: –2 octaves, –1 octave, original note, +5th, +1 octave, +1 octave +5th, +2 octaves, +2 octaves +3rd, +3 octaves, +4 octaves; 7 expression modes; Freeze expression mode holds a note or plays a chord over it or glides to new notes like a keyboardist playing portamento; envelope extends the attack of a note for swelling or increased decay speed; custom resonance filtering with frequency-controllable control; separate envelopes for lower and upper harmonics; external expression pedal included; standard power supply with 9 VDC and 200 mA included.
