    as i made a thread on hcfx, i’ll discuss it here too

    there is one feature that is really missing from the pog2 and would be so fucking awesome to have

    Sequencing of the presets, much like the easter egg mode on the DMB

    So basically it going through the 8 presets at a set rate, for example

    1. -2
    2. -1
    3. +1
    4. +2
    5. and so on

    right now i’m doing it by stepping on the the preset button continuously. Sounds super cool

    here’s a quick clip

    i didn’t bother to change my presets so it’s not a perfect example and sorry about the clipping

    EHX should offer this mod!!

    i moved 90% of my gear in the last few weeks, so for the first time in like a million years most of my EHX stuff was in one place, so i figured id take a group photo. sure enough, i forgot a few things in the photo, must be in some boxes somewhere… maestro collection is up next..

    well then you could do a step sequencer

    sorry to ressurrect an old thread, but it’s a strange world. i was writing on another board about how the hog (and other similar guitar synths) bring us guitarist pretty close to the world of modular synthesis. the only thing missing is full adsr envelope control and lfo modulation. the thing is, most new pedals have expression pedal inputs, and adding an expression pedal input is easy stuff. so, i figured, the solution is an lfo that plugs into an expression pedal input. it’s just an automated variable resistor that will swing from 0 to 50kohms. my post is here:

    i come sniffing around the ehx site, only to find someone has the exact same idea as i do!!!

    – a pedal that plugs into an expression pedal jack and oscillates (or ‘auto-rocks’ for want of a better term).
    – variable max/min setting on the auto-rock.
    – has a waveshape selector knob (square, saw, sine, triangle, noise, etc.) and a rate knob. perhaps a waveshape width, skew or offset control.
    – expression pedal control of the rate.
    – a control voltage input that overrides the rate and waveshape controls and lets an external device (ie, an adsr envelope generator) control oscillation rate and waveshape. better yet, just have a ‘custom’ waseshape section with adsr control …
    – note that, when you modulate volume you have a trem pedal, so you could use the lfo pedal to modulate the volume control of another pedal to get trem, or perhaps have an instrument in/out on the lfo pedal itself so that it doubles as a trem pedal …
    – add an onboard envelope follower circuit and you could use your guitar signal as the control voltage input …
    – allow the waveshapes to be output at line level and you have a signal generator also …

    i hadn’t thought of a step sequencer, but that is an amazing idea that really comples the circle with respect to guitar-based modular systhesis, especially when used with the octave bend setting. otherwise, with a cv input you could use any step sequencer.

    as stated, such a pedal would be a great hog accessory, but versitile to work on it’s own or with any other pedal with an expression pedal input (even moogfooders …).

    worst case scenario, you could jury-rig any trem pedal. i presume they just vary the resistance to ground (probably swing from 0 to 10 Mohms). put a 50kohm resistor in parallel with the pedal (ie, between the input and ground) and your resistance will swing from 0 to 50kohms; the same as an expression pedal. plug that into the expression pedal input of whatever and it should auto-whatever. not having a trem pedal i can’t confirm, however.

    Well one thing that would be really cool would being able to somehow pitch shift frozen parts. Because it’s really fun to arpeggiate and sort of use the freeze to have an organ forming a bass line, but if I want to go into a heavier part from that, sometimes it isn’t ideal just to unfreeze and let the pitch shifter follow you. I’d sort of like to be able to take that frozen part to “11” with me if you sort of know what I mean.

    Also maybe being able to choose the functions of the 2 secondary buttons. So that if I’m not using the expression button, I could use it to scroll through expression modes. If those switches had assignable functions it could really open up a lot of new possibilities. Perhaps one of the assignable functions could be a special option for different expression modes- turn on an LFO in addition to the expression, allow for pitch shifting of frozen parts, etc.

    Other things- if there was a little flip switch above the envelope control to change between filter and volume, separate attack and decay controls, etc.

    An FX loop would be cool as well

    or a PWM expression mode even (if that’s even possible)

    being able to choose whether a voice will be effected by the expression pedal or not, so you could pitch shift only one voice if wanted

    Or even just a plain add on pedal for the HOG
    4 jacks
    -expression in (plug your expression pedal into)
    -instrument in (for the envelope)
    -instrument out
    -expression out (to plug into the HOG expression in)
    3 modes: step sequencer, envelope (slow and fast like on the Polyphase), and LFO
    when bypassed, you use your expression pedal as normal
    when not bypassed, you can choose between having a step sequencer, your pick attack generated envelope, or an LFO being your expression pedal (and your expression pedal could maybe control speed or depth)
    if a sequencer’s too much, maybe just a sample and hold or step LFO

    What’d be cool is that it could be used with any other EHX pedal that uses an expression pedal
