    Here is a clip of the Electro-Harmonix HOG Pedal doing a sound similar to the Keyboard part
    from The Who,s “Won’t Get Fooled Again”.

    What is mind blowing is its done with just a regular guitar with a regular humbucker pickup.
    I/4 cable in, that’s it!

    The Chain of effects was the Electro-Harmonix HOG pedal with a 1/4 note delay and a tiny
    bit of Reverb.
    The star of the show was the filter effect with in the HOG.
    Its a juicy 12dB per octave 2-pole low pass filter controlled by a foot pedal.
    Rocked like a WA pedal it made the sound come to life.

    On a side note the original sound was done by Pete Townsend playing block chords spread
    between the two keyboards of the 1968 Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 organ. The output of the
    organ was fed into the audio input of the EMS VCS3 mk1 Synthesizer.

    My Guitar-HOG clip is here:

    Thanks everybody for the very nice posts!

    I hope to find time this week to record a few more clips using EHX pedals.

    Its so fun to find new places to take the electric guitar.
    Forward thinking companies like Electro-Harmonix have given us a great opportunity to grow and expand our sound.
    I have found many new sounds and hope to share them with you all in the near future.

    Q. Can you reproduce this using the Micro Pog in conjunction with another EFX pedal (other than HOG/POG)?

    Yes that should work fine. You will need a wah for the filter sweep.

    thanks for the quick reply :) I have the Cock Fight which should work I think but can you give me a little idea about the setting for the Micro Pog? very much appreciated!

    You only have and octave lower and an octave higher.
    Start with all three knobs equal at 12 0clock and start adjusting until it sounds good to your ears.
