Uggh. THIS IS HEART BREAKING post to read. I just got mine and have been banging my head thinking I was doing something wrong. But nope I guess it’s like this. Not having an ‘original’ signal slider like on the hog is a huge and crazy miss. I’m so devastated, because the stereo panning and huge sound is incredible… but this doesn’t replace what I was doing with the hog. Freeze Gliss 100percent needs this feature.

Also why not make all the sliders tunable to what whatever you want. That would be so amazing. Like hold shift then turn pan to tune on the fly. You could Freeze then start fading in a more complex chord. For basically 700 bucks literally anything should be possible on this pedal.

Also Also, why is the attack so fast even at max settings? There is more than enough throw room on the slider. Slow it down. Let’s us get more oozy!

Come on EHX do us hog users right! These features won’t break what’s already there.

Hi. I’ve had the HOG 1 for over 18 years. I play it through a rhodes and its never left my top.
Running the freeze and gliss through everything is incredible, and mixing the drone voices through stuff like arps (Enzo, Tararira) and Boss slicer.
Anyway my baby is finally starting to feel like it is splitting at the seems. So I came to EHX to see about a hog 2, and noticed a “soon to be discontinued” image.
Does this mean a HOG 3!? Anyway, I found this thread, and it got my mind thinking about what I would improve. Mostly for my use case.
So I drew this quick mockup of my ideal HOG 3:

Some of the features in bullet form, but it all makes more sense when you see the drawing:
– smaller size, though not the size of of superego+. Think Microcosm or Strymon big boxes. I think it would have to be bigger becasue…
– Stereo I/O and Stereo Dry out. Exp pedal. Midi I/O
– EXP reverse as a switch on the back. So it takes up less on the front.
– Master and Dry Volume turned to knobs and placed above. To reduce pedal length (width?).
– Next to Dry volume is a Time knob and glide knob. for what you ask…?
– A sequencer. Where you can run each voice in succession according to a clock or a tap tempo.
– exp pedal footswitch is REPLACED with sequencer start and stop (hold / latch). Tap tempo (tap). Again, Everyone uses this with the expression pedal.
– Sequencer step behavior: below each voice slider is an small multi LED button (like the preset buttons on the attack decay) with three settings each. ON, REST, SKIP
– TUNE: Above each slider is another small LED button haha. Hold the button and Adjust the slider to detune each voice up + or – 2 semitones (or whatever). This should be able to get the user to get to almost any scale based on the classic layout of the HOG.
– PAN: the same above leds can be held and glide knob is turned to adjust stereo panning for each voice.
– WAVE SHAPE: like EXP mode selector except wave shape of either the general synthesis (would be HUGE) or the sequencer attack.
– spectral gate button is smaller.
– expression mode button is smaller (but still the classic layout).
– sliders are smaller but not too much. They shouldn’t lose too much throw.
– finally built in presets: 7 segment old school style with an encoder. turn to number push to select hold for 5 seconds to save.

Id shit myself if I could have this. I score films and TV and often use my rhodes and hog (plus other things) to create THE most unique textures.
thanks for reading.
