[Keepsu]

Brilliant.

[DangerSheep]

i was just wondering, could you also make it sound like accordion or perhaps trombone?

[jackstrikergraphics]

amazing sound

[porkammf]

I Want to see a guitar playing has an Accordion!!!!

[1957Stratman]

Come on, tell the truth! That was a real Harmonica, wasn't it? That was amazing...

[copilottheband]

awesome!

however, i thought the Micro Synthesizer already had an attack setting? Is the hog necessary?

[laurolimon15]

[laurolimon15]

Check out the "news" section of the EHX forums -- you'll find a thread in which Bill talks about how he made the clip. (Unfortunately YouTube doesn't let me post a URL in the comments.)

Bill Ruppert is a pretty creative fellow. Great work!

[laurolimon15]

[EHX]

Look for the corresponding thread in the forums at the EHX site -- it would be in the "news" section. (sorry, but YouTube doesn't permit me to post the actual URL here)

[redmeatheart]

Fair play i understand.

[NORADYNE]

The HOG is one of the most versatile effects I've purchased. The sounds you can produce are only limited by your imagination, and a bit of luck LOL.

This vid makes me want to grab a microsynth now. DAMN YOU EHX!!!!!!

[redmeatheart]

£900 pounds worth of effects pedals when they can buy an actual harmonica that sounds more convincing for about 5 quid. I think this 'effectology series' is interesting, but their missing the point, they should be creating sounds that you've never heard before, rather than saying look if you spend a grand on our pedals you can make trumpet sounds from your guitar.

[EHX]

Thanks for the comment -- though (for me) a big part of what makes the Effectology series fun is how Bill Ruppert (the musician) thinks up a specific goal, and then explains how he goes about achieving it.

Totally new sounds could be fun too, but that is a very different process.

Lastly, we're certainly not suggesting that anybody go out and spend £900 just to recreate the sound of a harmonica. The point is to present some interesting ideas in how you might go about using the pedals you have.

[laurolimon15]

Is a micro synthesizer and Hog realy all i need to make this effect?

[laurolimon15]

what tune is this i realy want to play it?

[Fr3derick]

[sonofkikkoman]
