[gullywoots]

I can't avoid a youtube cliche here... 4 people would rather play in the mud

[777jordan]

[BuckeyeNation1807]

by the time the cat came into the picture i thought i was having some kind of flash back... had to double look it.

[homelesspimps]

[dondorward2010]

i only needed to watch 2 minutes of your video to decide that i need both of these in my ambient music setup--i plan on using synthesizers, a guitar with this setup, a brilliant light show and lissajous patterns from an o-scope to blow and entertain immpressionable minds,young and old alike........

[dsally23]

that could be the music to a wierd ass zombie movie man. awesome

[alsharpton666]

That cat has a bad ass rig.

[bigskymind81]

[emasculator666]

Hey Analogger, just checked out your myspace site - great stuff, I really dig it! Keep it up!!!

[Ilovemyfender2]

This video is eargasm thirty six times.

[lidesnowi]

NEED DRUGS

[MrLarryAppleton]

Two great pedals.

[metalcore929]

This is badass - I have a HOG incoming. Can't wait!

[cosmogang]

@metalcore929 My HOG is in the mail!

[queteimportaguey]

boys toys!

[trylonperisphere]

Oh, to be clear, I'm talking about guitar synths, not just effects. :)

[trylonperisphere]

This looks like the holy grail to me; relatively cheap, polyphonic, and doesn't need a special pickup. So I must ask; is there anything comparable or better out there for the price?

And yeah, Fripp & Eno rock! XD their Evening Star album was a revelation. Thankx in advance.

[Gustaleal]

Heavy Fuck Awesome Video

I want One!

post some music with that!

XD

[Equoris]

You create some amazing stuff! Keep it up! It's a real inspiration :) .

[serialorder]

I love the space guitar stuff you have posted. Some of the most extreme sounds I've heard. Keep it up! BTW - I bought a Hog and Echolution after seeing this vid. I told my wife we can wait on a new washing machine! Any suggestions on other drone-ambient artists I might like?

[Analogger]

I like all the Fripp and Eno stuff. One of the most compelling ambient albums is "Deep Listening" by Pauline Oliveros. Its recorded live in a giant underground cement cisturn. The natural reverb decay was 30 sec! It's Oliveros on a special accordion, someone else on a trombone and another on digeridoo. They play long drones and interact with the reverb tails and texture. It's amazing.

[stargate669]

@serialorder your wife was in here earlier and is now selling her feet to finance your funding of a gold plated Britney spears original mini skirt. Is there no end you will steep too?

[LiberteAlPoeta]

Okay vid, but you really didn't show the true power of this pedal.

just my two cents.

[Analogger]

I didn't set out to do a complete "product demonstration" video. I leave that up to the pros. I'm not employed by EHX. I just wanted to show some of the ways I have fun with the pedal and hopefully someone else might get some enjoyment out of it, and possibly be inspired to create some music on their own, that's all. You might even think about creating some music yourself and sharing it with Youtube! How about a definitive Hog demo?

[derk8e7]

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

[Analogger]

Christ, if I only had a dollar for every time I've heard that!

[amarr1]

how much money would you have? :)

[AbramelinBG]

Analogger, mate, what would you suggest me - HOG or Microsynth? well, I like HOG (and all of his incredible options and possibilities) according to video and audio demos I heard on net, but Microsynth is one fat analog bastard, much more limited but ruder and fatter than HOG.

[AbramelinBG]

my current fx chain is:

VOX Snake Charmer tube comp - VOX volume pedal - Digitech Whammy 4 - Budda Budwah - Boss SD1 (moded) - MXR Bluebox (moded) Roger Mayer Mongoose fuzz - Ibanez AD9 (vintage) - EH Nano Small Stone - EH Polychorus - Boss DD20 - Line6 Verbzilla + Alesis Quadraverb sometimes, all that into Orange Tiny Terror.

I play psychedelic, drone, stoner, sludge, ambient, kraut dub stuff... and I'm not an analog snob, although I always prefer analog.

thanks.

cheers!

[AbramelinBG]

is this pedal digital or analog? I suppose it's digital cause of memory settings and polyphony.

[Analogger]

yes, digital.

[Bgwinett]

uh no. fully analog..

[wh1testripe]

you should listen to kaki king me thinks you would love it

[Analogger]

I am a big fan of Kaki King. I love what she did for the soundtrack of August Rush. Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters calls her his favorite guitarist.

[OkieSlims]

I love Kaki.. her earlier stuff is amazing. It's starting to get refined and losing some soul though.

[Analogger]

yeah, you can hear the cosmic inspiration in her earlier stuff. It just takes any artist time to go thru different periods of creativity. Some people are "music machines" like Timbaland - they latch onto what's popular and build on it. Others are strictly guided by a muse that operates on its own time schedule - not that of a record label or public opinion.

[se210388]

what a great job you're doing! very cool ambience-like sounds!

by the way.. I´m looking for a swell pedal.. could you recomend me one?

[Analogger]

I used to have a Digitech Space Station. I wish I still had it. Besides all the incredible effects, it was a cool swell pedal. I have the Pigtronix Attack Sustain which has an amazing "swell" feature which can be set to not only fade in the volume but you can set it to cut off wherever. The only thing is its not manual...you adjust the knobs and that's what you get. Really cool, though. there is also a trigger input to fire the envelope with an audio signal.

[hereiamhere75]

respect!!!, normally i´m just interested in the product, it doesn´t happen that often that i just enjoy the music/sound...very nice

[yaksox]

OMG! I totally started tripping when I saw the cat

[TravuhsWree]

Didn't you just post this on another video?

[madmonk66]

What a bitchin pedal.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy I need one.

Thanks for that display!

I would love to hear it with a Big Muff.

And then put some of the Moog-ish envelopes on it. Oh yeah.

[DerClunk]

Fantastic! This is what I'm looking for. Kudos to EH for making something besides the usual variation on the old faves. Kudos to Analogger for a really well done demo. Great ambient/psychedelic sounds.

[fatblckchick]

Hello Analogger

I was wondering if you could tell me the dimensions on the Echolution I'm thinking about getting it but I wanna be sure it'll fit on my board

Ive checked around but no one has the dimensions listed

[Analogger]

Its about 6 inches wide, 4 inches deep.

[fatblckchick]

I meant bluemonk82

[bluemonk82]

Probably some of the most useless effects I've ever heard. I mean seriously who is going to use those types of effects?

All you need is a good reverb unit, delay, and distortion. That's it. Everything else is secondary.

[fatblckchick]

^^^Ladies and gentlemen an asshole that thinks he knows every thing

[bluemonk82]

I don't think I know more than anybody, but I do know uselss effects when I hear them and this guy has probably the most useless effects you could buy.

[davinci27]

your an idiot. Just because your dumbass isnt creative enough to use these pedals doesnt mean they are useless

[bluemonk82]

Let the insults fly there, davinci27! I like how unintelligent you sound, because that's basically what you are an uncouth, loud mouth piece of garbage.

I bet your smoking your third pack of cigarettes when you typed all of that. You piece of junk.

[Ilovemyfender2]

Look at you calling these pedals and effects useless. In this video he obviously used them, and used them WELL. They definitely have a use, then ;)

[fatblckchick]

well depend

ok you can use just delay and distortion and wind up sounding like U2

and lets him be more creative

[wfranklin]

lol at the cat

[hvylobster]

whoah this is a pretty sweet pedal its makin me trip out and see cats all in the video

[KrazyKali69]

I have a POG that makes great organ and bass sounds. As a matter of fact, I think I might sell my Roland GR-20 becasue it cannot track like these POg and HoG's. Do you have a POG? If not maybe I should make a video.

[Rambo29]

Sounds good, but that's wayyyy too many knobs for me

[oscarmontelius]

Er, how well does the Pigtronix Echolution manage live situations? I play in an art/noise/post-rock band and have been looking for something like this for quite a while. However, I am hesitating buying one since it has no presets. You seem to manage alright, sitting down... What do you reckon?

Thanks!

[Analogger]

Hi...I would highly recommend the Damage Control Timeline. Its sounds absolutely incredible! Seriously...the best I have, which includes the Echolution, a Korg SDD-3000 and a TC Electronic D-Two. The Timeline will also sync to midi and has presets. If a tap-tempo is good enough for you live, I would look into the Echolution. He is coming out with V2 soon. Otherwise, go with a Timeline. I also hear the Eventide Time Factor is a monster! I hope I've helped a bit.

[NORADYNE]

Great vid BTW! Ya' bastard LOL :P

[NORADYNE]

Dammit man!!! You're making me want one of these things again! But every time I'm about to pull the trigger I stop cause I think "This is just waaayyyy too much money." How does the octave up and down with the exp pedal compare to the whammy? Cause I think if I get this I might as well bump the whammy off the board.

[proxy69]

Can you change exp.mod with that exp.Button?Is it just you press it or????

Thanks

[Analogger]

You get into the different modes with the white "Exp Mode" button. Then, for example, in the Octave Bend mode, the Exp. Button will shift your pitch up an octave. Its either all or nothing, while with the Exp Pedal, you can slowly bend it up. In the Wah Wah mode the Exp Button opens the filter up all the way with nothing in between. That's where you have to use the exp pedal in order to control the amount of the wah sound.

[aranciomiele]

Awesome!

[mpregeant]

I've been looking at this pedal for awhile.. I was halfway impressed but it looked like it might be overpriced and overrated. This video, however, has shown me what this thing can do.

I am especially impressed with the step bending sounds.

[specialCecil]

can you post a video to show the wah-wah and show what happens when you playa chord with the HOG?

[steelwizard]

Is there a version of this unit, you can control over midi? I like the idea behind this pedal, but i'd like have more footswitchable options

[steelwizard]

Oh, you can control it over midi. I didn't know before.

[fbertran5]

Hello.

Very nice music from you and very nice video.

Could you please check if with all the sliders at zero( also the input gain and the dry output) and with the effect on, you can hear a low dry signal passing through(try it with high volume at your equipment)?

Thanks and regards, Francesc.

[Blackjon88]

how much does the HOG run for?

[dalung]

So can the HOG do all the same organ sounds as the POG? And what's the difference from the HOG to theh POG they seem pretty similar??

[Analogger]

Very similar. The cool thing about the POG is that you can detune the octaves. However, the HOG has more octaves - 1&2 down - 1,2,3$4 up - plus a 5th up, 1 octave plus 5th up, and two octaves plus 3rd up. So you can get really great organ sounds. The HOG also has tons of cool tricks with the expression pedal. The HOG's filter has a resonance slider as well. You can get much more radical sounds with the HOG - but for the price, the POG is great for what it does!

[dalung]

So can I do everything the POG does with the HOG? And more? So it can do organ just as well, or better? Thanks. Analogger hah that's a name I can trust. I only care for analog sounds!

[Analogger]

Yes...it will do everything and more. The only thing is the HOG can't slightly de-tune the octaves like the POG can. But the POG can't do the 5ths and 3rds like the HOG. Also...with the HOG you can use the 3 and 4 octaves up on a bass guitar and it sounds really cool.

[dalung]

Ah thx, so if I have the HOG I don't need the POG! Great. Well, I mean, the detuning isn't necessary for the organ sounds rite? That's the main thing i'm interested in. And do you know if it can do anything that sounds like a minimoog or something similar?

[Analogger]

For that I would recomend the EH Micro Synthesizer. It actually generates an analog synth wave along with a sub-octave and an octave up that you mix in with your guitar. It works best on single notes - but it has an analog filter and you can get some good "Moog-type" sounds out of it. Put "micro synthesizer demo" in the search box and you'll see a good demo of what I'm talking about.

[dalung]

Ah okay, that's what I thought that one was for! But for the organ sounds just a HOG alone is best then right? Thanks.

[Tom1981]

thanks for video

[nerdlandfuzz]

great sound!

[bentsynth]

Your sound quality is perfect.

[Vtolus]

love your videos!!! Thanks... HOG will be the next mad-guitar stomp box in my setup
