Effectology, Vol. 3: Cello Concerto for Guitar and Effect Pedals

Welcome to Electro-Harmonix's "Effectology" series, in which we play a remarkable collection of EHX-assisted sounds, and explain how they were made.

Today Bill Ruppert presents "Cello Concerto for Guitar and Effect Pedals" (pedals used: for the 'cello' it's just a HOG and Holiest Grail, and for the backing pads Bill also uses a Black Finger, POG, Stereo Polychorus, and Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai).

I especially liked how Bill used the HOG to pitch-shift his guitar down into the register of a cello. That plus the slow attack makes this one especially fun to try, and quite easy to reproduce.

Yes

Play it up an octave and it should very close

@Effectology Hey I have a question about the HOG I can't really get an answer to. Can it produce all the same kind of sounds that the POG can? I just want to know if it's missing any.

[Effectology]

@GrungeyDude

It does the same sort of pitch shifting but It sounds different!

The HOG and POG just have a different tone.

Its not the same software at all.

In other words, a HOG does a great Jazz B-3 organ sounds the POG can not do. BUT the POG shines on cathedral organ sounds like nothing else.

To my ears the POG has a more pure tone where the HOG has more over tones on hand.

@ effectology : maybe 2 stupid questions but can the hog also change your guitarsound into a violinsound + does the hog sound good on every clean channel amp

[Effectology]

@kingske555

Yes it sounds great with every clean amp.

I have not tried for a solo Violin yet.
