H.O.G.2
Harmonic Octave Generator – Guitar Synthesizer
Congratulations on your purchase of the HOG2!
The HOG2 is an Octave and Harmonic Generator/Guitar Synthesizer that
can simultaneously generate multiple octaves and harmonics from your input signal. Whether you play single notes, arpeggios or full
chords, the HOG2 will track every note you play. Built-in to the HOG2 are 7 Expression Modes that enable you to modify your sounds using
a standard Expression Pedal, a MIDI Controller, or the Expression Button on the HOG2 itself. Further sound sculpting is achieved through an
Amplitude Envelope Generator and a 2nd-Order Low Pass Resonant Filter.
Audio Connections and Controls
MASTER VOL
Slider —
Sets the overall output volume of the HOG2 at the OUTPUT jack. All voices including the DRY OUTPUT signal
are affected by the MASTER VOL slider. The HOG2’s output volume will increase as this slider is pushed upward.
DRY OUTPUT
Slider —
Controls the output volume of your original, unaffected DRY signal before it exits the HOG2 from the OUT-
PUT jack. The DRY OUTPUT volume will increase as this slider is pushed upward. The DRY OUTPUT signal bypasses all of the Expression
Modes, the Envelope and the Filter.
INPUT
Jack —
Connect your instrument to the HOG2’s INPUT jack using a standard ¼” instrument cable. The input impedance pre-
sented at the INPUT jack is 1.3M
Ω
.
DIRECT OUTPUT
Jack —
This jack outputs a buffered version of the signal present at the INPUT jack. Using this jack will NOT put
any additional load on your instrument. The output impedance at this jack is 150 ohms.
OUTPUT
Jack —
This is the HOG2’s main output. Connect this jack to the input of your amplifier, mixer or computer using a standard
¼” instrument cable. The output impedance presented at this jack is 60 ohms.
WARNING:
Your HOG2 comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200BI power supply (same as used by Boss® & Ibanez®:
9.6 Volts DC 200mA). The HOG2 requires 170mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. The HOG2 does not take batteries. Using the
wrong adapter may damage your unit and void the warranty..
