Loading Presets:
There are three ways to go about recalling presets in the HOG2:
HOG2 FOOT CONTROLLER
Press and release the UP or DOWN footswitch on the HOG2 Foot Controller. Each time you press these footswitches the preset number
increments (UP Footswitch) or decrements (DOWN Footswitch) while loading the new preset at the same time. If you press and hold either
of the footswitches on the HOG2 Foot Controller, it will increment or decrement by 10.
An alternate method for loading presets with the HOG2 Foot Controller is to use the SELECT knob. First turn the SELECT knob to the preset
number that you want to load, then press and release the SELECT knob to load the preset. Upon loading a preset, the PRESET LED on the
HOG2 will light up solid. The rightmost decimal point on the HOG2 Foot Controller will also light up indicating that the PRESET is loaded.
HOG2
Press and hold the SPECTRAL GATE button until the PRESET LED lights up. The HOG2 will load the preset last selected by the HOG2 Foot
Controller or by MIDI. The factory default preset is Preset 0.
MIDI
Using Program Change Messages
The HOG2 accepts MIDI Program Change messages to load its stored presets as long as the MIDI controller is set to the HOG2’s MIDI chan-
nel or the HOG2 is set to OMNI ON. As an example, if you want to load preset 10, send Program Change message 10 to the HOG2.
Using CC Messages
The HOG2 also loads presets upon receiving MIDI CC 118. The data value sent along with MIDI CC 118 indicates the preset number that will
be loaded. For example if you want to load preset 51, send MIDI CC 118 with a data value equal to 51. The HOG2 can load up to 120 pre-
sets via MIDI (using values 0 though 119). Sending a value above 119 will unload the currently selected preset.
Upon loading a preset, the PRESET LED on the HOG2 will light up solid.
Please note: When you load a preset that has an Expression Pedal value other than 0 or heel, and no Expression Pedal is plugged in, it will
load the Expression Pedal’s saved setting. In this case, when the preset is loaded, the corresponding Expression Mode LED will blink rapidly;
this tells you there is a pre-loaded Expression Setting. If you want to reset the Expression Setting, press the EXP. BUTTON or press the EXP.
MODE Switch, the LED blinking will stop.
If an Expression Pedal is plugged into the HOG while loading a preset, the Preset’s Expression Setting will not load.
Unloading Presets:
There may be times when you want to unload or exit the currently loaded preset, so that you can use the HOG2
in its normal What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) mode. Each method for loading presets has a way of unloading the presets as
well. You do not have to use the same method for unloading a preset as you did for loading the preset. For example, you could load a pre-
set with the HOG2 Foot Controller and then unload it using the HOG2 itself:
HOG2 FOOT CONTROLLER
To unload a preset using the HOG2 Foot Controller, press and release the SELECT knob on the foot controller. You will see both the PRESET
LED on the HOG2 and the right decimal point on the Foot Controller shut off.
HOG2
Press and hold the SPECTRAL GATE button for two seconds. After two seconds you should see the PRESET LED on the HOG2 go off, at this
point you are in WYSIWYG mode. You can then release the SPECTRAL GATE button.
MIDI
The HOG2 can unload a preset using either MIDI Program Change 126 or MIDI CC message 118. To unload using Program Change, send
Program Change 126 to the HOG2. Program Change 126 toggles between loading the currently selected preset and loading WYSIWYG
mode. To unload using MIDI CC, send CC 118 with a value above 119.
Editing Presets:
After loading a preset, you can edit the preset and save it to a new location. This is easiest to do with the HOG2 Foot
Controller, though it could also been done with MIDI. Using the HOG2 Foot Controller, load the preset you want to edit. After you make
your edits, turn the SELECT knob on the HOG2 Foot Controller to the number you want to save it in. Then press and hold the SELECT knob
for three seconds, releasing it after the number disappears and then comes back. To save with MIDI, send MIDI CC 117 with the data value
equal to the preset number that you want to save in.
