> **Tell us about your pedals** > >My pedalboard is always in a state of flux, but currently I’m using an Ernie Ball volume pedal for swells and a simple Boss DD-3 for delay. I also have a Boss TR-2 Tremolo pedal and a Boss OC-3 Super Octave pedal, and a Fulltone OCD distortion pedal. For weird sounds, I’ll sometimes use my Electro- Harmonix Harmonic Octave Generator.

Description

The next generation in the awesome HOG series with the features you already love as well as new ones you'll love even more.

The award winning HOG (Harmonic Octave Generator) earned kudos from players and reviewers alike because of its ability to generate ten, totally polyphonic and glitch free voices ranging from two octaves below to four above the instrument's pitch-all without the need for a special pickup or instrument mods of any kind.

Now EHX takes things to the next level with the HOG2. In addition to all of the great features of the original HOG, it offers: sophisticated new algorithms to improve the quality of the ten generated octaves and harmonics as well as the Freeze function, full MIDI control over all parameters and presets, Master Volume for added control and convenience. Volume levels are saved as part of a preset, and save and recall up to 100 preset programs with the optional foot controller (versus six with the original HOG).
