Hi!

Yesterday I tried to use my HOG as a regular volume pedal, with only the ?original? slider up. No other octaves activated and no filter.
What I noticed is, that the sound with the volume pedal in toe down position (100% volume) is as clear and ?original? as the dry signal. But when I slightly decrease the volume with the pedal, the sound is rather synthetic. As already mentioned, only the ORIGINAL slider is up. If I add some octaves and move the volume pedal, the ?original? signal on toe down position sounds like the dry signal, but the other octaves don´t. They always have that synthetic sound. I hope, you understand, what I try to explain?

So, why does the signal of the ?original? slider sound as crispy and clear as the dry signal, at 100% volume in the ?volume? mode?
And why does it sound ?synthetic? again, when the pedal is moved only 1 mm towards toe up position?
In all other modes, like octave down, filter, wah, the sound of the ?original? voice is always slightly synthetic.

I hope, someone can answer my question.
Maybe someone can try this on his own HOG and then tell me, how his unit behaves.

Best regards,
Daniel
