The award winning HOG (Harmonic Octave Generator) is a totally polyphonic guitar synthesizer offering complete control of up to 10 interval pitches. NO glitches and NO special pickup needed. Generate extreme sub bass to powerful multi-octave chords. Convert your 6 string into a 12 string, create a realistic B3 organ. Amazing on guitar but works well with any instrument. * Flawless polyphonic glitch-free tracking across the entire range! * Controllable harmonic intervals: -2 octaves, -1 octave, Original note, +5th, +1 octave, +1 octave +5th, +2 octaves, +2 octaves + 3rd, +3 octaves, +4 octaves. * Works directly from your instrument's output * Expression pedal (included) with 7 selectable expression modes: +/- 1 octave and 1 step pitch bend, freeze + gliss, volume, wah and filter frequency * Pitch Bend expression mode turns the HOG into a whammy pedal * Freeze expression mode is a new guitar effect never heard before. Freeze allows the musician to freeze a note or chord so you can play over it or slide to new notes just like a keyboardist would do when using portamento * Dedicated resonant filtering with sweepable frequency control * Amplitude envelope control allowing the musician to lengthen a note's attack, for swell effects, or to increase a note's decay speed * Separate lower and upper harmonic region amplitude envelopes * MIDI in allows expression control using MIDI pitch bend * 9LDC-500 power supply included" Update via Scott of EHX:
"Bill Ruppert, a studio musician in Chicago, created this neat video in which he uses an Electro-Harmonix HOG to recreate the very well-known synth sounds from The Who's 'Won't Get Fooled Again.'

My understanding is that in the original song, Pete Townsend combined a 1968 Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 organ with an EMS VCS3 mk1 synthesizer. Bill gets damn close with his Electro-Harmonix HOG, plus a bit of echo from his Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai."
