    EHX Hog on Bass - anyone use one/thoughts/experience

    in Effects

    Posted · Edited by tonyclaret

    Hi,

    I've seen a few vids on these being used on bass. Looks pretty cool for adding some synth padding.

    Anyone any experience with it?

    Is it easy to use in a live situation?

    Recommended? Better alternatives?

    Do you need the additional controller?

    Do you need the expression pedal?

    Cheers

    I preferred the sound of the S112, that's right. The 1126 was more powerful, with lots of bottom end. My plan then was to just have the two 1126 and nothing else. But I didn't gel with them. Same with a pair of BF BB2 cabs. The S112 cabs are much more my thing. They just don't get as loud or as deep as the 1126 or BB2... but it turns out it's not really much of a problem.

    As a one cab solution the 1126 works, while the S112 does not (for me). I need both together, unless it's just as a stage monitor. A one cab solution would be the Two10 for me. However two S112 cabs are still very compact and so light and easy to transport...

    I got the Two10 as I was curious about going to a 2x Two10 configuration for those times when I need more than what the two S112 can give me, and the sound of the Two10 is very pleasant. So I generally take a single Two10 as a stage monitor because it works better than a single S112 (but not as good as two S112)... but that's because, as someone pointed out, I'm greedy and I like to keep a pair of S112 and a pair of Two10 ;)

    Brilliant explanation again. Cheers Tony

    Glad to be of some use :)

    Without derailing this post, I noticed from another thread you did have a couple of 1126's. Didn't this offer similar flexibility? As a one cab solution would the 1126 fair better than the S112? I presume you sold the 1126's because you preferred the tone of S112's? Cheers in advance.

    My impression so far is that the S112 and the Two10 belong to the same 'family of sound'. They are different but not hugely. The Two10 has a bigger bottom end but it remains tight, and the S112 has very sweet low midrange with less bass... but with a small EQ adjustment you get very close to one or the other.

    Since I got the Two10, I never use a single S112 as a monitor, because it is only a little heavier/bigger (not enough to make any significant difference to my travel/stage arrangements) and I find I can get the same kind of sound, but I never feel I'm pushing it too hard.

    For small bar gigs without PA support, I would often take a single Two10 because it's convenient to carry just one box, and it's loud enough and with sufficient bottom end.
    I would generally prefer two S112 because I prefer their sound slightly over the Two10 (and two S112 have a noticeable bigger bottom than a single one, so it covers the bottom as well as a Two10)... so if is not a hassle to carry two boxes rather than one, I'll use two S112... if not a single Two10 is ok.

    Small bar gigs without PA support, where bringing two boxes is not a problem... then it's two S112.

    For bigger places or outdoors without PA support, I'd use two Two10 cabs, because that gets louder and deeper and I won't find myself wanting. But it depends on how loud you need to be. As I said, my ska/reggae band on Sunday did very well with two S112 in a beer garden - but it wasn't a very large beer garden or very loud.

    If you already have a S112, I'd get a second one. I like their sound a bit better than a single Two10, and there's no shortage of bass. If you like the sound of your S112, and would like a bit more of the same with a little extra low end, then get a second S112.

    Appreciate your time and expertise on this. Pretty much covered what was going around in my head. :-)

    I have one TKS S112 and it sounds lovely. Haven't used it in a live gig situation yet, but have been pondering adding a second cab for flexibility. I'll be playing mainly pubs and clubs, got a festival coming up but would have PA and monitor support for that. So hoping I may get by? Or do I pull the trigger on another cab?

    Now available at Thomann, unless I bought the last one. Free shipping if you buy something else for one euro. As my Kinsman stool is falling apart, I took the opportunity to buy a replacement.

    I look forward to hear their Darkglass versions of B3k and B7k

    Very interested in this too, on line demos don't sound far off.

    The B3k is my favourite od by far, will need some convincing to get the old boot.

    +1 on the POD HD500x. The modelling is excellent. Whilst the Zoom is good, the POD is in a different league. - you do need the bass expansion pack though.

    Mmm... lot of floor space needed here. I do like the idea of everything having its own dedicated stomp.
