This really is a fantastic pedal. I saw it and knew I would be combining it with the HOG. I was slightly worried it wouldn't be able to do everything I was thinking of, but they have accounted for everything I might want to do with it.
One minor issue - the TRS stereo cable supplied with it didn't fit perfectly into the 8-Step, and so the unit operated (I think) as if it were a mono cable, outputting a control voltage and not operating correctly at all. This was easily fixed by replacing the cable with one of my own. It would be a good idea to have one on hand, just in case.
