Evolution of the Stage Hog :
I first came up with the Stage
Hog concept in Aug of 1999. After many experiments and many prototypes,
I was finally happy with the design and sold the first one in Jan 2004.
The tonal characteristic of
the Stage Hog has remained constant from that first amp in 2004 to the
one being built on my bench today. What has changed is added control so
the player can change the Stage Hog's voicing to suite his own needs.
Version #1
Bypass switch located on the
SH itself
Status LED was located
above the Line Out Level Control
Version #2
-
Addition of a switchable boost circuit.
Version #3
Addition of
remote switching bypass
Addition of a bright switch
[Getting
the status LED onto the remote switch freed up space on the Stage Hog’s
chassis to add a tone control on the line out section.]
Version #4
Addition of a two function remote switch (bypass and boost).
[Getting the boost switch onto the remote switch
freed up the space to add the mid cut switch.]
Version #4.5
Mid switch getting a revamping into a mid boost circuit.
Version #5
Addition of a two channel line out (rhythm and lead)
Addition of a buffered output.
