Tallon Electric The Hog Overdrive

Getting in on the ground floor to help promote a company’s first flagship pedal is always something special here at Pedal of the Day, and we’ve got an absolute banger on the bench today. The Hog Overdrive from Tallon Electric is the only overdrive ever created that enables you to dabble with the untamed guitar stylings of the band Bilmuri, whose sound incorporates pop-punk, electro-laced emo, experimental post hardcore and more. Blending drive and distortion into a glorious sonic stew, this pedal has a wide range of tones and amp-driving prowess for days and days…

For The Hog Overdrive, Tallon Electric partnered with Johnny Franck of Bilmuri to recreate his unique guitar tone featured on albums such as 400LB BACK SQUAT (2021) and EGGY POCKET (2020). Fueled by their desire for pure tone, Franck and Tallon Electric embarked on a quest. Using Johnny’s personal equipment and studio, the pair spent months in trial and error – exploring every combination of parts and parameters until they achieved the crystal clear, yet devastatingly heavy guitar tone his fans have come to expect.

Load sets the output volume, Crank adjusts the gain of the distortion channel and Optimize sets the balance between the distortion channel and the crunch channel. Use the Clarity knob to control the treble content at the output, and the Beef toggle switch goes between a fat or tight low end on the distortion channel. Add in soft touch true bypass switching and top-mounted power and audio jacks, and you’ve got a brilliant, dirty, powerful effects machine.

Striving to reach optimal levels of dank riffage, The Hog Overdrive can move effortlessly from breakup to crunch to powerful dirt box in mere seconds. Sometimes, there’s a bit of a learning curve on new pedals’ production, but that is not the case here with Tallon Electric – this thing sounds incredible.
