Differences between the Pro and Non-Pro:

Pro has Clean boost/EQ and a level set
Pro has 6 savable presets

I really like my MWBDP and some of the straight up distortions (Single Band Normal) are my always on tones and have a pretty tubey tone. The other tones are more synth-ish in nature. Extra colors for experimentation. The clean blend is a great touch.

Yeah I saw a demo on Youtube and I really dig it.

I love my pro version!!! But my reason for loving it may be different than was intended.

I am using the 3 different presets as a front end of my pedal board just using the clean boost and EQ to even out levels of my 3 different basses.

I can also use an expression pedal to switch to a distorted sound utilizing the same EQ which really adds some versatility to my pedal board.

Also since it is digital I don't have to worry about nobs being turned and settings being lost. An awesome pedal for sure!!!

You can also morph with the expression pedal between 1 & 4, 2 & 5, and 3 & 6 presets. You should really check out Source Audio's website (their videos are on their website making it easier to see the good demo's Will has done). All your questions will be answered there. If not, do a thread search for the "Source Audio Club" here on TB. The Multi-wave pro and non pro have been discussed extensively there.

If all else fails, there are two members on talkbass who work for Source Audio, including the president of the company. You can find them in the Source Audio club thread. They are friendly and more then happy to answer your questions, but please, make the effort to answer them yourself first before bugging them with questions that are already answered. They're busy guys.

I love this feature! I love this pedal!
I really love the range of sounds you can get out of this thing. As mentioned previously, beaut tubey tones to synthy madness, spank any presets with any EQ you desire and the no-knob-setting-loss-cause-im-digital factor just blow me away!
I would recommend this pedal highly
