Soundblox Pro Bass Envelope Filter - Page 9

Hi all,

I'll be picking up my BEF Pro from the post office tomorrow and was wondering if any of you have opinions about the expression-pedal wah option...

I have a Crybaby Bass Wah on my pedalboard - which I, admittedly, don't use very often - and was asking myself whether using the bef pro's wah capabilities might be able to replace it (on those rare occasions that i do want a wah)...it would make sense board-economy-wise...

Also: Am I in the right thread for this?

No one tried it?

I want one. I can't find a dealer who has them in stock though! Anyone in America found a dealer?

Most of our big dealers got shipments this week in the US, such as: 8th Street, Burlington Audio, MacDaddy, Chicago Music Exchange. The shortage is contained for the moment!

Hi,

is there an estimate about when the Source Audio expression pedal is going to be available in Germany/Europe? (e.g. Thomann)

rsmith601 · #**167** 03-13-2012, 06:33 PM

4 to 6 weeks is my guess. The first ones shipped out to the US this week.

I recently redid my presets, and now my first one is set for wah with my Moog EP-2. I've still got my Crybaby, but that's just because I haven't unloaded it yet. I haven't used it in maybe a year. The BEF Pro works great once you dial in your perfect sweep range.

Cool, thanks for your answers. i guess I'll just try it, as soon as that new expression pedal is available (for coherence's sake)...Until the, I still got a lot to learn about this pedal...Finding out about the backpage-menu solved many questions...I'm also eager to find out what the EQ will do to clean sounds etc. etc.

I anticipate using the auto-wah and maybe a hot hand wireless controller for the BEF. I'll use my expression pedal for the MWBD! It's pretty cool to morph between clean boost and distortion, or between distortion and totally whack distortion!

Hey guys... not sure if this thread is to old but I thought I'd give it a try.

Basically - I bought the BEF pro last week over in the UK (bass direct) and seem to be having bleed effect problems. As in - when I bi-pass the BEF, whatever effect I've been using still bleeds through into my signal. I haven't contacted the shop I got it from yet as it's the weekend - so I'm sure they'll sort it when I give them a shout - but is there anything obvious I can do? I've tried factory reset and still the same issue. The tap tempo doesn't seem to work at all either? Any ideas?

Also... all you whizz kids out there who know this pedal back to front... I think it'd be great if someone could make a vid of how to use each of the effects within the BEF - envelope/LFO's/Expression pedal/storing presets etc etc. I'm SUPER technophobic... and reading the user guide just confuses me. So I turned to youtube but there only seems to be demos of 'what' the pedal can do... not 'how' to do it. Now I know loads of you are thinking... this pedal is super easy to use... what are you talking about lol! So - huge apologies for all you technological geniuses out there - but I need help

Any advice welcome guys!

Scott.

Have you seen these videos? That's a great place to start.

Edited to add: and just like that, it works. I tried to save again and this time everything saved, including my backpage settings. Weird....lol. Don't ask me man, I'm just the bass player.

Having the same issue here. But its not the backpage settings that dont safe its the frequency and sweep range settings, which really sucks. Does anyone have had this problem and solved it, or is my unit broken??

Is there a settings thread somewhere?

And also:

Can you set the the beginning of the filter, I know you can set where it ends but on the slower settings there's an obvious delay before the filter kicks in.

I'm up for that.

Jesse may be finishing up a nifty little PC app to help us share patches. But not everyone will have a midi-usb gizmo to connect BEF Pro to computer. So lets start a thread, maybe just snap a pic of the pedal face in backpage mode?

I picked up one of these cheap little buggers and have found it perfectly useful for editing the BEF Pro's "User" LFO wave shape. Presumably it would work for sharing patches if that app ever becomes a reality.

Your idea is great in the meantime, however. Could always use more ideas for presets!

Settings thread link

Just thought I would post a link to the settings thread

I had (what I think sounds like) the same problem. I got my pedal nearly a year ago, so I assumed it was early hard/software. I had to return it to SA in the US, but they sorted it and its been fine since. And to echo what everyone else on here has said, Jessie really does rock.

scottfeldstein · #**180** 12-15-2012, 05:49 PM

So what is "LFO," anyway? It's a way to trigger the filter that..just goes by itself rather than by an expression pedal or the envelope of your note? Which effects on the dial is it particularly good for?
