I just ordered a Manta from 8th Street and used paypal. They're also offering 10% off right now, although I was charged for shipping and it ended up being only $5 off.

Nevermind, I see you ordered already. Anyway, I just got the OFD today. SA has invaded my board.
okay. I didn't spend much time getting it exact, but I think that it's pretty close.
the clip order goes:
bypassed
OCD
OFD

and here's the OFD settings that I used to make the clip:
Just tried this one john while messing around with the HUB and it is real good sounding. Unfortunately, I could only try it through the headphones because the kids are sleeping, but it sounds real spot on.

Well, I've had time to really work out the OFD in context. It's really great! Probably the 1st time I've setup sounds at home that I didn't have to adjust on the gig.
Either my ears are getting better or this pedal just WORKS!

Source Audio should have an app on their site that allows you to enter in all of your settings like John has done for all of their pedals so people can easily share their settings. This template is very useful. Thanks!
+1. Kinda like the settings examples that come with the sansamp, B7k or Mesa amps I have owned.
If anything it could serve as a good starting point for this Pandora's box of awesome tones. I haven't stopped messing around with this pedal since I got it and I really want to hear what other people are able to get out of it as well.

You should also consider how this could work with the scene saving and sharing that you had mentioned would be possible with the HUB.

My OFD is out for delivery!!! 
I can't wait to get my hands on this bad boy. I have a show this Thurs and no practice beforehand. Trial by fire I guess. Any suggestions for me to learn the pedal before I play a show in 4 days??

This seems like a while new era of effects with the Hub and these effects processing concerning the hub and all the options available with a few SA pedals. My wallet hurts just thinking about it.

The OFD is one of the easiest SA pedals to dial in. You should be able to find 2 settings that will work in time for your show. Check out El Raton and Octave Fuzz.
I have a feeling those will be my main ones as well. I already have the rat king so it may not be presetting any for the rat. I do remember hearing a demo of the octave fuzz though, sounded fantastic.
Had a recording session this weekend. I brought all of my pedals just in case, but the only one I used was the OFD. I'll try to recreate the tones I ended up saving, but if it wasn't clean bass tone then I was using either the gated fuzz or the el raton. El Raton just slayed everything.
Also because a lot of the gear was set up before I arrived I had to run into the effects loop of my amp. The OFD sounded great! I wish all my pedals could handle line level signals so well. I'm going to see if any of the video and audio I have from the session are usable and hopefully post something this week.
