Are there any clips of someone using his/her Manta with an expression pedal as a wah-wah?

(which is for me the only thing withholding me from removing my BEFPro and Dunlop 105Q from my pedalboard in favor of a Manta+midi)

TIA,
Herwig

I didn't exactly do a lot of playing since my board was not at my feet, but I just uploaded a Manta as a Wah video showing how to set it up. Believe me when I say I am confident this will get any sort of wah sound you'd ever want. Between all the filter types, and then the control over the specific frequency and Q, plus dirt, I'd find it hard to imagine you'd be unable to get a desirable wah sound.

I apologize if this has been asked.....Besides the distortion is there a major upgrade in Envelope filters from the Soundblox Bass Envelope to the Manta?? The Pro is too big for my board. I do not really need more dirt. Layout? Ease of use? Available presets? I am already adding a Orbital Modulator and need a good envelope while I spend the next year figuring out my Wahoo. TY Cheers!

Yeah, @adamaarts is the one with the videos, I just make memes about waiting for the Reflex.

(Although we actually have somewhat overlapping setups---our Source Audio pedals are the Manta and Bass OFD.)

I'm pretty sure the standard Soundblox 2 power supply is 9V 300 mA, so that will definitely get you 2 SB2 pedals.

I will have to check when I get home but I'm quite certain mine (US Manta and Bass OFD) are 300 mA.

Back to my query about no signal in mix loop .. I tried guitar > manta > amp & bypass works just fine, I then tried a different pedal (off) in mix loop & bypass fine, then tried manta in mix loop again & bypass 'no signal' lol ... weird ?!? I'll run the tests again but I'm certain the other pedal worked fine on 100% wet in bypass .. I also did bypass reset on manta but no difference .. How do you do full factory reset ?
