Great stuff Adam! When you save a patch on the hub, does it save and recall the M9 settings also?? Just wondering if that's how it works?

The M9 can do auto save or manual
Save, and is not affected by the hub at all. It's all from whatever PC message it is sent. So my clean tone (PC 0) has all the the effects bypassed but set to certain effects already that I can click in and out. I have it set to auto save so if I click on a reverb, then switch to PC 2, the back to PC 0 it will remember the state of the reverb and have it engaged like I left it. If I alter the effect and change it to a delay, then change PC again, then back it will automatically remember the change won't having to do anything extra.

The manual save is a better choice for not accidentally changing something, but the auto save is much easier when programming presets.

Sorry if this has been covered already but I'd like to know a bit more about the effects loop routing option on the 1-series please (specifically the Gemini). I assume this allows the stereo (second) input and output to act as an effects send/return? Does this then allow for the chorus effect (in the case of the Gemini) to be applied only to the loop and keep the dry signal, er..., dry? And, if so, is it possible to choose whether the loop comes before or after the chorus effect?

Sorry, this is not addressed at all in the manual.
Using the Neuro App, you can set it up to be either pre-effect or post effect. If you want to only have the loop effect active, then set the mix on the Gemini to 100% dry. If you have a Hub, then all of this is savable as a Hub preset. Hope that is clear.

We are discussing this in house a bit. I can see why one wants the dry signal in a case where there is an envelope detector. Why is keeping the dry signal dry after an effects loop?

Checking out Nathan's cool video above, I noticed that he's got 5 One Series pedals plus the Nemesis running. The One Series would use the 5 ports on the hub. Is the Nemesis using a regular DIN MIDI cable? Does it also take the SA sensor cable like the other pedals?

I can tell you that it definitely takes a 5-pin MIDI. I assume it takes the 3.5mm TRRS. I think they are intending to make all of the new stuff Hub compatible, but they're rolling that part out slowly. I'm sure you'll get an official answer soon.

Nemesis has:
1) Expression/tap tempo switch via 1/4 jack
2) MIDI in and out via DIN jacks
3) Multifunction port TRRS jack for: Hub, EXP, Hot Hand, SA tap tempo switch, etc.

All bases are covered!

Let me start this post by saying that I've always been very impressed with Source Audio stuff. I say that because I don't want my post to be construed as overly negative, especially when the point is to praise what I think is a fantastic pedal.

In the past I've owned a BEF, a BEF Pro, a Multiwave Bass Distortion and a Soundblox 2 Orbital. The Multiwave just wasn't my thing, but I dug the envelope and modulation sounds of the BEF/BEF Pro and the Orbital. I wish the phaser had more of an asymmetrical waveshape available (something like an EHX Bad Stone or Small Stone) but really impressive. Not digital sounding at all. But as a knob twiddler I just didn't dig the UI.

But then I realized that dirt pedals are one of the few where I find a setting I like and then don't touch it. So I figured the OFD would work well for me. I just didn't realize HOW well it would work. The dirt sounds are really incredible and it's a testament to both how far digital modeling has come and the expertise of the SA engineers. To be able to dial in an overdrive tone that cleans up with light playing and sounds fantastic when you dig in wasn't something I was sure I'd be able to get out of the OFD. But I definitely did. And the two stomp layout works perfectly for me. I'm not huge on stacking dirt pedals so it's always been a bit of a struggle to go from an overdriven tone to a heavy distortion or fuzz (turning one pedal on and another off quickly) so being able to easily go back and forth is a great feature.

Really well designed and executed pedal and a really reasonable price.
