Source Audio Sorcerers Society (S.A.S.S) Part 3

The DR is in a non traditional housing. The DR is not stereo. It was unfairly punished for these items, which ought to be "don't cares". Check out the video Will Cady did for this pedal. It is some of his best work. This pedal might win the award for most underrated bass Reverb. Great choice! Have fun!

I don't have a stereo rig and can't see myself getting one, but I do really dig the SA aesthetic look, plus two presets is better than one.

Hey, guys! We're continuing the Nemesis countdown with another video from the sound lab. This time, Brett plays tasty licks through the tremolo engine and ends with some far out self-oscillation.

Hey Nathan, why isn't there a LED lit around the delay type selector wheel in the last video?

Hey Nathan, why isn't there a LED lit around the delay type selector wheel in the last video?

If you select a "back page" delay engine, then all LEDs will be dim. There are 12 engines on the "front page" and 12 on the back. Back page engines are accessible via the Neuro App or MIDI. If you prefer a back page engine over a front page engine, you can swap them, or overwrite them, using the app.

Preset LEDs work in the same way. There are two banks of 4 presets each, which are normally accessible using the preset button, and an additional 120 presets only accessible via MIDI. If you select a preset outside of the bottom 8, then all preset LEDs light up, indicating that you're currently accessing a preset between 9 and 128.

Hey so has source audio ever thought of making a synth/octave bass pedal? Pretty seems like the only thing left to do.

Am I missing an inside joke?

Am I missing an inside joke?

Probably.

Short version is, this has been discussed before and, at best, one might say it's not really a priority for them right now. Other people can fill in the details.

Source Audio fans have been requesting SA's take on synth pedals for years!

I would love a synth pedal that had as many options as the Nemesis loaded onto it!

 

[GnomishViking]

Gotcha makes sense. Oh well one can dream. Someone else shall get my coins then....

Source Audio's Bass Envelope Filter has a lot of synth-esque applications, especially through a slow phaser. Right now I'm rocking the EHX Bass Microsynth that I can't wait to stack with Source Audio's Lunar phaser, but I'd buy a SA Synth pedal in a heartbeat.

I have the manta which I'm not a huge fan of. Some cool sounds but too complex of a pedal for me to use in my situations. I'm really interested in their new pedals that came out especially the chorus

I thought you all the synth needs are now being met? What more can we offer?

Love the live shot of me!! Very good, Adamixoye!!

There is/will be more synth on my board than I can probably handle, but I would still give Source Audio's attempt a try!

While it is true that "the new old guy" might kill the Synth market for the rest of the manufacturers, truth is there is always something different to do and, with SA going for (apparent) simplicity with the one series, I can perfectly see you guys coming up with something like the Subterranea or Rainbow Machine

I have said this before, but even if another brand pedal did sound a little better than an SA, the SA still wins in my book because of the HUB. I switch effects during a song multiple times, it would be very difficult without controlling banks through my Midi Moose and an SA hub. If there was a Soundblox 2 Synth I wouldn't be considering the Future Impact.

 

[Hoss Groovealot]

PS, I did say "even if another brand's pedal sounded a little better", meaning I don't think there is any issue with the sound of Soundblox 2 pedals but to each their own.

Same in regards to the SB 2 synth...but I still may want the Future Impact, too!

Edit: by may I mean I do
