Guys, any advice on starting on dialling in best dub step type wobble, I have the following SA pedals

Soundblox 2 Manta bass
soundbllx 2 multi wave
Hot hand

Before the manta in the chain I have a POG octvaver mostly for high and EBS Octabass for low, digit each screaming blues distortion and a mk4.23 clean boost.
After SA pedals I have a big bass muff fuzz.

Any advice on a starter point well received. I won't be playing just dub step, but incorporating it into rock type stuff.

Cheers

Hi @Cuzzie , I agree with everything @Nic. said, and add that you may want try experimenting with your signal chain. This might not be the best signal chain for your other needs, but for bass wobbles, I'd probably set your pedals in this order:
Bass -> mk4.23 Clean Boost -> Screaming Blues Distortion -> Soundblox 2 Multi Wave -> Big Bass Muff Fuzz -> POG Octaver -> Soundblox 2 Manta -> EBS Octabass -> Amp

@nathannavarro I'm curious, why the octabass at the end? Wouldn't it have difficulties tracking after all the stuff going on before it?

I've found that distorting a bass signal after it's run through an octave pedal can cause mud, especially with more complex distortions, like some of the engines in the Multiwave. If it weren't for the POG in the chain, I would keep the Octabass before the Manta, but since Cuzzie has two octave pedals to work with, it might be nice to have one after the Manta for more sub-heavy, less distorted wobble patches.

Okay @rsmith601 @nathannavarro @TheSleeve - I know I've brought it up before but I have to double check one last time since I incorrect assumed the wrong thing about the One Series before: if I buy a Gemini or even the Lunar, I should be able to set it up for my favorite Orbital patches AND save it via the Hub no matter which pedal or what switch setting the pedal is currently on, correct?

Example - buy the Gemini, set it up for a uni-vibe phaser setting and save it to a scene.

Hi @bassvirtuoso. That is correct. :)

I see...thanks for the information! I'd be interested to see how that turns out.

First test and the Octabass pedal now octaves the signal even when not kicked on.
Think I have some tinkering to do.

Only been playing bass about a year, so As I do this if anyone has any cool ideas as to why, please share, or maybe I just have to play with the order...

All had time to do so far was take it out the chain, and the signal was fine.
I'll try a different power cable and swap it with POG or even further up the chain and see.
If I put it right at the start and it does it, it must be faulty.

Frustrating, but I do love to tinker!

And the ability to use MIDI expression to control a parameter, is that available in the app? (I don't have an iOS device and will have to borrow one)

Just to be clear on this. The One Series pedals do not yet show up in the Hub Manager software like the Orbital. You can add them to scenes with the Hub, but if you want to tinker with parameters, you need to use iOS or Android (hopefully next week). Midi control of One Series works via the Hub or USB.
