Guessing game - I start:
Midboost
Ding ding ding!
That's mainly what I did. I didn't have the mid freq range I needed that the PEQ has. Plus that output/boost on it helps.

This video shows how to add some Through Zero Flanging (Orbital) to some Manta bass wobbles. Kind of a cool sound.

I really, really want to get more Source Audio pedals. They are so awesome and affordable!! I bought a Manta last week, and have been digging it so much. It sounds amazing with fuzz. Just amazing. I still have my BEF Pro, but it's off to the side right now so I can build a second board.
Quick question though. How often will Source Audio be updating their products? I would hate to buy a bunch of stuff and then a newer, better version comes out.

The SB2 series and SB Pro series are going to be the top of the line for us for at least the next 2-3 years. Manta and BEF Pro are going to rule for a long time. The only thing that might get attention would be the SB1 series, but not for at least a year. Those guys are big, plastic, and lack some modern features.
Keep in mind that new housings are a BIG investment for us. We don't like doing it.
Would it have been much more complicated to make a digital connection? I just imagine that those SB2 pedals seem to accumulate somehow... one never comes allone 
(p.s. rsmith you have a PN...).

Just mentioning that the Manta has some really usable dirt sounds built directly into the pedal. The benefit of using the built-in drive tones is that the envelope detection is pulled from your (theoretically clean) input signal, thus it will be much more dynamic and touch sensitive regarding the filter envelope performance than if you fed the Manta an already-compressed fuzz signal in front of it.
There's certainly no wrong way to do it.

The Multi-function ports first detect if the communication is one way analog (the old "sensor" ports from the SB1 and SB Pro) or if it is 2 way digital (SB2 and HH3). This is serial communications at a relatively low data rate. Supporting either 96khz or faster 24 bit audio is a much harder problem that would probably require special clock recovery. I can certainly see this coming some day. We have talked about this and some other items that would be nice to standardize on pedalboards someday.

Someone just purchased a Hot Hand Wah plus HH3 from us and sent back this comment:
“You are a sexy BEAST!!! A FREAKIN' BEAST!!!!”
That is a first!!

Anyone have a Multi-Wave AND an OFD on their board? I'm trying to decide if I want to put a MWD on my board or not, and as awesome as it is I just dont know if she'll fit. Just looking for some cool samples
Yes, MWD is more Synthy and pretty distinctive in its tones. It's another arsenal to have.
Thi
s is also a great tutorial for setting all the parameters for Hot Hand 3 AND DExpP!

Sent source audio an e-mail. They suggested a hard reset using a small piece of wire to scramble the HH's circuit board. My ring didn't match the e-mail instructions and the ring still had the same problems after the battery drain they suggested.
After a follow up e-mail I got a replacement ring sent to me under warranty. It's charging now and hopefully this solves the issue.
Good customer service, hoping the replacement holds up better than the original one.

Still right here for you, when needed!! By the way, sounds like you have an old ring. Where did you get it?
Depending on the P-Bass. My Nash '57 has quite aggressive highmids, but my friends 63 reissue is much more polite. To cut through, a midbump is always good.
