I would suggest starting with the newer stuff. It is less expensive, and if you need to flip it will be easier.

that's a no brainer, aftershock and Gemini by a mile, way more advanced and flexable for less money.

cool, I guess it's decided then...I know the options are overwhelming on the new pedals, but if I save a few presets, maybe it won't look quite so complicated until I eventually go the midi route/hub...because i know it will happen...thanks..

A no brainer? I guess I don't fully get the one series. I thought to do Flang on the Gemini Chorus you had to load a different engine and then save that new preset with the hub. Then replace that engine with the phaser engine and save that preset for that with the hub. Then load the Chorus engine back in if you want it to be a chorus pedal again. I just recently bought the Orbital so I could set up without the use of a computer. I don't fully understand the benefit of the One series over the Soundblox 2s.

You are making it look harder than what it is. You don't need a hub to load/save engines into the pedal, just a smartphone, and a TRS cable that comes with the box. Also, you don't need to load engines back. The One Series can store 6+ presets, with different engines if you want to, and you toggle between them with the pedal hardware.

I didn't know you could save presets. That is cool. Can the presets be from different Engines? (IE: 2- flanger, 1 chorus, 4- phaser)
I wouldn't want to scare anyone away from these pedals, I am sure they are great, but so are the Soundblox 2s.

PS:
This thread and the Future Impact thread have a lot of deep information for users, but someone dropping by to see how people like the Aftershock before he buys it may see all the tech talk and think "I don't even know what midi is, I guess I need a Boss pedal".

So it can't go straight into a MIDI controller pedal with a USB to MIDI cable, is that correct? Hmm, this changes my options quite a bit. It's a little hard to get the hub here haha.

I got TYMC to bring in one, they do orders without extra cost I think.

Anyway, yeah there's no MIDI jack on the aftershock. But I suppose you *could* use an expression pedal/tap tempo to switch presets if you get it set up right (and depending on your exact needs)

Come to think of it, @rsmith601 the aftershock can't do morph right?

Is there a video somewhere going into detail about how to make use of all of the MIDI goodness the Source Audio equipment brings to the table?
For instance, say I have a couple of One Series pedals and I want to control them via MIDI. What else do I need to add to the pedalboard, how to interface it/them and how to use it/them to effectively and efficiently control my One Series pedals.
Thanks...

The short version is that Source Audio uses the Hub for MIDI. So you get a Hub and a bunch of 3.5mm TRRS cables, and then your MIDI controller of choice talks to the Hub and the Hub interprets it for everything else. Except the Nemesis, that has direct MIDI ports.

OK...Now that I updated my Hub Manager firmware to include my Aftershock, I also plugged my Nemesis through the hub but it's nowhere to be seen on the manager. I'm sure it's been dealt here before, but with it's 236 pages, it's impossible for me to find the info in the thread...So, once again, I need some help...

Make sure the Nemesis firmware is updated as well now, I think a new one was pushed recently.


ProTip: TB's search kinda sucks (it's the forum engine itself), use google.com and type "talkbass.com: whatever you're looking for", it'll be a much more concise search. Use quotations around key phrases you know are included, like "Nemesis" "Hub Manager".

Off-topic: why would you need to use quotes around a single word like "Nemesis"?

I did update the Nemesis firmware a couple of weeks ago and checked today on SA website and it did look like the same version. I'll check that again. Thanks!

It is important to have the most recent Firmware in both the Hub an the Nemesis. I think you can do it from within the Hub Manager Software. Right?
