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

[stambroker]

I feel like Source Audio has the best kind of problem - we all love their One Series, buy them day 1 and then immediately demand their take on an octave, synth, etc.

I'd love for some kind of SA Synth Module that included an arpeggiator, "sequencer" kind of looper and have a second footswitch that modulates the selected "synth" effect somehow. A SA synth pedal that went beyond the filter sound and gave synth-esque controls would be rad.

Zealotry has its downside.

 

[Adamixoye]

I hit the idea from something Nathan said somewhere in this thread. It's also fun to use it as a bit crusher--i think the diffuse engine works well.

Isn't "degrade" the one to use for bitcrushing?

 

[bassvirtuoso]

I have a TC Electronic Sub'n'up on the way.

From where?

That's it. Thanks for the correction.

 

[bassmonkeee]

From where?

Prymaxe. I preordered on May 5th.

 

[pbfrog]

That's funny, because I hated the Pitchfork. It was tracking my bass very poorly. I guess that's why the marketplace has a plethora of everything.

For what it's worth, I rarely run the POG by itself, just feeding the Duality fuzz.

How do you do this? and the pitch shifter thingy....?

 

[gastric]

You can apply Sample Rate Reduction to ANY of the delay engines via the Neuro app parameters. There's even a published Web preset called "Bit Crush" you can instantly load via Neuro, plus a few dozen others to audition.

Here's a video I posted earlier this year covering modulation, bit-crushing, and pitch shifting with the Nemesis.

Silly question perhaps, but are there any differences between the Aftershock, Kingmaker, and LA Lady pedals aside from the names and the cosmetics of the box? The engines are the same and the software functions seem the same, as well. The lower 2 buttons are labeled differently, but are assigned via software.

LA Lady and Kingmaker are the same, except for color and the 3 sounds that are loaded at the factory. Aftershock has a mix knob, so not exactly same.

But the software functions are the same? Sounds, routing options, etc?

Yup. The same.

 

[pbfrog]

Nice. I admire the vision to develop one enclosure and 2 software packages and get 7 pedals out of it. Plus the Nemesis, of course. That shares some traits, but is obviously a different beast.

It is really 3 software packages: modulators, tremolo, distortions. Vertigo is its own thing.
You are right that Nemesis is based on all the same stuff.

Keepingg this in the Society, what sequences of SA fx are folks using? Mod->Dist/OD, Dist/Od->Mod?

I like vibrato-> SA Aftershock -> SA Lunar Phaser/Flanger/Chorus-> SA Nemesis Delay -> SA Vertigo Trem

 

[pbfrog]

I like Bass OFD -> Manta filter -> non-SA modulation pedal -> Nemesis delay

 

[FretNoMore]

It used to be fixed at OFD -> Manta -> Orbital, but now with the ES-8 (and Nemesis) I will experiment with all possible combinations.
