If we are throwing out product suggestions, a Soleman Plus with the hub built in. would make the soleman a little larger, but cut down on the pieces/wires you would have to have on your board.

Sorcerers...
I just got a Manta and Dual Expression. The DE is just a bit too big to go on my Pedaltrain Metro 24 so it will likely have to be carried separately. Maybe if I had the soft case instead of hard case I could wedge it in there. But then I had a thought - anyone on here using the hub in conjunction with a mini expression pedal (e.g. the AMT or Hotone ones) in preference to the Dual Expression?
Source Audio, I would love to see a simple mini expression pedal, cheaper than the DE, that removes the need to buy a hub just for expression.
Or is there a way to wire a standard exp pedal up to the multi function input on the Manta?

Hub plus a small non-SA EXP is probably the way to go in your case.
On the One Series we got clever and allow for wiring up a custom small plug to work with any non-SA EXP, but on Manta it needs either the Hub or the Dual EXP. Sorry about that!

Seems like a logical future next step. We just need to figure out how to get the jacks on the top of the Soleman.
Does it work with any expression pedal? I have a Moog EP-2 and Hotone Bass Press I could put into service, but also looking at the Dunlop DVP4.

Moog EP-2 is VERY likely. They are quite standard, as I recall. Not sure about the others. "Probably" is my best answer, but the range may not be 100%.
I used the Zoom expression pedal for a combination of size, cheapness and how easy it was to find.
If it works with the Zoom AND the Moog then it must be pretty flexible as the Moog doesn't work with Zoom multi-fx pedals!
I have a used hub on the way to try out, I already have the Hotone so will give that a go first and report back. If it works well I will probably step up to the Dunlop as it's a much nicer pedal and frees up my Bass Press for generic wah duties.

I haven't used the H9 but have used the Soleman since I got an early beta unit. I'm sure it's work great.

If anyone remembers, a while back I was asked to record this track. They wanted a Muse 'Dead Inside' sound and happened to find my YouTube stuffs. I used the Manta as the main tone, there was a few reamp tracks with different effects in there too but the Manta is the base sound for this. Anyway, they just released a music video for it. It's not me in the video, but still cool to see something I worked on become something awesome.
Thanks for the replies. I'm planning on using it with my Nemisis ( after seeing the SA video I know will work well ) and my H9. If this works out I think in the end it will save space and the wiring rats nest I have due to all the switches I'm currently having to utilize to get the most out of these 2 pedals.
Quick Soleman question. I'm trying to program a set list (1st time I'm making one). I'm using the Soleman Editor software (Mac). I name set list 0 and add 5 scenes to it (#s 5, 8, 11, 1, 4). The Soleman shows the set list, but with only one scene in it (#5). Using the software, I change to set list 1 (which is empty) and then back to set list 0. It still has the name, but only has the single scene in it (again, #5). I've done this several times. Any idea what is happening?
Updated board.
The Hub is acting up a bit. If I hit a preset that has the Multi Wave in it, then his another that doesn't, the Hub "drags" the MWB into the next preset and I have to manually switch it off. Anyone ever seen this? It's been doing it for a while, even after firmware updates.

They're G-series wireless transmitters, I can't remember for sure which model.
I know this might happen if, in the next preset, you don't set the MW to bypass either on the hub software and then save the preset or if you manually save presets from the hub.
