Is the Nemesis getting out of sync with MIDI clock, or is it just never getting in sync? The control input LED should blink for each quarter note received from MIDI clock. With "Sync to MIDI clock" enabled, is the Tap LED matching the blinking of the control input LED? There may be a bit of delay between all of the blinks, but this won't make any difference sonically, since the rate's are all equal. That said, I replicated your setup and am noticing some trouble with syncing. We'll look further into this, and get things running smoothly.

With an expression pedal connected to the Soleman's Expression input, it should start generating CC's right away. When moving the expression pedal, you should see the Expression Bar Graph and CC values changing. So far so good? By default, it will send CC0, so open the Soleman Editor, and change that to your desired number. Check out this document for the Nemesis' CC mappings: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Or, map CC's to your other One Series. Page 19: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Any progress? Please feel free to email us at [email protected] anytime.



It's not possible to save Tap Tempo mode on a preset by preset basis with the SB2's, but there is a workaround. Use your Manta's left footswitch preset as normal, and put your right footswitch preset into tap tempo mode. Now, when saving a preset that you'd like to use tap tempo with, save it in the right footswitch position when saving to the HUB. Now, it will recall that preset with tap tempo enabled.
Thanks @nathannavarro! That's actually what I ended up discovering last night after I sent that message haha.

Haven't actually had time to play with this due to heavy work schedule and pedalboard free weekend (oh the humanity!). But I should have a few free hours in the morning to tinker. It really seemed like everything was at different times. The vertigo and tap tempo on the soleman were going at approximately the same time, but the nemesis appeared to be receiving a different tempo from the hub/soleman and then the tap light being something completely different. To be fair part of this may be my own idiocy and nothing to worry about but the ridiculous amount of different blinking really freaked me out.

I'm seeing the graph as I should on the soleman, so all is well there. Is it safe to assume that when changing expression parameters for a pedal through a hub scene it would only work from the expression on the hub and not from the soleman? Or am I just completely missing the ball on some of the options in hub scenes?
 
Hey guys, I did some searching, but haven't found anyone with this issue before. I bought a Programmable EQ based off a lot of user recommendations that it has high headroom (my basses are all Spectors at this point, which are on the hot side). Even with the volume and eq controls lowered on my Spector, and even while running into my audio interface, the PEQ is distorting my signal heavily. It is set to flat, not boosting any of the EQ bands, and this happens even at unity gain? Anyone have any thoughts?

@nathannavarro
Nathan is a fellow spector player and im pretty sure ive seen the PEQ on his board so he might have some insight into this

So just got my Soleman and Gemini in the mail today!!! Can some one tell me more about the sidechain evelope input option on the gemini. Why is there ? what can do with it ? How does it need to be set up? Sorry for the noob questions
 
Another question: Is the cable for the Neuro App just a stereo audio cable? Since the Nemesis' position on my board requires to have this cable constantly connected to Input 2 (at least for as long as I'm still tweaking sounds), I'd like to use an EBS Flat patch cable for space reasons. An adapter should do the trick for the iPhone connection, right?

Yeah it's stereo 1/4" at the Nemesis to stereo 1/8" on your device. EBS doesn't make stereo flat patch cables though; the closest they make is an insert cable (one stereo split to two mono).

Having said that, for the input at the Nemesis I seem to recall that the Neuro signal is only carried by either the Tip or the Ring but not both? I could be 100% wrong about that. But if so, which is it and would some sort of mono connection work?

While I was typing I had the feeling that there was sth. off about my idea. :-) You're right of course. Maybe I'll try anyway. Just need to find that adapter.
 
Well...over all this cable business I forgot to point out: Believe the hype! I'm seriously in love with the Nemesis. First time in years that my Carbon Copy left the board. And it also replaced my H9, which I was mainly using for delay and some glittery stuff. But the lack of knobs always bothered me. So: Thanks for the nice pedal!
Ausgeseichtnet!! Hope I spelled that right :) So glad you like it.
 
We had the first rehearsal for a new band last night, and Was mostly using my TC spark to get a bit of hair, and then the drummer goes "do you know any RATM songs?" so I kicked the Aftershock on and started playing "bullet in the head". It was epic! everybody had a big ol' grin on their faces (we just played it bass drums and vox). We are adding it to the setlist.

The sound guy (oh yeah, we have a sound guy!) came over after we finished it to ask what effect I used during the song so I gave him a quick rundown of what the pedal is and how it works. He said he loved it!

Thanks @rsmith601 you guys kick arse!
 
Close - ausgezeichnet

Exactly! But I have to restate that. The Nemesis is a huge box of fun and sounds and the knobs make it much more readily useable than the H9. I already populated all 8 spots with my favorite presets. Current favorites: The Resonant Analog is a great replacement for my Carbon Copy, the Helix does the ethereal bird sounds we all now and love, the Oil Can is awesome and even makes for a nice reverby thing, Sequenced Filter is also great and don't even get me started on the Compound Shifter…:-)
