So, what are you using the tap tempo for? Changing presets? I almost picked up an additional tap on Black Friday to use with the Nemesis, but I decided I really need to set up the Dual Expression pedal with it, instead. If I ever have to pick one pedal to use and get rid of the rest, it'd be my Nemesis. Such a fun pedal.

Not 100% quite yet, same as you just figured I'd get one since it was on sale. I think most likely it'll get used as the home switch so I can mess around while holding a note and not having to hold it down the whole time.

Also, someone is gonna get a good deal:

Quick question to anyone with an Aftershock- have you noticed any issue with overall volume? I set up my board last week, had everything dialed in, but when I went to kick on the AS during a song, there seemed to be a volume drop. I tried several things over the weekend, with no real change. Seems like even with my volume pegged it's still slightly quieter than when the pedal is bypassed. I'm still experimenting, hoping I have a setting wrong or something, but figured I'd check here, just in case. For the record, my other SA pedals, notably the OFD, have way more volume/headroom, comparatively speaking.

Big shout out to @nathannavarro and the great dudes at SA... sent them my Aftershock on Friday, Nathan emailed me yesterday to tell me it was an easily remedied firmware issue, and that it's already on it's way back to me. @bassvirtuoso- you may want to contact them, since it sounds like you're having the same issue. Will report back once I have the pedal in-hand.

Thanks for the tip, perhaps I'll reach out to them soon!

Hi guys, got an issue with my BEF. When I engage it my audio cuts out and then fades back in slowly with the effect working.

The amount of time that it takes to fade back in is very variable, occasionally it works as normal, some times it's 10 seconds plus and anything in between.

It happens on every setting, I've tried different power supplies and isolated the pedal on its own and it still happens. Is it DIY fixable? Don't have any experience with pedal maintenance.

Cheers

I thought I read that the new update was going to facilitate mapping more or all of the non knob functions to an expression pedal, specifically I want to be able to control the level of one channel on my aftershock with the expression pedal,.. when is this going to happen?

Has the Neuro app update happened on iOS? All my apps appear to be up-to-date but I don't see the new Nemesis engines when I open the app (I have not yet updated the Nemesis or opened the app while connected to the Nemesis).

Two (minor?) feature requests (@rsmith601, @nathannavarro):

(1) Currently the engage/bypass on the Nemesis (and, I think, SB2) uses a single CC value where engage or disengage happens is based on the value of the CC (e.g., <=63 is bypass and >=64 is engage). While this is very useful, it would also be great if there were a CC that just did a plain toggle with no regard to the existing state of the pedal. So pick your favorite CC number, then any value >0 flips the state just like hitting the footswitch. As an example, Eventide does it this way with different CC commands for engage, bypass, and "toggle."

(2) There was the previous discussion about the Hub not sending PC commands through for the Nemesis, which would have to be a change to how the Hub works. I realize this might be non-standard MIDI, but would it make sense to have a Nemesis CC that works like PC? That way the Hub already passes the CC. Someone who only connects their pedals to the Hub can use the Nemesis as a part of a scene, OR access the Nemesis presets via this CC, without changing the Hub firmware.

Both Nathan and I are on vacation at the moment. Will pass this on to Jesse!

After a long weekend, I was able to finally plug the AS in today... no more issues! Level is working as it should, and there appears to be a ton of boost available. Super pumped to get to dialing it in! Thanks to the guys at Source Audio for taking such great care of me!

So I have just started working my way around the Manta and Reflex. So far I am enjoying the combination but I am unsure weather or not it will kick my Xero Dlx off my board. In a way I really want it to, as I am wanting to create space for a H9.

The manta does the sweep but it seems less smooth/long and deep in comparison to the Xero. Anyone have any tips on how to make it do a long LPF sweep better?
