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

If these guys did a synth pedal I’d be on cloud 9 everything from classic bass synth so super ambient spacey stuff.

My dream SA pedal would be a Ventris style synth/pitch shifter. Two separate engines like the Ventris, and everything from polyphonic pitch shifting and whammy stuff through analog sounding octave down and squelchy synth and envelope filter stuff.
Basically port everything over from the Manta, and add whammy and synth algorithms.
 
I'm pretty sure (though not positive) that a One Series compressor would be way more doable than a synth/octave. Both have been suggested ad nauseum, and a synth has been a dream for everyone.

Basically any compressor that's programmable, with dozens of presets, would be awesome. You'd never have to worry about a "sweet spot," but rather tailor each preset to each different sound you have programmed to make it really work in harmony. Every different sound could have pre- or post compression, with different characters, ratios, etc.

It would be soooo glorious.

Really happy with this compact setup. I’ve dialled the Aftershock into a main OD, a main fuzz and an open slot on the wysiwyg side depending on the situation. And the Nemesis is versatile enough to cover some modulation and pitch needs.
 
Not sure if this counts as blasphemy or not, but the Nemesis and Ventris have officially jumped ship to my newly christened guitar pedalboard!

While setting this up, I booted up the Neuro app on my Android phone for the first time in a long while... I wanted to take a second and give kudos to the Source Audio app development team because the new interface for the app is amazing and makes the app waaaaay more user friendly!

On a separate note, I really want to get a gated reverb on my bass board now that the Ventris is for guitar/keys. Can the Ventris do gated reverb? If so, I may get another one over what I was planning on getting, a Rainger FX Reverb-X.
