This thing is amazing. I’m going through all the user shared presets. Tons of awesome stuff in there. Now I just gotta read my manual and learn how to use it better. I think I can get away with 6 presets for now. But I bet if I end up using the C4 for more stuff, I’ll need a HUB. The sounds are endless really. But it’s amazing how many awesome things the C4 can do. It’ll replace the meatbox spot on my board. Best part, there’s actually some sub bass stuff I can do with the C4. Love the filters! Nathan has made some very awesome presets.

Hey @rsmith601, you think the C4 can do a meatbox? I know the meatbox is a pretty unique pedal so I wouldn’t be surprised if it couldn’t quite get there. But it can def do that sorta thing. So much fun in this one little teeny tiny box!!!

You might want to consider the DMC Micro for accessing C4 presets. Small and simple. The Hub is a bit more involved.
We don't have a Meatbox. Can't comment.
Have fun!!

I have one of those adaptors... can you confirm it works ok though ?

Yes. iPhone 7 and 8 usually work fine.

I just got a v1 hub used.

I've been under the impression that they're the same internally/functionally, just different aesthetic design on the outside. But maybe that's not the case?

Is this correct @rsmith601? Are the silver and black hubs the same thing? Just different chassis?

I just got a v1 hub used.

I finally hooked up my Hub to the C4 last night. Set both hub and C4 to MIDI channel 1. I used my DAW to test MIDI CC messages. Preset changes and bypass couldn't be easier. It all worked on the first try.

Yay!!!

Same exact thing.

 

[gregmon79]

Same exact thing.

Awesome.

Oh, side note too, kudos on the newer power plugs size for these pedals man!! The little plug fits right into my power strip under my board. Great added bonus.

Going through some of the available patches, some really great sounds. The tracking is amazing. I wish it were better lower on the neck, but physics. I will say though, it can easily track pitches down to the low B, so it's miles beyond most everything else.

The Neuro desktop app is nice. Is there a way to download a patch to my library and NOT have the app switch focus to the library? It would make it a lot nicer for going through and grabbing a bunch of patches to use later.

Hey guys, can you hook a regular exp pedal like the moog up to it or is it only compatible with SA’s dual exp?

Yes you can use any TRS to TRS expression pedal with the right cable.

I like those more @rsmith601

Great look & idea. I need to find my box of orphan knobs and put some cool ones on my C4.

Swipe left on the preset for quick options. Awesome shortcut!!

Sorry, I was giving you Mobile tips.

Checking in.
Just got back from picking up my C4 today.
I got the last one from guitar pedal shoppe in MA.
I'm already very impressed with 2 of the stock presets.
One of which you can use to play the theme from Star Trek TNG.

 

[Grahams Groove]

Whoa.

 

[Robertron]

Oh man I need to hear that!

 

[smeet]

Where in the fx chain is everyone putting the C4? I’d think a synth should be at the start of the chain, but a filter is nice after dirt. Any thoughts on this?

 

[Robertron]

I've been having trouble deciding but after a lot of experimenting I have it after my dirts and Aftershock but right before my delay and reverb.

 

[lesclaypoolsob]

The new Nintendo sequence presets are hilarious and sound great

But if it’s after the dirt, you can’t really get a distorted synth tone, right? You can mix in distorted bass but the synth is always clean. Hmm, maybe keeping them separate could be a good thing.

 

[LeonD]

Maybe you need two?
