Thanks for the thorough response... I'll make a point of downloading and reading the manual at least a few times before the MC6 arrives. And I should do the same for the Hub.

Cool. Let me know if you can get it to work with the C4.

Are you using iPhone or Android? You might need to invest the phase. Not sure why the videos are not posted.
Man, that sound is KILLER. Does anyone know if that's in the Neuro Community? Dang, I really like that! I can definitely think of a couple uses for that patch!
My time with the C4 has been a bit scattered so far, but I've really been enjoying it and have been working on some patches to contribute. Some are ready, others still need some tweaking. I'm mainly focusing on patches I can use for songs with a couple cover bands, but man it's easy to get distracted with everything the C4 can do.

I have to admit that I also posted this to see if anyone knows the preset or something close to that.
I'm also still working on my bread and butter sounds, but I'm learning new stuff all the time. Good thing that I don't care much about the sequencer part…at least not yet. If I'm really bored one day, I'll try a nice tremolo and see about a phaser. All the stuff that's missing on my minimal board.
I'm using an iPhone. Neuro app works fine using a wired connection to the pedal via a dongle and the supplied cord. I tried it both ways: using a corded connection to invert the audio output phase and then trying to connect with the Bluetooth. No go. Same deal without the invert box checked. I know the device is working because I can hear other sounds from the phone through my amp. Can't seem to figure out what the problem is. As I said, I'm using the Mpow Streambot MINI. Thanks for your help.
@rsmith601 This is officially driving me nuts. I watched the video – thanks for posting BTW – and am using the same equipment you are: an iPhone X and a Streambot MINI. The Bluetooth device works. I can plug in headphones and hear the "scritch" sound as I change presets on the Neuro app. I have the Invert Audio box checked. I tried pulling the C4 out of my chain and plugged it in on its own. No go. Then I tried pulling the Aftershock out of the chain and doing the same thing. No go. The light does not flash; the preset does not change. I also tried deleting and reinstalling the app. I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I'm running out of things to try.
I have to admit that I also posted this to see if anyone knows the preset or something close to that.
It sounds like it might actually be Nathan Navarro's Funk Dragon patch, but that's only based off memory. I won't be able to actually check for sure until I get home.

Have you tried adjusting the volume? Start at Max and then back off.
Yes! Backing off the volume not one but two notches finally worked. The one thing I didn't try. Thanks, @rsmith601! Have I said Source Audio has the best customer service? Source Audio has the best customer service.
The MPow works great with my Samsung S10. The crappy Bluetooth adapter I have did too but this is smaller and seems to hold a charger longer. I havent tried with iPad yet but need to reset my Apple password so I can update the app. This is going to get a lot of use at gigs for me.
Hey so I'm on vac next week and I will most def be able to get anyone a new number and I'll get that updated club listing then. At that time I'll make a post requesting to tag me if you want a number moving forward so I see it when requested. But I'll get it sorted out next week for sure. Sorry for the delay all!

Yep. Even with the cord I had to back off the volume about 1/4 to get it to communicate correctly with mine and an iPhone Xs.
Had a bit of time tonight and did a little bit of refining of my swept filter patch...now uploaded to the community as Waves.v1. I have another one to put up (another sweep, different filter/envelope, no swell) but only saved it to my pedal, so that will have to wait.
I did get my ES-5 programmed with stuff for this weekend, though. I'm keeping my other pedals still on for now and made a full bank of 'alternate' C4 patches for songs since I'm conservative about taking chances at shows. That way I can opt to the 'old setup' if I need. The C4 setup was easy using the CC's that come mapped. Everything works as planned/as it should, all MIDI pedals and controllers are playing nice with each other. If this weekend's shows work well with the C4 I'll remove another couple pedals next week too.

Yay!! I love it when we solve this stuff!!
The is the best C4 demo to date. By a mile. Wonder if the preset is in the community library....
Turns out that making those no frills Tremolo and Phaser patches was pretty easy. The C4 is beautiful! I just shared my first couple of patches!

Yep. it's actually pretty not bad. Figuring how to get what to which processor and/or how the filters and envelopes interact is probably what took a bit. Again, I think the stuff you're talking about being up and accessible for people is important...lots of players are going to hear some of the stranger or more 'I did this just because I could' patches and think there's nothing there for them. So a bunch of working bassists’ patches is important. Also, if people are designing patches to cop other effects' tones, they should include that info in their descriptions for searching.

Yip, with only a Compressor, tuner, 2 gain pedals, a Delay/reverb combo and the C4 fitting on my Nano+, the C4 has to pull a lot of weight. So far it's working out brilliantly.
