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

It would be the single most game changing piece of gear for me. The sounds I constantly jump to would benefit so so much!

Right, I almost forgot that there's even more new stuff coming. Interesting. I feel a strange connection to this company. The BEF Pro and the Multiwave Bass Distortion were the first pedals that I bought, when I started got into pedals…and what a long strange ride it's been.
 
So... I own a Soleman and Neuro Hub. Lots’a real-estate now that I’m basically running just a C4... should I do the DA Micro and gHost cable ? Or are there advantages to the Soleman / Hub combo I am overlooking ?

TIA
If all your using is the c4 and have no plans to pick up additional SA gear, the one real advantage hub has is essentially doubling your presets (128 on c4, and other 128 on hub). That’s about it. The micro ghost would allow you to send PC messages to the c4, meaning no messing around with cc104/104 required, where you have to use the hub presets to use PC messaging.

If you already have the hub, I’d say stick with it and just save presets to Hub so you can use scene mode and setlist mode to recall presets rather than messing with CC messages. I wouldn’t say you gaining anything by switching to the micro ghost, but your not really loosing much either.

Can you name presets on the DMC ghost? Or is it just numbers?
I’ve got a Soleman and I like that I can name my presets (although only 3 letters so you have to get creative) but the panel’s name can be much longer.
Kinda funny that my hub is just running my C4 and Aftershock now. Had a MWBD and Manta for a while but took them off once I got the C4 & AS dialed in. Room for whatever is coming down the pipe from SA though!
 
The micro gHost is a straight up host, not a controller. It doesn’t have that kind of programmability. I have a gHost coming since I also have a controller that prefers PC and the Hub doesn’t do that.

Though I will say that CC to trigger patches isn’t really very hard, so...

If your hardware count is a issue, a DMC that has presets and scrolling along with USB MIDI that controls your C4 and other MIDI pedals would be a minimum. If you’re using the Solemon for more complex stuff, you’re probably where you want to be, Mal.

The gHost will probably fit under a board comfortably too.

If c4 is all your using, once the firmware upgrade is there you can store straight to the hub and regain PC capability. But I get how that’s a pain now.

Hub can also fit under the board, go ahead, ask me how I know :D

So today I started going through all the community patches to leverage the swarm intelligence (:)). I worked my way from page 19 through to page 13 and noticed that they're a) getting better and better (for my preferences) and b) …man, there's a whole lot of awesome sounds there! When I'm done with this first round of saving my favorites, there'll definitely will be more than enough to keep me busy for a while. This pedal is a hobby in itself.

This post made me very happy :)

I used my Board at Church this morning, and my DMC Micro was working perfectly for preset scrolling on the C4. Got to band practice this afternoon and an E 1 message popped up on the DMC, and it was not working at all with the C4. Any thoughts before I email DA?
Other than checking your connections and a power cycle I got nuttin'. DA is gonna be your pappa.
