Gahhhhh the blue on the new box is soooo sexy.

Link?

That's awesome! Long live the C4!

Indeed. As mentioned many times. The C4 is among my most beloved pedals in recent memory, mainly because it plays such a central role in my (comparatively) mini board of 6 pedals (including the tuner). And it's great to return to the Neuro app on a regualr basis to find out what folks have been coming up with.

It is also interesting that Premier Guitar did not do a very deep and solid review of the C4. I think it boils down the fact that neither PG nor TPS was going to dive into the Mobile or the Desktop. These other pedals offer knob turning and that is what TPS looks for.
As I have noted, part of what I want to accomplish in the new pedal is a Source Audio experience can be really deep and flexible with 98.5% of the controls on the top level. That will not work on all products we do, but the new one really lent itself to going very light on the Neuro aspect. The C4, and I would argue any synth pedal that is really useful, needs to go deep on the Neuro front.

Get one (C4 and or a Spectrum) over to Zachary Rizer / Proton Lenny, he’ll deep dive and inspire a whole load of sales. He's the reason I came back to SA with the Aftershock.

Same colour as a SA Luna Phaser....or a Strymon Bigsky....in a box that looks a lot like a Ventris / Nemesis. A magic board drawing was shown and seems to hint at a Ventris / Nemesis / True Spring hybrid in one box. So read into that what you will. It could well be a Strymon 2 big box into 1 killer.

Has anyone tried recreating tones from the Bananana Matryoshka with the C4? I'd love to be able to cop that lil weirdo's sounds without the pain of those tiny knobs

There's one preset called "Matryoshka" in the cloud, but I'm not sure which mode it attempts to recreate or if it sounds like it.

Yep. I'm lined up hopefully for one when they become available tomorrow. My plan is to test it against the Timeline & the Atmosphere I have on my board and if I can tighten up things even further, I will.

 

[remcult]

I'm also jumping on the Meatbox bandwagon - anybody taken a stab at replicating it with the C4?

if it could do a Meatbox sub as well as everything else, I wouldn't be able to hold out any longer (it's already been a struggle)

awesome, thanks! Given how versatile the C4 appears to be, I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to get in the ballpark for many/most of the Bananana's sounds

Theres a pic on their instagram that shows a blue box with DELAY REVERB on the front. The cat has surely departed the bag?

...only so much. The dealer I talked with said "I don't have any details other than something is coming out around that date". I basically said "Cool, that's fine, just put me in that queue and tell me how much before the charge hits my checking account."

If @rsmith601 keeps crankin' out good stuff, I might be able to downsize my actual board (I have a Novo24 right now, though I have a Classic 2 sitting at home that I could put back into service). I'm also contemplating a H9-Max, though I love my Polytope.

I have a Micro gHost that should be delivered today or tomorrow, but depending...it may be easier to just roll with the hub layout now that DA has sorted CC patch commands. Though with a dual delay/verb that has 5-pin, it also might just be moot anyway.

The rest of my board (compressor, limiter, Mantic, Spark) will remain as they are.

Next up this week is a quick restructuring so that my expression cable isn't so awkward, and I'm going to setup a dedicated USB cable attached to the C4 (and possibly a neuro-app cable that can remain in place too).

Warning: This may seem petty

With my C4 on my board; to play with the pedal using the Desktop I have to carefully maneuver my pedals, unplug some pedals to move them, unplug the USB on my C4 to my DMC Micro, then figure out a way to plug the USB for the desktop into the unit, ensuring its not being bent from being close to other pedals, etc. It's a bit tedious and I'm mostly worried about eventually bending the USB slot.

Obviously I can plug into the App using Input 2, but this doesn't provide the same functionality I like about the Desktop. Especially that I cannot see what slots are used to put another patch in.

I can't be the only one with a tight board that is running into this issue.

Is it possible to run a split from the USB on the C4 so that I can have one going to the Micro and the other open for tweaking with the desktop when I want?

I’ve been out of touch ... doing a monster Business Intelligence project. Interesting stuff but my musical head needs new food...

Can anyone recommend a good Boogie on Reggae Woman patch ?

Didn't someone post a setup with a USB hub involved? I did go as far as buying some right-and-left angle Mini-B cables with standard USB connectors on the other end, then depending on what I decide to do I could just use an adapter on the other end and leave the cables coiled for use with computer or MIDI device.

That makes sense, I appreciate the suggestion!

What type of USB should I be looking for if purchasing right angles? Mini USB, right?

Mini B is the C4 connector. I ordered both angles because I'm never sure my setup won't move around. I also ordered 3 foot and 6 foot. 3 foot with my board on the floor doesn't give me much reach to put my laptop up on a table or whatever.

I'll probably coil it fairly tightly with a velcro cable tie that's attached to my pedal board then I can untie-release it for use at will.

Perfect! Ordered!

Thanks @BurningSkies

@gregmon79 I've got #37 but need to add the C4, and I've had a Hot Hand since I got the MWBDP, got one with the BEF Pro, too, but it never worked. Didn't really care as I didn't feel I needed two of them.

And put me in the camp hoping Tuesday's release is not a Ventris/Nemesis combo, as I am broke, and do not need such temptations!

Added to your list

How do i save a preset from the the NeuroHub into one or the other of the two presets of a Soundblox 2 pedal? When I have dialed in a nice setup with the NeuroHub Manager and simply press one of the preset switches on the pedal longer, as I would do to save settings, it loads the preset stored in the pedal.

 

[BurningSkies]

Also, @rsmith601 you've got your dealers locked down...I couldn't even weasel a guestimated price out of mine and I used all my feminine wiles to try.
