Yes I understand how it works now. I was just incorrectly assuming - based on how I've been thinking about how I want to use the pedals - that the Hub saves more data than it does. If it included the presets you'd not need a bigger controller or do any tap dancing between scenes; just recall a scene and then use the pedals as if you didn't have MIDI. Maybe something to consider for Hub v.2. :)

I agree too that it would be great if the scene sent to the pedals also set the presets. One reason is you can morph between presets with the expression pedal. Far as I know, you cannot set a scene for this to change the sounds you want to morph between. You are stuck with morphing with what was the set preset.

Good discussion on the Hub. I'm seriously considering getting one but I don't think it'll do what I want.

I don't use my pedalboard as a "scene" but more like individual pedals. I'll only have one or two on at a time turning them on and off during a song. I was hoping the Hub could essentially load two different presets at a time into each pedal. I'd be able to turn those presets on and off at the pedal. And they'd stay in the pedal until I went to the Hub for a new scene where two new presets would be downloaded into the pedal.

I don't think it'll currently do this.

This is the comment from Jesse:
"The thought was, we put an option in the Hub Manager so that it sends an extra command for the SB2 pedal to take the scene info and write it to the individual pedal memory as well.
It would only be one preset at a time for now, not both. Both would take a little more work.

It definitely wasn’t overlooked. Just had to make a decision about which way I was going to do it.
But making it an option in the Hub Manager is a reasonable way to do it. Basically, I can just establish a global option that gets set in the Hub Hardware settings. Something like “save scene data to pedal preset memory”"

Gotta say guys, SA has been the most responsive company that posts on here. Whether for answering our questions, or responding to product requests. You guys even respond to our jokes!

I agree. I get the feeling that Roger would want to give in to ALL of our requests if he didn't have a life and a bottom line! :D

Cant that already be done by simply recalling a scene and then holding down a pedal footswitch for 5 seconds?

No, I don't think so. If the pedal is bypassed in the scene then hitting the preset switch will turn the pedal on with the stored preset from the pedal. If the pedal is active in the scene then the pedal will not store the preset unless you first make a change. And, even if it worked you'd have to repeat for each pedal.

Yeah, I was thinking your idea was a cool one and i was not even considering this case. This would make MIDI scenes a LOT more useful.

I like the way it is set up now. I have 10 one touch presets in my midi controller, so on top of that I can add a phaser, LPF, or whatever distortion I have saved in my OFD, that I can drop in at any time in any scene. But at the same time I can take it out AND change all my pedals with another single click.

My Line 6 M5 acts basically how you're describing. It changes effect type based on what MIDI PC I send to it along with the scene change for the SA Stuff. It definitely has it's benefits that way as well, so I see your point and the option to change the Hub will be nice for you and anyone else that wants it that way.

My SA pedal board is complete. Now I need some help getting it set up properly. I have a BEF Pro->OFD->Orbital->Dimension all plugged into a Hub. A Midi Mouse will be delivered today.

So, I've read all the manuals but, can't quite figure out how to get the Hub to talk to the BEF. I know that it is analog and that's ok. I just want to be able to have the scenes change the presets in the BEF as I use it a lot for EQ changes.

Thanks
