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

Come to think of it, does anyone know if the Ultrawave has a clean blend with a lowpass on it like the Aftershock?
Kinda, you can set a HPF on one channel, and a LPF on the other, running the LPF side clean. The nice part is you can then merge them into one output, or have them go out separate outputs and then to other pedals (and later merge them back with something like the EQ2).

Oh no, it’s like my analog crossover/loop blenders only programmable. :eek:

OK, sorcerers, I have another stupid question (don’t worry, there will be more)…

The wife asked what I’d like for my birthday this year, and of course it’s a pedal, she gave me a budget of $300.

So, here’s the question(s), I see some of you have an After Shock or an Ultrawave, some of you even have both.

I get that the UW does a LOT of stuff besides just dirt, the multiband options alone make it worth the price of admission (IMHO), not to mention the other stuff it can do like Comps, Trems etc…

So,

Those that have just the Ultrawave (and had the AS), does the UW do everything the AS did for you? Anything you miss?

Those with BOTH, what does the AS do for you, that the UW just doesn’t?


Either way I’m keeping my After Shock, I’ve got a few really good patches dialed in, and those patched alone are why it’s going to stay with me.


Thanks!

What’s currently on your board?

Pic below...

I'm fairly satisfied with the Chorus, Reverb, Delay & Phase in the MS-3, so I'm good there.
The Blower is going nowhere, neither is the Comp.
The BDDI has been on my board in some version for as long as I can remember, so it's just part of my tone.
The Sub n Up is meh...if SA had a clean poly octave up in any of their pedals, I'd be all over it (edit, I just did some reading of the C4 manual, looks like polyphonic octave up is in there!...wish I knew that before I bought the Spectrum)...Probably putting my Pitchfork back on the board...for now.

Going to be adding an EQ2 for sure at some point, but I'm torn between the UW or the C4...I feel like I'll use more of what's in the UW vs the C4.

After an impulse buy...a Nemesis is now on my board. It looks like I might need to do a post of wood work to make everything neat again. Now up to Midi Ch 12.
I'm liking this pedal a lot, I've only had it a few hours and I can't get over how analogue it sounds. I'm not sure it'll replace my H9, but I'm liking it a lot.
Hmmm red knobs I think...heading over to Amazon....
My SA Lunar is relegated to a sweet space in the "undercroft".

Someone jog my memory on this...

Can the big box One Series (especially the Nemesis) receive MIDI over USB in the same (or similar) way to the C4 and Ultrawave?
 
follow this video, should get you a pretty good setup for getting the most out of everything. I’d use the neuro hub for P mode only, and just use the “d.c.” option for spectrum and ultrawave when building your presets. But then you’d have scroll banks for the ultrawave and spectrum separate from hub scenes. This could potentially make it easier to make hub scenes too if your not wanting to use the editor.



So I updated the DMC Micro, have the hub and assigned the UW and C4 to DevB and DevC but the program change only changes the scenes on the hub. No response when I switch to the other devices. I'm sure I'm screwing something simple up.

Did you assign them to channels 2 and 3 in the editor?
