Yes that will all work. You will just need to convert that 1/4 TRS to the 1/8 TRS as @Gibs210 describes. We should probably have added a second TRRS port, but this was created before we had so many pedals like the C4 and Ultrawave!

Cool, thanks.
C4 arrives tomorrow hopefully. Dead excited.
Is it possible to operate CC via Ableton DAW? Would I need the hub? If so, I might explore this in time. Any tutorial vids that people recommend with Ableton? I can search but just wondered....

I’m not really familiar with ableton, if it’s able to send cc and pc messages as well midi clock, then all your midi bases are covered for C4. You would only need a usb cable to connect to the C4 and pc.

Is there a way, on the EQ2 to set the Limiter to Channel 2 only?

From what I've understood from the manual, You can either have both on, or Link together and the loudest signal source gets the priority. but you cant engage it separately like you can say, "Scale Q with gain"

no, I have never seen a TRRS Y cable for one, and the TRRS port is propriatary in its wiring in order to work with our expression pedal, hub, and tap switch. You could use the 1/4 in connections, but you’ll need to flip the tip and ring connections with a crossover cable, and the minimum and maximum values in the app for the expression functions will be reversed.

Looking for an expression pedal for a spectrum and ultrawave. What is the benefit of the source audio pedal vs let’s say a Dunlop. You mentioned that the trrs is proprietary so would I be losing functionality by going with a pedal from a different manufacturer? Thanks!

It’s just more of a headache to setup a third party expression pedal. Because of the special cabling and reversed controls. Also, we can’t always garuntee that it will work properly due to differences in components.

Quick update of my pedal board build. I got the couplers and it fits really well now. Waiting for the Rockboard flat MIDI cable and a bunch of mini USB connectors to connect everything to a hub underneath. I’m mounting a USB connector in the side panel to hook everything up at once. I also miss some Source Audio Daisy Chain cables that somehow was missing…

I haven’t really mounted anything yet, waiting for the cables and there’s a lot of cable managing before I’m done. But it sounds fantastic! Instead of programming and get my head around MIDI I just can’t stop playing around.

Spectrum question.
For a sub octave patch is there a way to set what is essentially an hpf on the effect while leaving the dry signal full range?

If so, what setting makes that happen?

My use case is to emulate what I used to do on an HX with the crossover split funtion.

on the HPF, if the slope is super steep I would set it about 50 or just below A on the E string. If it is more shallow then above that to get the same effect.

Thanks!

Have you tried the Lo-Retain knob?

@Quatschmacher No Peter, I was being lazy... I'll give that a shot. I wonder if there is any way to specify the frequency... other than by ear I mean

Another way would be to run a patch cable from output 2 to input 2, send input 1 to the octaver on processor 1 and send that to output 2 only. Then have processor 2 have a highpass filter enabled and use input 2 as the source. Route this out to output 1 only. You could then either use the dry/wet mix to mix in dry (though that might cause issues with the loop), or you can use a free voice and route the dry input signal directly to processor 2 using the “direct output” setting.

This is as compact as my setup has ever been and it might just be it. UW acting as preamp/drive, 4ch-mixer for synth’s. I might change that out for the eq2 instead, as it makes anything sound crispier through it. Oh and I put knobs from a tonehammer on the UW.

 

[TheLopp]

Almost done! This is definitely the tightest and most complicated pedal board build I’ve ever done. And I’m really proud and satisfied how it turned out.

Still missing 2 Source Audio TRRS cables but they are on the way. And I haven’t solved a flat enough XLR cable, I think I have to build one myself. There’s room for a USB cable to connect the CabZone X as well but I’m not sure I’m gonna use it that much.

Still kind of a mess underneath but that’s how I am, tidy on the outside at least.

So much to like here, including that Sandberg!! What’s the USB box underneath do, please?

I connected all the pedals, the Neuro hub and the Disaster Area midi pedal to the hub so that I only need 1 cable to the computer. It’s a connection in the side panel. There’s also a phone out and an aux in, in the panel as well, from the CabZone X. I just need to solder the cables first.

The original question was Can I set an hpf on the Spectrum?

A combination of Lo-retain and The Wet/Dry blend got me where I wanted to be. Very little effect down deep and coming on strong around A on the E string. Cleans up the murk of a sub-octave nicely.

Thanks!

Running the hub, aftershock, C4, Gemini , Soleman. When I select a patch utilizing the Aftershock it stays on? The small green light at the top comes on and I have to manually hit the button to disengage it. I know it's probably a setting but stumped.

 

[jaysbass2002]

Ok external control indicator. None of the other pedals have the light on? Hmm

Does the current preset have external control enabled?
