It's wide open to how you wish to use the C4? Assume the C4 is the only SA pedal you currently have?
I would say 2 weeks is early days with the C4 potential, in terms of exploring the range of types of sounds and how tweaking the parameters affects the behaviour /character of the particular synth 'mode'.
I just have an SA expression pedal and an ultrawave. But I have other non SA pedals - reverb, delay, eq & comp, plus a Boss GT-1B processor. I don't know what other pedals you have?
The expression pedal is certainly worth considering, as so many functions can be assigned to it . You then have foot control, to tweak things on the go. It helped me initially, to get to understand how sounds can be manipulated - no stopping playing to turn a control knob or adjust software. Later I could enjoy swelling in the level of the assigned parameters, so the synth soubd coukd be more 'fluid' /interesting.
But as I said, depends what C4 sounds you want to utilise. It helped me to classify C4 presets into groups like pads, sub, envelopes, octaves, sequences, saw, & square leads, quirky, etc
You can consider what extra pedals might benefit those sounds, whether its compression, delay, EQ, etc.
Again, I dont know what you already have or your level of knowledge of effects.
A bigger step is getting into the midi control over multiple SA pedals, to link them for patches. Thats not something I've done yet, still considering how best it would work for what I'd want to do.
But plenty of guys here brimming with expertise on that area.
Keep enjoying the C4!
