Follow-up question: in general, and in particular with the Hub, if I ask a MIDI device to "receive" on a certain channel, it will pass through all channels if the output mode is "Thru," correct?
I believe so, yes.

Same manual, pages 3 and 4:

MIDI Out Mode
Configures the function of the MIDI OUT hardware connector on the hub. In MIDI Thru mode, it sends out copies of whatever MIDI messages are received on its MIDI IN connector. In HH and Exp Out mode, it sends out continuous controller (CC) MIDI messages corresponding to a Hot Hand and expression pedal connected on its SENSOR IN and EXP IN ports, respectively.
 
Ok, so I am midi idiot, however the hub with the hub manager has made saving my presets so easy. It works like magic. I hooked up all the pedals to the hub, the hub to the computer via usb and hooked up a one control gecko to the hub via midi cable. So I am fiddling around with trying to save the scenes to the gecko but they just magically appeared in the gecko without saving anything except in the hub manager. Can someone explain how this box of magic works? Anyway pretty easy and I am really happy with the way my board turned out. Pictures soon.
 
The presets are saved to the hub. They are stored to be 'recalled' by a certain midi patch change message. The gecko sends that info, the hub gets it and makes the magic happen. You could effectively switch the gecko to another controller and all the presets would still be the same.
 
I'm sitting here contemplating my board in class, and am now convinced that a SB2 delay would be the final straw for me to buy a Hub, controller, and really make the board a killer one. Patch bays, custom cables (more than I have), the whole nine yards.

The toughest part to imagine is what color you guys would use for the label sticker.......

Ha! I've wondered this too. If you ignore non-SB2 pedals, red, yellow, black, and darker blue (royal or navy) are obvious colors that are still available...
 
Seriously though, I would so go for an octave, a delay, and a synth. I'd buy a bigger board. I would even break down and get a multiwave. You hear that SA? You basically have built-in sales at this point.

It's a win-win. Ignoring all the R&D, product testing, time, money, projected sales, market conditions, and resources needed to make these, you have to admit, a true no-brainer. :) I can almost guarantee that you'll sell at least one of each :)
 
We gave the delay a name today. :)
Note that it needs to be stereo and the control surface needs to be different, so it is more complicated than just using the SB2 design. We will show something at NAMM.

(1) What what what? An SB3?
(2) Perfect, now you have time to come back to the synth. :D:D:D
