Yes, its name is printed on there.

I'm not sure whether to be mad at or impressed by this response
Hahaha I love this. There's also words under each knob, and on the back of the box lol
Sign. Patience resumed.
Mad props to Quatsmacher for that reply. You could dehydrate a whole crate of apricots with that.

I would go with 280mA to be sure. The 200 might have been a mistake from when there was only 1 DSP in the box (as in when it was in the concept stage...).
Good morning!
I'm connecting the output of my SA Collider into a Rockboard MOD patchbay. Should I use TS cables to go from the Collider to the TRS pass-thru patchbay, or is there any reason to fabricate or hunt for TRS cables to make that connection.
Depending on the above, will I need a DI/Stereo DI or is the Collider putting out the same thing as a DI when connecting TRS?
Here's the patchbay:
RockBoard MOD 2 V2 All-in-One
SA Pedals
EQ2 --> S4 --> Atlas --> Collider
SA Pedal Connections
all pedals connected via dual TR connectors:

The outputs of the SA pedals are all TS mono except on Output 2 which daisy-chains input connection to the Neuro App through the R of the TRS if you use TRS cables through the whole chain. There would be no reason to sent this Neuro communication to your Rockboard hub. The SA pedals don't have balanced outputs AFAIK (part if what a DI does), so there is no reason to use a TRS cable at all apart from the situation I described above- the "R" part of the TRS would probably just be shorted to the "S" part when using output 1

Works fine for me. Make sure you have the latest app and pedal firmware. You will need to make sure your desktop is on the latest firmware in order to access the latest pedal firmware.
Has anyone tried the usb pass through on the Rockboard MOD 2? Everything else is working, but the USB isn't working yet...

To mirror @Quatschmacher- you can only get the newest pedal firmware via downloading the newest Neuro desktop app (an older app will show you are current on the pedal, but not actually have the current firmware). I'm guessing you just need to go on the SA site and download the newest desktop app to update your firmware
As Quatschmacher might say, this is a guitar pedal, you should read a newspaper if you're looking for the news.
Lol jk seemingly no updates since I asked a few days ago

Still working on it. We have a HUGE list of suggestions that came from many of you. Looking to address as much as possible.
I recently purchased an Aftershock, and I'm really upset I didn't get one sooner. Could have saved myself a lot of grief moving dirt pedals in and out of my home when all of them were in that nice little orange box the whole time.
I have one slot on my board to fill and I'm interested in opinions. Setup is tuner>octave>aftershock>chorus>reverb. I've been using an OC-3 for the past 8 years and that pedal ins't going anywhere. However, the idea of a second octave/synth type of pedal is high on my list. I've owned pedals like the SYB-5 and some other synthy pedals and haven't found much use for them outside of making silly sounds in my room. All of the C4 demos I've heard show it doing pads and synth leads which are cool, but is it capable of doing more subtle effects? I find myself playing an assortment of gigs, and I like the idea of having three presets ready to go like I do with the Aftershock. What are some live applications you've found the C4 to be useful?

I've been a long term fan of the Aftershock. It's a hugely under rated pedal and it does SO much SO well.
The C4 is a curious device, it has layers of complexity that can be over whelming. However, it has an excellent (and easy to dial in) OC2 style analogue octaver. It is one of the best octaver pedals in existance (it has harmonies diatonics etc) with octave up and down options. However it can be complicated dialing in the harmoniser / diatonics.
It has a simple one knob chorus and trem built into it.
It also has the best array of filter options (the entire stack from the Spectrum) available in any pedal, which makes it one of the best filter pedals currently available.
This is before you dial in any of the 4 channel Synth options (processors) or the FM synth or the 16 part step sequencer.
It's jamb packed and totally loaded with features.
I was reading the descriptions of some of the downloadable presets and some look like they're right up my alley. When I played in church, I had access to a Moog Sub 37 and it sounded great but it was so boring playing key bass parts since I'm not a keyboardist by trade, so having some "Moog" style effects sounds like it would be nice to put in the bank. Pitch shifters in general have confused me even though I have a fundamental understanding of my circle of fifths/fourths so I wouldn't be interested in anything like that. I don't think a sequencer is something I'm really after either lol. Do you build your presets from scratch or do you use a template and adjust accordingly?
