Yes I've noticed that. I guess I'm creating separate patches with different input gains for each bass?
I just use the same patches even though I will use different basses for gigs. Tends to work out alright for me personally. Funnily enough my passive NR t bird is hotter than my active basses I use so it's not even a case of whether it's active or passive that makes a difference really.
 
Very room and mic dependent, yes. If you have a good sound person they will ring you out if you're having issues. But that's a luxury I've not always had haha.

However, it's usually lower frequencies that are most problematic with a DB. An aggressive high-pass set at 40 Hz like you currently have is a good start, but bumping that up to 50 or 60 might be even better. Those lowest frequencies are not projected as well by the bass' body acoustically and may be overrepresented in a pickup signal, so cutting them may not hurt your sound or your presence in the mix. Worth experimenting with at least.
Thanks, this is all helpful. I'll play with increasing that HPF.

Im thinking about getting a Midi Mouse to use with the Hub. If I wanted to setup an expression pedal for swells where would I hook it up to? The Hub? Directly to the Nemesis? Do I need a Midi pedal with more functions?
You can run the expression pedal into the HUB and use the TRRS connections off the HUB to the Nemesis.

I believe that you could also run the Midi control device into the 5 DIN Midi IN on the Nemesis, and if you had the SA Dual Expression Pedal, then use the provided TRRS cable into the control port for expression control, too. There is a TRS 1/4" EXPRESSION PEDAL in on the Nemesis, as well.

If you are only using one (1) midi controlled SA pedal the HUB may be an extra that you don't really need if considering PRESETS on the Nemesis?

Limited information produces less accurate answers.

Did I miss something?
 
I was just thinking also...you could possibly do this in the (4) PRESETS, as well.

Preset #1 = Channel ONE

Preset #2 = Channel TWO

In each Preset, mute the other channel

Scroll the presets to get to the one needed for electric Bass and Upright Bass?

I still think the one stomp on the SA Tap Tempo Switch to do it would be easier, but $39.99 more.

Ho, Ho, Ho...🎅🏼

How to route to EQ2 to use as an A/B box.

With help from @phatbottombass and @Gibs210 I figured out how to route the EQ2 as an A/B/Mute box. I've attached pics of the settings. Basically, the idea is that you use three of your preset slots. Preset #1 can be for Bass 1, preset #2 can be a mute, preset #3 can be for Bass 2. (In my case bass 1 is an electric, bass 2 is an upright). Using the footswitch choose which input you need; Bass 1, Mute Both, Bass 2.

1) Preset Settings for "Input 1 on /Mute Input 2"
Set "Split" to 'Channel 1' (middle of the screen, left).
Set "I/O Routing" to 'Stereo Input /Stereo Output'. Under 'Invert Channel Phase' select 'Channel 2' and 'Ch 2 Mute' (they turn green when activated).

2) Preset Settings for "Input 2 on /Mute Input 1"
Reverse these to play through Input 2 and mute Input 1.

3) Preset Settings to Mute both
Set "I/O Routing" to mute both Channels.

See the attached pics for clarity. They don't have any actual EQ settings. I will try to post these to the Neuro Community presets. I realize this may be basic for some here, but it wasn't for me!

I have my Ultrawave Bass connected to the MIDI out from my HX One via an SA168, but I’d like to simplify the connection a bit: right now it’s a regular 5 pin MIDI DIN cable into the supplied DIN to TRS cable. I’d like to just use a male DIN to TRS cable directly from the HX One, but I don’t know if that would work or which standard (A or B?) I need to get. This would reduce a lot of unnecessary cabling on my board.

Also, would this same cable work if connected to the MIDI through jack on the SA168 to the MIDI in to the HX One? I.e., if my MIDI controller plugged into the stock cable plugged into the MIDI in on the SA168, then the MIDI through port to the HX One?

It’s unlikely that I would also put my aftershock on my board with the UW or want to control my NUX Melvin Lee Davis via MIDI, but I don’t want to rule it out, either, so I am just interested to understand my routing options.

The SA 168 midi adapter goes TRS IN to TRRS OUT & Midi THRU TRS. The UW must use the TRRS connections. The SA 168 can connect directly to your 5 DIN Midi control device. The Midi Thru 1/8" TRS is designed to daisy chain to another SA 168 for another SA pedal, but can be used to connect to any other Midi devices with the appropriate adapter cabeling.

How you want to connect the Midi beyond the must use TRRS to the UW is up to you...

I understand the TRRS part to the SA pedal, my question is which MIDI TRS standard the SA168 needs?
