The LA Lady has a very flexible 5 band parametric with two sweepable mids with Q, and where the Bass & Treble have some shelf/LPF/HPF options. An input low-cut, and a clean high-cut.

The Atlas has both an 8-fixed-band graphic and a 3-band parametric, irritatingly, the manual doesn't mention whether the bass & treble are peak/notch or shelving. Either EQ can be placed before or after the compressor.

The Gemini also has a 5 band parametric with two sweepable mids with Q-- less configurable than the LA Lady, but still very useful.

So I really still have 3 very functional EQs. The EQ2 is wonderful and part of what I love about it is the overkill. I've used all 10 bands many times; but for my main gigs, I think I can leave it off.

So I was able to put my board together. I've had to make a couple compromises. I purchased a Collider and a Soleman. Somehow they were shipped to the wrong address never to be seen again. The seller refunded my money so alls well except. It was a killer deal and there's no way I'd be able to afford (responsibly) to buy them both again at the usual prices. So I had to shift. I bought a Dimension reverb and a Midi mouse and took my Nemesis off the shelf.

I was able to put everything together and everything is working well except the Hub isn't saving the Nemesis to my scenes.

Is there something I missed regarding the Nemesis and it's compatibility with the Hub?

In case it's important. I'm running bass>PEQ2>C4>Nemesis >Dimension >Empress Compressor> eventually into a JDI. For now im running into a Fender Micro Mustang and headphones to test my setup quietly. I have the Hub connected to the PEQ2, Nemesis and Dimension. I have a Pigtronix Dual Expression pedal that I haven't incorporated yet.

Never hurts to just email SA tech support for help...

I have in the past. Just wanted to see if there was something I missed.

As Roger has mentioned, it easier for SA to troubleshoot problems through tech support where you may need to provide more than "I have the HUB, a Soundblox pedal and a full midi pedal" and it's not working... I'm guessing that you missed something... perhaps check manuals and some resources on the Internet?

Or email tech support...

Wow! Thanks for the helpful reply.

I did read all the manuals, I did spend hours watching videos. I provided my whole setup. After checking if I missed something obvious my plan was to contact tech support.

Thanks again.

As we have no pictures to see what "I have the HUB connected to the EQ2" looks like. I'll ask a question?

Are you using the TRRS cables off the HUB to ALL of the SA pedals you want the HUB to work with?

The scene's are a proprietary SA thingy and run with the (5) five TRRS cable connections.

Just thought I'd toss that bone out there just in case you had the 5 DIN Midi connection to the EQ2 and perhaps other Midi connections other than the TRRS requirements. :thumbsup:

Just FYI...may have been out there before, but...

I recently read a question about scrolling presets (6) on a Spectrum Intelligent Filter without midi?

I see that you could potentially do the following...

(1) Green
(4) Red
(2) Green
(5) Red
(3) Green
(6) Red

Using the footswitch to toggle between the Green/Red sets with the double click to change the sets with the TOGGLE SWITCH set Left/Center/Right.

It can get you two presets in a row without the need to bend down and do any switching or midi control. It also mentioned it doing it while the first preset is still operational.

Kinda cool... :cool:

"To EQ2 or not to EQ2..." that was the question. (Re-cap: chossing to fit either C4 or EQ2 on my smaller board).

Now I must confess my smaller board had a non-isolated, daisy chained 9V power. (I know, I know), so I should probably put a proper isolate power-supply on the board, so I will need the bigger board anyway.

I haven't been considering LATENCY in this process. I'm assuming I won't have all 6 SA pedals on at once. If I've got a pedal enabled, then the wet & dry will both have the latency applied, so there won't be a phase issue. Is that right?

I'm not aware of any...you can also select buffered OR true bypass on all of the pedals, as well.
