I thought I was just on that page, either I somehow was only looking at the straight ones or I didn't scroll down far enough. Either way, thanks...

Roots and fifths and a little extra.
Totes. I dialed in their example sounds and one of them is now preset button one. I think it was "groove is in the heart." Pretty close approximation to something I'd dialed in with the multiwave and bef before I flipped 'em. Since it's on the new album (soon!) I have to reproduce it...now I can.
Links are down. Will try later...That's more money - some of it spent on a new PT-3 and most of it spent on treating back injuries from carrying too much equipment
Anyway, I realized I probably did use the multiwave on a recording of one of my band's songs, uploaded it here - https://www.noisesingapore.com/theworks/musicdetail/id/56757/ it's not heavy though, it's more of a rock song than a metal song.
I can't remember exactly what settings I used... but if I'm not wrong, in the earlier part, I used an almost clean patch, just a slight bit of drive blended into the clean signal. At around 1:57, I kick in my actual distortion patch, it should be one of the multiband foldback settings iirc. It's blended about equal or slightly less than the clean. So you can hear there's some hair on the tone that fits in the space between the guitars but isn't obtrusive, I think it comes through clearer when the guitar solo kicks in. It's the kind of sound that you notice when it's gone. Of course, that also has to do with the fact that I blended it in subtly rather than making it full on.
If you want to hear in a heavier context, I can't remember if I recorded this one with the multiwave or the manta. I know originally I used the manta on it, but I think I might have re-recorded with the multiwave. But anyway, I think this is more representative of how I usually use the multiwave in a band context-

Again, I make the distortion subtle. When the guitars clear up in the chorus you can hear it clearer, especially in the last chorus at 3:20
The bass tracks here are all a few months old, I've come to understand how to use the pedal better recently.
Thanks for your feedback!
Just added an OFD to my SA lineup, making it OFD, Manta, Orbital and Hub.
I'm waiting for a Disaster Area footswitch and a Zoom MS-70CDR, then I'll start building a new board. Christmas is coming up and I'll have quite a few days off work, assembling this board and organizing patches is a nice little project. Fun, fun.

Did you get a chance to try the OFD yet?
Just a quick listen after updating the firmware. I think it will work very well for the low gain sounds I usually go for, and very surprisingly I really like the gated fuzz too.
The gated and octave fuzzes are fantastic! I'm a huge fan of this little box. I'm thinking of picking up a second one - one for fuzz and one for distortion

I was going to say...unless you're talking about stacking them, this seems like precisely the purpose for a Hub.
Interesting. Would like to hear how that would sound. Definitely lots of possibilities there. I wonder if the Hub allows for controlling more than one of the same SB2 pedal.
There are two types of tones I like use with my band as an always on tube distortion sound: So one OFD would give me that option. The second OFD would act as a mid-song tone change to heavier distortion/fuzz. We cover about 60 years of rock music across our set, and I like to get as close to the song's tone as possible.

But you haven't found a straight-up heavy/fuzz tone that works, you feel you need to stack it with a tube sound?
Interesting question. And, I'm not trying to be negative on the twin OFD idea. I am actually thinking about how cool it would be right now
Just very interested in any out of the box thinking.
For example, we play some RATM that, I feel, requires a clean tube breakup tone and then a switch to an octave fuzz, for example. We'll then go to 60's or 70's song with that same clean tube sound that has parts with a heavier fuzz on top. Two OFD's gives me the latitude to have four presets a tap away without having to remember which bank a particular setting is in and finding it with a midi foot switch.
