Is there anything else about the Flexbox that you can share? Like what do the buttons and LEDs do? What type of fx will be available? (Pitch glide hopefully)

Just waiting on the manuals and labels for the boxes. 1st or 2nd week of Feb. That thing sounds good. It was on both the guitar abd bass pedal boards at NAMM.
The concept alone sounds just up my alley so I cannot wait to see what is coming.Still a tad too early to be too specific. Sorry!!

We are giving it the usual SA treatment. It will be on the more "advanced" technical/flexible side rather than just simple downloads.
I discovered a little trick/glitch/easter egg type thing with the MWBD Pro and Classic Pro that may be useful to someone out there. I think it's safe, but SA can verify maybe.
Ok, so a while back someone wanted to know if you could save a morphed preset into a new preset. So you could blend a Tube Screamer and a RAT for a unique sound. I tested that out and it will actually copy both banks of that preset at once. Neat, but not what I found last night.
So, last night I was working on the rig and had moved things around and with the addition of an Expressionator I was going to run a TRS lead to my Classic Pro, but because of its position I have to use a 90 degree TRS adapter. Well, I only had the adapter plugged into the Classic pro without connecting it to the Expressionator or expression pedal and notice more clean blend on my FULL-ON face melting distortion than normal and looked down and the preset LED was orange like it was Morphing. I plugged an expression pedal in and that fixed it. So what I found is that if you want to blend a couple of FX models all you have to do is save them on opposite bank and plug in a TRS adapter conneced to nothing. It mid-morphs all presets on either bank in all directions and stays at a fixed level. Sure you can just use an expression pedal, but the adapter is like $3 and keeps it at a fixed level.
This works on both Multiwave Pro and Classic Pro - Just sharing what I found. I'm getting some intersting sounds with this, so I hope it's safe to do.

Actually you are feeding it a 60-50Hz signal, probably railing to a near square-wave. The SA pro pedals filters expression-signals at approx. 20Hz (As far as I remember back when I tested it with a MIDI LFO) so a 50-60Hz signal gets averaged to ... well just a DC in the middle; therefore the in-the-middle morph.
I am a bit bummed that I did not take Jesse up on his offer to make a firmware without the limit on the expression-signal, as the MWBDP sounds MAAAAAD when you use it with a fast-ringmod-ish LFO:

Sadly, no room for the Dimension Reverb.
Can you little explain your pedalboard. Please. How did you hook it up and tell all pedals you have. thanks
So do these adapters have a closed loop or something?

Nothing too fancy there...it starts on the first row and goes right to left and then up to the top row and right to left again.
It's pretty much your basic octave>dirt>filter>modulation idea. The Compressor was at the front as I was trying to see now it affected the octaver's tracking, but it's usually at the very end of the chain.
this is the 'at home' UI. live-iphone with 6 big preset buttons, basically those button on the bottom.
Very well thought. I was thinking something similar but also using the iPad live to associate presets to songs on a set list.

Hey gents,
A couple of quick questions for you all regarding the OFD. Those of you who have and use our Classic Distortion, please speak up!
Question #1: Which distortions on the effect wheel do you find the least useful for the bass?
Question #2: What distortion models are lacking on the Classic/OFD that are ESSENTIAL to include?
Thank you!
Will

I've already told Jesse this, but I'll put it out here as well:
Needs an SVT and/or B15 emulation and a Mammoth setting.
Most useless/ones that ampegish ones would replace settings are the tubescreamer, power stage and crunch tube ones.
oooo, that's a cool idea, put the song names and have them in order. Nice. And it's lit up.
