Yeah, that Flanger is my favorite effect by far. Your idea is good, i guess the rotary shifting sound will trigger the BEF in a more unusual way. I am intrigued and will post results.

Apart from that, a mild BEF setting right now is my no1 go-to lead sound, for the rare opportunity i need to play a lead sound. This pedal is just crazy. My suggestion to SA Team: sell workshops... those pedals have such an infinite amount of possibilities, i know I was (and still am) totally lost how to get that thing to so it's magic. Its a steep learning curve. Thats not the fault of the controls or the manual though. All the controls are influenced by one another and i still don't get why stuff happens the way it does, so basically i am twisting knobs more or less blindly until something starts to sound good and work from there.

I'd love to know more about the rules at work here, so i can reliably get the settings out of it that i want.

i am all for a video/written form. in-store is obviously the best experience, but you only reach a handfull of ppl. Still, this is and always will be the most direct and effective way. I am from germany, so not too many clinics would happen in my proximity i guess.

A good video can show so much, but i still love extensive, written down theory. The pedals are great, and i absolutely want to know how to handle them to their full capabilities. Right now they are like super cool toys, and sometimes i stumble upon a useful setting.

What i think is really useful as a starting point is the suggested settings the guys at Tech21 deliver for their Pedals. Really good starting points, and one can figure out what to do with the given settings to get to the desired sound. I guess it is not too easy to give these settings, since a lot depends on the basses output, playing style and so on. But still I'd like to have a bunch of suggested settings to experiment with.

The written stuff could include such settings and more in-depth coverage on what the knobs do and especially how they interact. The video should deliver the experience what the knobs do, especially how they interact, and what's possible with the pedal. You can describe sound all day, just one music file snippet or video will do the job better.

i guess for theory buffs like me this would be a welcome addition. Thanks for listening. :)

Not currently a Sourceror, but I have a question:

I wanna sound like a string section. How bout a multi-band chorus(wherein the split bands are modulated variously) as a stand alone or as part of a mod suite pedal?

Yeah I actually ended up changing two of my presets last night, one of which had been my go to envelope filter sound for several months. I don't think having it for close to a year now has me any closer to having a complete grasp of the sonic potential within. I've been doing a lot more use of the POG2 in front of it, as well as some far out synthy sounds from the MWBDP, and find unbelievable sonic richness. Then throwing all of that through the Moog Bass MuRF along with some Moog phasing and another pitchshifter with delay got me some fantastic sonic tapestries going. I guess the bottom line is I need to play a helluva lot more! :bassist::bassist::bassist::bassist:

What would work best for you...in-store clinics, youtube videos, written walk-throughs?

All of the above. It might also help you get into some other music stores, particularly down here in the south. Also, a compendium of sound samples and user submitted presets. I did mine on the MWBDP, but still have slacked on finishing it for the BEFP.

I'm sure this has been answered a million times, but it's impossible to search for "2"....

Any estimate on when the Soundblox 2 BEF will be coming out? I'm putting together a little board, and the other BEFs are too tall.

Sometime over the next 6-9 months, but not right away. The Hot Hand MIDI USB, the Multi-modulator, and the Guitar Filter Pro (guitar version of BEF Pro) are first.

I think a few Source Audio-provided sample settings —along with detailed explanations about each parameter and its contribution to the overall effect— could go a long way toward helping people learn how to tap into the vast array of possibilities afforded by pretty much any Source Audio pedal!

Some YouTube videos with tips on what settings work well and how to use all of the different features would definitely be helpful. The manual does a good job explaining things but having audio examples would really help. The current videos work well to demo the pedals, but something more in-depth would be great. The 6 presets that came on my BEF Pro were all really great, but once I tried creating my own settings I did run into some difficulty getting the right combination of all the various options and EQ settings - a video guide would be great! :)

Still loving the BEF Pro, and I'm sure I'll pick up the HH3 as soon as possible.

I have a question regarding one of the videos on YT:

At 04:03, you can read: "Hot Hand: assigned to frequency"

How can i assign my Hothand to anything? Right now i know how to put the pedal into HH mode, but that's about it.

If you ever do a delay pedal, please give it some way to input exact numbers of miliseconds. Imo, all delay pedals without both tap speed and exact entry of numbers are kinda worthless.

Good catch! It says "Hot Hand: assigned to frequency" to let the viewer know what the Hot Hand is doing by default. It's really just informative rather than instructional.
