I need to start a peddle board lol. I keep telling him, dood you need to get some bass specific pedles out asap man! Where's my bass fuzz @?

I have also worked with Hugo. He is very helpful!

I am curious what bass specific pedals they could make. I have suggested through email a möbius type with Flanger, Chorus, Trem (strange but I like it) along with a octave up and down. I suppose they should also add filter and phaser as it seems a lot of bass players use them.

Sounds like you should just buy a Möbius and maybe a Micro Pog! I think the Möbius sounds great on bass, and I have one on the way finally!

I have a Möbius and love it. Wondering if a bass specific
One would even be better.
I've had a handful of bass-specific modulation pedals in the past, and feel like the Mobius compares quite favorably with most of them. Being able to run strings of internal FX would be a big plus though!

Yes, for sure multiple effects at once.
I do not want to put the Pog down as I only played one for a short period of time but I think Strymon may be able to tighten up the trail time and produce
a more acurate octavive up or down tone with processor speed. I enjoyed the organ electronic sound the Pog made but wanted a more simulated 8 or in guitars 12 string sound. Not sure if that makes much sense. Again, I just might not have given myself time to dial it in.

Just grabbed a timeline, I thought the el capistan was good! Holy crap this is just crazy!!

Man I'm really GASsing hard for one now that I have a Mobius. Getting those two in MIDI-synch with my synth is gonna be pure bliss!
If anyone has one they are looking to get rid of at a reasonable price hit me up!!!

@IngloriousOz, I just ord a mobius yesterday. Hopefully it'll be here by the weekend. Pretty stoked!! :D

Where is a sorta one stop shop that I can go to to learn all about this thing how to properly use it? Besides the manual of course.

Strymon has a great YouTube presence with lots of demo videos done by them. This is the chorus video for example. Menu to the right has most of the rest.

 
Also, I see some other forum guys talking about different versions of the mobius. Will I be able to upload things to mine to update it to the newer ver(s) to where it's just as good as the new new ones?

To my understanding the one I snagged is from 2015 so it's not like it's old. Just curious if that is what y'all strymon users do.
