Put simply: a multi-band processor. In detail, this means that frequency bands are split up here and can be tackled separately. That doesn't sound exciting at first, but the Source Audio Ultrawave has 37 splitting options. You can arrange the bands in different ways and separate pairs of 2 to 10. The result is a huge number of potential sounds with their own character. The signal chain with a classic touch allows compressors and expanders to be packed before or after the distorted signal and modulated afterwards. Here you have the option of using an LFO to control what works and, in addition to flanger and phaser-like sounds, you can also create tremolo sounds, for example. The frequency bands are correspondingly flexible. In addition, you can use the morphing function to create completely wacky sounds. Two parameter constellations can be superimposed here and controlled via LFO or envelope. Typical Source Audio –thinking outside the box. 

A few words about the connections - stereo outputs make sense, but two instrument inputs don't make the whole thing unexciting - being able to manipulate guitar and synth at the same time from the same LFO. I don't think that's available in pedal format. But the routing options don't stop there, the individual source audio devices can be merged together. If you use one input to send commands from the Neuro app, you can let them travel through the entire Source Audio signal chain. As already mentioned: EXP connection, MIDI and USB are included here. Well - if you know the C4 or the Nemesis, you know about the Neuro Editor. In my opinion, the coolest and clearest editor of this kind ever.
Incidentally, calibrating Source Audio with an app or editor is surprisingly easy and a lot of fun. One of the few in-house editors that justifies having a laptop next to the pedalboard. This is perhaps also the biggest problem of the Source Audio brand: despite all efforts to keep it simple, the applications are heavily dependent on the neuro app or the editor. And many musicians still like to avoid both.

A new generation of effects pedal - Source Audio did it again

Ultrawave Multiband Processor

What exactly does the Ultrawave Multiband Bass Processor do? Initially, the incoming bass signal is divided into different frequency bands. You can choose between 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 or 10 bands specially chosen for the bass. There are a total of 37 different options for combining different frequencies. In the next step, the different frequencies can be assigned different effects. On board are 44 different distortion/overdrive/fuzz effects, a dual-channel compressor, a multi-band tremolo and a graphic 8-band EQ. Everything is controlled via a Neuro Desktop Editor (Mac and Windows) or the mobile app (iOS and Android). The sounds are loaded onto the pedal via USB and can be called up there as presets and further processed with the controls.

To develop such a complex pedal requires a lot of know-how. The American company Source Audio, founded in 2005, has more than enough of them. Their innovative products have been setting the standards in the field of digital effects for years! It is not without reason that greats like David Gilmour, U2, David Bowie, John Mayer, Aerosmith, Phish, King Crimson, My Morning Jacket, The Cure and Victor Wooten trust the pedals of the Californians.

One reason for the company's success is definitely the willingness to work directly with the musicians. The Ultrawave Multiband Bass Processor was developed together with bassist Nathan Navarro , who is one of the most sought-after musicians in the prog rock scene and is also a big star on YouTube. The world of effects has long been his passion and his distinctive sounds are in demand around the world in the studio and on stage.

SOURCE AUDIO ULTRA WAVE BASS

Ultrawave Bass

Der Source Audio One Series Ultrawave Multiband Processor beginnt eine bahnbrechende Reise in das fortgeschrittene Potenzial von Overdrive- und Tremolo-Effekten und erkundet ein neues Universum von Klängen, die es so noch nie gegeben hat. Das Herzstück des Ultrawave ist ein dynamischer und mehrdimensionaler Ansatz, der als Multiband-Processing bezeichnet wird. Dieser Prozess teilt das Frequenzspektrum einer Gitarre, eines Basses oder eines Synthesizers in mehrere diskrete Frequenzbänder auf und stattet jedes Band mit einem eigenen Array einstellbarer Parameter aus. Für Overdrive- und Distortion-Effekte teilt der Ultrawave das eingehende Signal auf und bietet separate Regelmöglichkeiten für Drive und Output Level für jedes einzelne Band. Das Ergebnis ist eine satte und reichhaltige Verzerrung mit vielen einzigartigen Obertönen und einem dynamischen Zusammenspiel. Das breite Spektrum an Distortion- / Overdrive- / Fuzz-Effekten umfasst unter anderem Tube, Diode, Foldback, Octave Up, Negative Flip Diode und mehr. Der Ultrawave verfügt mit dem Neuro Desktop Editor (kostenlose Bearbeitungssoftware für Mac oder Windows) oder in der Neuro Mobile App (kostenlos für iOS und Android) über eine unglaubliche Sammlung innovativer Sound Processing Tools, mit denen sich die Klangbearbeitung in völlig neue Richtungen lenken lässt. Neben einem Dual Channel Kompressor / Expander, einem Multiband-Tremolo mit regelbaren Parametern für jedes Band und einem regelbaren LFO bietet das Pedal zusätzlich ein Sound Morphing Feature, das es Musikern ermöglicht, mit einem externen Expression Pedal, einem LFO oder einem Envelope-Follower stufenlos zwischen zwei Sounds zu wechseln. Mit dem True Stereo Setup lassen sich innovative Stereo-Effekte mit unterschiedlichen Signalen an beiden Ausgängen oder umwerfende Ping-Pong-Sounds erzeugen. Alternativ kann der Ultrawave so flexibel an zwei unterschiedlichen Stellen in Signalweg genutzt werden.

The Source Audio One Series Ultrawave Multiband Processor embarks on a pioneering journey into the advanced potential of overdrive and tremolo, exploring a brave new universe of sounds yet unheard. At the Ultrawave's core is a dynamic and multi-dimensional approach known as multiband processing. This process splits the frequency spectrum of a guitar, bass, or synthesizer into multiple, discrete frequency bands and equips each band with its own array of adjustable parameters. In the case of overdrive, the Ultrawave splits the incoming signal and provides separate drive and output level controls for each individual band. The result is a thick and rich distortion with loads of unique overtones and dynamic interplay. Split the signal into 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, or 10 frequency bands, and apply any of the band splitting options to an exciting collection of overdrive types, including Tube, Diode, Foldback (a method of distortion often heard in the world of synthesizers), Octave Up, Negative Flip Diode, and more. The Ultrawave also has an incredible companion collection of innovative sound processing blocks to take sound creation into vast new directions. These are found in the Neuro Desktop Editor (free editing software for Mac or Windows) or Neuro Mobile App (free for iOS and Android). All presets created in the Neuro editors can be loaded directly to the pedal, saved to a personal, cloud-based preset library, and published to the Neuro Community to be easily accessed by other Ultrawave owners. The dual channel compressor block includes studio level controls that can be placed before or after the drive circuits. The Multiband Tremolo block provides individual control of each band's tremolo depth, rate, and start time as well as its LFO wave shape. Changing the LFO wave shape and varying the tremolo start times of each frequency band creates fantastically propulsive sounds reminiscent of sequencer or arpeggiator effects. The LFO’s Ring Mod option creates waves of retro/futuristic industrialism. The Morph feature explores the marvelous potential of sound morphing, which allows musicians to smoothly transition from one supercharged tone to another with an external expression pedal, LFO, or envelope follower. The Ultrawave also has advanced stereo features that can send entirely different drive effects to each of the outputs for a wide stereo field, place the effect in two places in a signal chain, or generate mind-spinning, ping-pong tremolo effects. Plug in, turn up, and explore the wonders of multiband processing built on over a decade of refinement and experimentation.

Source Audio Ultrawave Multiband Processor - Review by Amazona [DE], [10-2021]

The Classic Pro features distortion effects that are re-creations of popular pedal and amplifier based distortions. We have chosen names for the
distortions that will be suggestive of the sounds you will get with all of
the controls in the central part of their range. We are not trying to imply
exact simulations of the various analog effects. Rather, this is a different
take on classic sounds based more upon evaluating the sounds by ear
and overall circuit function instead of attempting to do a mathematical
model or emulation (which, incidentally, we think is really not possible
for distortions). 

SOUNDBLOX CLASSIC DISTORTION USERS GUIDE

Soundblox Classic Distortion

Schalte den Vintage-Charme von natürlichem Federhalls und pulsierendem Tremolo an. Source Audio macht sich nicht von Standardreverb-Effektprozessoren abhängig, wie sie in vielen modernen Reverb-Pedalen zu finden sind. Sie meißeln jede ihrer Effekt-Engines selbst von hand und laden sie in ihren eine leistungsstarken 56-Bit-Sigma-DSP. Ihr zweiköpfiges Team aus den Ingenieuren Bob Chidlaw und Jesse Remigni saß jahrelang Stunde um Stunde daran, jede Nuance und Idiosynkrasie der Federhall- und Tremolo-Effekte einiger der kultigsten Gitarrenverstärker und Outboard-Geräte der Musikindustrie einzufangen. Das Ergebnis ist unbestreitbare Klangqualität mit großartiger Klangtiefe und Präzision.

Turn on to the vintage charm of natural spring reverb coupled with pulsing tremolo. Source Audio doesn't depend on the off-the-shelf reverb effects processors found in many modern reverb pedals, they handcraft every one of their proprietary effects engines and load them to high-powered, 56-bit Sigma DSP.  Their two man engineering team of Bob Chidlaw and Jesse Remignanti put years of collective man-hours into capturing every nuance and idiosyncrasy of the spring reverb and tremolo effects from some of the music gear industry’s most iconic guitar amps and outboard gear. The result is indisputable sound quality with magnificent tonal depth and precision.
