Ultrawave Multiband Processor
Description
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.
