The Soundblox Pro Bass Envelope Filter evolved from the hugely popular Soundblox BEF. The Soundblox Pro BEF features 22 different envelope filter effects including 2 and 4 Pole Low Pass, Single Peak, Triple Peak, Peak/Notch, as well as Phaser effect engines. Each filter effect can be further modified with a variety of control options including a 7-band equalizer, positive/negative filter sweeps, sweep range, attack and decay speed settings, or frequency range selection.
Choose from four different modulation sources including classic envelope filters, selectable LFO wave forms with tap tempo, a passive expression pedal and the Hot Hand motion sensing ring. Use an external expression pedal to modulate filters like in a standard wah pedal or to control a wide variety of parameters including sweep range, effect selection, LFO speed and more. Like all Pro Series pedals, the BEF Pro features three footswitches with two banks that hold six customizable presets

The Soundblox Pro Multiwave Distortion caters to the sonic explorer, those musicians searching for unheard sounds. The Multiwave offers 23 different distortion tones ranging from classic sounds to extremely unique and aggressive synth-like distortions. It features a 7-band graphic EQ, six programmable user presets, a MIDI input, and an expression pedal input that allows users to seamlessly morph from one preset to another. Flexibility, programmability and a bold sense of adventure make the Multiwave Distortion a powerful tool for both studio and stage.

The Multiwave Pro’s effect types are divided in two categories: Multi Band and Single Band processing. Each processing category is also broken into three more subcategories: Normal, Foldback, and Octave.

Multi Band processing is an extraordinarily unique procedure that splits the input signal into 10 distinct frequencies, distorts each one separately then recombines them. The process produces a hugely diverse set of tone possibilities. Multi-band Normal offers a crisp distortion with sturdy attack, and heightened note articulation. Multi-band Foldback produces wild synth-like distortions nasty enough to please extreme fuzz fanatics. Multi Band Octave creates octave-up distortion tones unlike any harmonizing box on the market today.

The Multiwave Pro also offers Single Band processing which employs a more conventional approach by applying distortion to the entire signal. The result is a slightly more traditional, but equally diverse and expressive set of guitar tones.
​
The onboard 7-band graphic equalizer with a plus or minus 12 dB adjustment range provides serious tone manipulation capabilities. Customized tones can be saved in the 6 programmable user presets, available for speedy recall via three footswitches. Connect an expression pedal to the Multiwave Pro and gradually morph from one preset to the next, or leave the pedal in the middle of two presets and create a one-of-a-kind hybrid tone. Also, the Pro includes a MIDI input allowing external access to presets and parameters.

Soundblox Guitar Envelope Filter

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.
