Ultrawave Multiband Processor: Official Demo 

Thanks for all the help with this video, Nathan. You totally crushed it with the opening track!

Yeah, thankfully they're pushing the sounds forward instead of being stuck in the past

You are correct, the bass and guitar versions are essentially the same pedal with a slightly different paint job. The bass version comes loaded with presets designed for bass, but yes they do work with the same Neuro Editor and it is possible to load presets from the guitar version of the Ultrawave into the bass version and vice-versa.

I might be able to answer this in more detail in the not-too-distant future, but based on the Neuro App options, they are pretty different. The Ultrawave's multiband distortion and trem options are advanced even among distortion and trem units, and there's two engines in the UW, whereas only 1 (distortion block, no bands) in the C4. There's also "morphing" (I dunno what that is yet), and some kind of "ring mod" option (the C4 offers a touch of FM synthesis which is like half a ring mod, but also in a very limited way). UW also includes a compressor. There's crossover in drive engines with the C4 and the Kingmaker fam, but even among these I think the UW has a couple the others don't, though I also think it only has most of the Kingmaker's. I have a C4 and an After Shock, and still wanted an UW, not just because I have a hard-on for multiband distortion (which is almost impossible to find elsewhere), but because it will always be able to serve some kind of function. All the One Series pedals can be used to split or sum signals, and this one can be a compressor on top of that (which is practically a must to have after filter or high feedback/resonance effects).

So if I'm understanding you correctly, yes, you can do a cross-over distortion. The Ultrawave has two channels and you can turn off frequency bands. So for example, you would be able to shut down all of the higher frequencies on one of the channels and send that to Output 1, then shut down all the lower frequencies on the other channel and send that to Output 2. Obviously both of those outputs can go to separate amps that are especially accommodating to specific high or low frequencies. Is that what you want to do?

Yes, all the sounds in the original Multiwave can be reached with the Ultrawave and Ultrawave Bass pedals. Basically those pedals were our starting point for the Ultrawave. After those sounds we added the multi-band tremolo and the LFO shaping and the adjustable compressor.

@@sourceaudioeffects Thanks a lot for the kind feedback. Could you tell me if you can stack it with other pedals with good results. Although the crazyness of the sound are apealing I also think this has a lot of potential used in subtles way with other pedals? I was also wondering if you think that available distortions on the pedal are also usable as standard distortions being on par with for exmaple LA Lady quality drives? Thanks.

Presets, paint and the name on one knob.

Yes, either pedal works with both bass and guitar, they just come with different factory presets, and the bass version has a mix knob instead of a sustain knob. But the knobs can be re-assigned using the neuro editor. You can load the guitar presets and bass presets on either. Pick the colour you like best, and whether you would prefer a dedicated sustain knob or a dedicated mix knob more.

@@andrewneehall5664 thanks for the information!

No, the tap switch can't be used to scroll through presets. It only does tap tempo for the tremolo. You can either use the Ultrawave with the Neuro Hub and a MIDI controller to move through presets. You can also use a DAW connected to the Ultrawave's USB port or a MIDI controller with USB host capabilities ( The DMC.micro from Disaster Area Designs is an example of a MIDI controller with USB host).

That sounds a bit more complicated of a setup than I'm after as a non-gigging musician. For now bending over to flick the preset switch will suffice.

@@abouc Ha. That works too. Remember you can save up to 128 presets in the pedal itself and access them the Neuro Desktop Editor or Neuro Mobile App. :-)

It also uses multi-band processing, which splits your guitar, bass, or synth signal into either 2, 3, 4, 8, or 10 individual frequency bands and allows you to control the drive level and output level of each of those bands individually. This video is more of a sound sampler - our tutorial video goes into far more detail on what this pedal can do.

@@sourceaudioeffects it's like 6 or 7 pedals in 1 - It's an incredible achievement 😎👍

Good attitude!
