Product Detail
The Source Audio Ultrawave Multiband Audio Processor Pedal is a revolutionary device that unlocks the advanced potential of overdrive and tremolo, taking you into a brand - new sonic universe. At its heart lies multiband processing, a dynamic and multi - dimensional approach. This process divides the frequency spectrum of your guitar, bass, or synthesizer into multiple distinct frequency bands, each with its own adjustable parameters. For overdrive, it splits the incoming signal and offers separate drive and output level controls for each band. The result is a thick, rich distortion with loads of unique overtones and dynamic interaction. You can split the signal into 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, or 10 frequency bands and apply these band - splitting options to an exciting range of overdrive types, such as Tube, Diode, Foldback, Octave Up, Negative Flip Diode, and more. Plug it in, crank it up, and discover the wonders of multiband processing refined over a decade of experimentation. The Ultrawave also comes with an amazing collection of innovative sound - processing blocks. You can access these through the free Neuro Desktop Editor (for Mac or Windows) or the Neuro Mobile App (for iOS and Android). All presets created in these editors can be loaded directly to the pedal, saved to a personal cloud - based library, and shared in the Neuro Community. The dual - channel compressor block has studio - level controls and can be placed before or after the drive circuits. The Multiband Tremolo block allows individual control of each band's tremolo depth, rate, start time, and LFO wave shape. Changing the LFO wave shape and varying start times creates propulsive sounds like sequencer or arpeggiator effects. The LFO’s Ring Mod option gives a retro/futuristic industrial vibe. The Morph feature enables smooth transitions between super - charged tones using an external expression pedal, LFO, or envelope follower. It also has advanced stereo features for a wide stereo field, placing effects in different parts of the signal chain, or creating ping - pong tremolo effects. The Ultrawave and Ultrawave Bass pedals share the same Neuro App and Desktop Editor, allowing free sharing of presets. The Ultrawave has a “Sustain” knob, while the Ultrawave Bass has a “Mix” knob. The presets on the Ultrawave Bass are hand - crafted by a bass expert, more suitable for bass, while the Ultrawave presets focus on mid - range guitar frequencies. Key features include 37 band - splitting options, 44 distortion types, a dual - channel compressor/expander, a growing library of published presets, stereo ins and outs, detailed LFO controls, sound morphing, an 8 - band graphic equalizer, an adjustable noise gate, assignable knobs, external expression pedal control, 6 toggle - switch accessible presets, universal bypass, MIDI capabilities, a USB port for easy connection, and a compact, durable design.
Using the Source Audio Ultrawave Multiband Audio Processor Pedal is a breeze. First, plug your guitar, bass, or synthesizer into the pedal's input. Then, connect the pedal to an amplifier or audio interface using the output. You can start exploring the different overdrive and tremolo effects right away. For more advanced settings, use the Neuro Desktop Editor on your Mac or Windows computer, or the Neuro Mobile App on your iOS or Android device. Here, you can create and customize presets to your liking. When using the dual - channel compressor, you can adjust the input gain, threshold, ratio, attack, release, and output gain. Place it before or after the overdrive module according to your preference. For the Multiband Tremolo, play around with the depth, rate, start time, and LFO wave shape of each band to create unique sounds. The Morph feature is really cool. Connect an external expression pedal, LFO, or envelope follower to smoothly change between different tones. Remember to save your favorite presets to the cloud - based library so you can access them anytime. And don't forget to share them with the Neuro Community. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pedal clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you're using the USB port for updates or connection to your computer, make sure your software is up - to - date. And when choosing the bypass option, decide between analog buffered or relay - based True Bypass according to your setup and sound requirements. Have fun creating amazing music with your Ultrawave pedal!
