Source Audio Hot Hand Phaser/Flanger with AC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sure can make some strange sounds come out of your amp with the Ring!The guitar effects [also works for bass, & keyboard if it has phono plug output] are modified by your strumming hand motion, and adjustable by 3 knobs controlling level of Phaser or Flanger, & controlling Depth & also Speed, allowing dozens of different sounds for rhythm and lead. The Hot Hand can be adjusted from barely noticeable to intense! Mostly I play the notes and chords enjoying Ring effects as part of very lively background background; and when a note really cries for emphasis vibration, nothing beats the Ring. I like that I can modify the sound of fretting alone with the Ring.
I was drawn to this unit from hearing it used on YouTube - search for Hot Hand to see why!
You can shift from 1 to 4 preset effects pre-set &/or modified by you by sequentially stomping on the sturdy box, to fit different effects to your song where they fit. I like that the device uses high quality Analog Device chip, sister chip to some of the best computer sound cards. The unit came with 2 Rings, an AC power supply, and 4 AA batteries that I haven't had to use yet, packed in a carry case that looks like it should be carrying a thin Makita. Very easy to use.

All in all a very nice modulator that keeps a guitar session going longer than anticipated as I chase the rhythms.

Source Audio Soundblox Pro Multiwave Bass Distortion Effects Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm giving this 5-stars YET I ended up returning it. In the final analysis, an amazing pedal but it just wasn't a fit for me and my style. That said, many players will find this a welcome addition to their pedalboard for home, gigs and the studio.
Source has given us bass players a truly novel pedal. Well thought out and executed. Quite honestly, it is unlike every other distortion pedal for bass. Really. It has the ability to produce an incredibly wide range of sounds and tones like no other single pedal. Here is my bottom-line...
- Most importantly, know upfront that if you are looking for "traditional" OD, boost and/or fuzz capabilities this pedal doesn't go there. It doesn't replace those pedals.
- It's real strength - and what it excels at - is in producing a very wide-array of synth-like tones. I've NEVER heard anything like it. Truly amazing range. You won't believe what you will hear. Sounds you've never imagined in your wildest dreams. And I might add...Very, VERY funky! Could potentially replace envelope filters and the like that you may be using.
- The ability to seamlessly morph from one sound setting to another (pro model only via an expression pedal) is incredible.
- Pick playing just doesn't do the pedal justice. This is a big one...Sounds much, much better if you are primarily a finger-style or slap player rather than a pick player like me. The pedal really shines and is at its best when you play finger/slap style. Pick playing seems to mute and alter the intended sound dynamics - for me, in a negative way. Not sure why this occurs.
- I've never seen a pedal with so many ways to adjust and fine-tune every setting - especially on the pro model. The settings are very sensitive and you can really tailor every setting to suit you, your bass, your amp and your style - and then save it to one of 6 locations.
- Made just for bass. Their proprietary technology really works as promised. It does an amazing job of handling and not losing any bass tone. You can readily hear each string (individually and in chords) even when highly distorted. Far from the usual undifferentiated, muddy mess of sound that most distortion pedal produce.
All in all, Source offers the bass player a pedal like no other. In a world of me-too products they have broken the mold and the rules. But, you need to determine if the sounds it produces are a fit with your style and musical tastes. Only you can do that. I suggest you go to their site - sourceaudio - and check out their sound sample videos and audios, which are very well-done incidentally.
As always.....YMMV.........

The Soundblox Multiwave Bass Distortion Pro inherits the power and clarity of the original Soundblox Multiwave Distortion and adapts it to the unique frequency range of the bass guitar. Bassists can effectively combine complex chords and intervals with distorted tones - multi band processing eliminates the mush and allows each note to ring clear and true. The pedal also features single band processing for more traditional distortion sounds. It's the perfect pedal for both the studio and stage.
