OVERVIEW

Thank you for purchasing the Soundblox Pro Multiwave Distortion. The Pro Multiwave Distortion produces some very unique distortion sounds and does not attempt to model or emulate any classic distortions. It offers some new and different distortions ranging from the more organic to synth-like and octave sounds. The Pro version offers extended features over the original Soundblox Multiwave Distortion such as 6 user presets selectable via 3 footswitches, a 7-band graphic equalizer, and much more. Like the other Soundblox effects pedals, the Pro

Multiwave Distortion is also “Hot Hand

Ready”.

The Quick Start guide will help you with the basics. For more in-depth information about the Pro Multiwave Distortion (MWD Pro), move on to the following sections.

The Soundblox Pro Multiwave Distortion provides some unique distortion sounds. In creating this effects pedal, we didn’t intend to duplicate, model, or emulate any existing types of distortion. The types of algorithms we use to create the distortion are quite different from the standard set, although with certain settings the result can sound similar.

One of the techniques used is to divide up the input guitar signal into multiple frequency bands. Each band is separately distorted, and then all are recombined. Because of this, you can achieve a lot of clarity between notes on chords with complex harmonies. It’s possible to leave several notes droning, while a melody is played on top. A normal distortion tends to reduce such playing to mush by compressing and distorting low and high notes together. Because of the multiple bands, it’s also possible to get several notes feeding back at the same time. The rst (labeled 8 (labeled

MULTI BAND) on the effect knob use band splitting while the last

SINGLE BAND) do not.

15 settings

The shapes of the distortion curves are also different from standard distortions. Normally, as the input signal voltage rises, the output voltage also rises, but begins to level off and nally pins (or clips) at a maximum value. With a foldback curve, for large enough values of the input, the output will begin to decrease. With more extreme amounts of foldback, after decreasing for a while, the output can begin to increase again. Maximum foldback has many regions where the output alternates between increasing and decreasing. These kinds of curves add a lot of high frequency content to the output. It also can provide a lot of control over the sound, based on the level of the input signal. With heavy foldback, chords containing only octaves and fths tend to sound best. Other intervals can cause some strange, although not necessarily undesirable sounds.

Using a special shape of the distortion curve, strong second harmonics can be created, sounding like a note an octave higher. Rolling off the guitar tone control will help maximize the octave impression. Complex chords don’t typically work well for octave settings. The result is very sensitive to the input signal level (as long as the

SUSTAIN and DRIVE

controls are not set too high) and can give a sort of auto-wah effect. Try dialing down the guitar volume for some interesting effects.

A conventional distortion effect tends to turn the guitar signal into square waves. Playing harder only makes the transition from negative clipping to positive clipping a little bit steeper. With our foldback and octave algorithms, a slightly higher input can have a radical effect on the shape of the output signal.

The

MWD Pro features the same type of algorithms as the original Mulit-

wave Distortion but adds user presets and a 7-band equalizer and many other control and parameter options.

SUSTAIN

There is a compressor before the distortion. The

SUSTAIN knob adjusts

the input gain of the compressor. The compression ratio and output volume can be adjusted as Backpage Parameters. Increasing the

SUSTAIN

control will result in a higher signal level going to the distortion, even when

DRIVE remains xed. Increasing the amount of compression on the

signal effectively creates more sustain.

The

DRIVE control adjusts the gain of the signal going into the distortion

section. You probably don’t want to max out both

SUSTAIN and DRIVE at

the same time, even for rock and roll.

MIX

The

MIX knob controls the balance between the full distortion signal and

a bypassed clean signal. Fully counterclockwise is just the clean signal and fully clockwise is only the distortion signal. The clean bypassed signal used in this feature is not affected by any of the controls or the equalizer. It’s the unaffected dry input signal. This control allows the blending of clean and distorted sounds for additional tonal possibilities.

OUTPUT

Adjusts the output level of the effect. This is useful for setting the level of the effect compared to the bypass signal. Note that because the effect compresses the signal, the dynamic range of the distorted signal will be less compared to the dry signal. This should be accounted for when setting levels.

CONTROLS: EQUALIZER

One of the key features of the Multiwave Pro is the 7-band graphic equalizer. The Equalizer is post distortion. Each band can be adjusted up or down in the display. The display shows varying brightness. The equalizer section has three controls:

will tend produce more dramatic effects.

CLEAN BOOST/EQ

This setting bypasses the Drive knob and will not provide any distortion. The Sustain, Mix, and Output knobs still apply although there is no compression. The most common use for this setting is to have a preset that gives you clean signal boost with some

EQ. The Sustain knob can also be

used for some different tonal options. This is also useful for when you want to morph from a clean sound to a distorted sound using an expression pedal. (See Morphing section.)

NORMAL 0-3

These four settings are best for maximum clarity of the individual notes in a chord. These distortion curves are similar to standard distortions.

FOLDBACK 4-9

The foldback of the distortion curve greatly increases the distortion components for these settings. The higher numbered effects have more foldback creating even more distortion. Big chords may not work well.

OCTAVE 10-14

Settings

10 and 11 give the purest octave effect. Settings 12 through 14

also have foldback and can get pretty strange. Unlike classic octave effects, chords can produce some useful results. Dial down the guitar volume knob for a different range of sounds.

SINGLE BAND

NORMAL 15-16

These two settings are fairly conventional distortion sounds.

FOLDBACK 17-19

With the entire guitar signal processed through a single foldback distortion curve, there will be much more intermodulation-type distortion produced. Long sustained notes and unison bends work great.

OCTAVE 20-22

20 is the purest single band octave effect, and 21 includes some foldback.

The expression input on the MWD Pro can be used to morph between two presets. More specically, you can morph from between banks from preset

1 to 4, 2 to 5, and 3 to 6. For example, let’s say preset 1 is saved as

a Multiband normal setting and preset By connecting a passive expression pedal, you can fade from the preset

4 is a Multiband octave setting.

Multiband normal sound into the octave effect by rocking the expression pedal from heel to toe. As you fade between the sounds, the color of the

LED above the footswitch will fade from green (bank A) to red (bank B) to

indicate where the morph is between the two presets.

In contrast to the

MIX control, the morphing is not a cross fade between

two sounds but rather a gradual shift between all of the individual parameters. So the middle of expression pedal range is truly an “inbetween” sound.

There are

276 possible pair combinations of sounds and some will sound

better than others. Some obvious applications are morphing from clean to distorted sounds, low drive settings to high drive settings, changes in volume, or between dramatically different sounds.

The expression pedal can be effectively inverted by pressing the

BANK button. This will toggle start and stop presets for the pedal. Keep

PRESET

in mind that adjusting knobs while using the expression pedal will only control the preset in the currently selected bank, independent of the expression pedal position. Also, while tweaking presets to get the desired pair of sounds for morphing, don’t forget to save before switching banks with the bank select button.

The expression pedal can also be used as a means of effectively switching between preset banks, allowing access to all

6 presets with

foot controls only.

The expression input is intended for use primarily with a passive expression pedal. It could potentially be used with a Control Voltage but the input voltage range is limited to before connecting any range (above

Expression pedals should have a three-conductor TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) plug. This type of plug is also referred to as a “stereo plug”. Most expression pedals are this type. The resistance value of the pedal is not important.

MIDI CONTROL

USE WITH HOT HAND

While the primary function of the MWD Pro is as a standalone effects pedal you also have the option of exploring some additional functions by plugging in a Hot Hand sensor. When a sensor is connected and enabled, it will control the amount of

DRIVE.The maximum amount of

drive you can get by moving the sensor is determined by the position of the

DRIVE knob.

The MWD Pro can optionally be controlled by an external MIDI controller such as the Hot Hand of the knob parameters as well as morphing can be controlled via

MIDI-Exp controller through the MIDI input. All

and can be used to daisy-chain multiple pedals together using the same Hot Hand sensor.

The Hot Hand ring contains a two axis accelerometer that responds to acceleration and is not based on any type of proximity to the guitar. By moving your hand or by changing the position of your hand you can modulate the effect. For a good description of Hot Hand Theory, download the Hot Hand Motion Controlled Wah Filters manual.

Backpage Parameters | 2120 | Use with Hot Hand

Here is the list of parameters that can be edited in Backpage mode:

Noise Gate (NG)

This sets the threshold of the noise gate. Lower values lower the threshold, and result in less gating action. The default value is set to what seems appropriate to the noise level in our box, which is rather low. You might want to raise the threshold to deal with other noise in your system. If you just don’t like gates, lower the threshold all the way to the bottom.

Hot Hand Gain (HG)

The gain or depth of the Hot Hand signals can be adjusted with this parameter. Increasing the value from the default will make Hot Hand have more effect with less motion. Decreasing the gain will do the opposite.

Hot Hand Smoothing (HS)

This controls the amount of smoothing (ltering) on the Hot Hand signals. Similar to the motion knobs on other Hot Hand products. Turning this up will result in more smoothing on the signal.

Hot Hand Axis (HA)

Controls the Hot Hand axis used. The default value of this parameter uses the X axis. Any other value will select the Y axis.

Hot Hand Range (HR)

Adjusts the overall range of the Hot Hand attenuation from a maximum of

36 dB to a minimum of 18 dB. The bottom default value is 36 dB, 18 dB

is the top.

Compressor Ratio (CR)

The default compressor ratio (the center row of the display) is

4:1. This

may be adjusted higher or lower. The output volume of the compressor is automatically adjusted along with the ratio to compensate for the reduced volume of higher compression ratios.

MIDI Channel (Effect Knob)

The label numbers around the effect knob correspond to

1 through 16. Channel 1 is the default. This is a global setting and not
