One of the core features of the Soundblox 2 line of effects is the MULTI-

FUNCTION Input (A). The MULTI-FUNCTION input is an intelligent control

input that accepts both digital and analog control signals. It replaces the

SENSOR input on previous Soundblox pedals. The MULTI-FUNCTION input

connects to wired or wireless Hot Hand accessories, the Source Audio

Expression Pedal, or the Source Audio Soundblox HUB. The Soundblox HUB

provides full MIDI I/O, a standard passive expression pedal input, a dedicated

Hot Hand input, and USB connectivity. The HUB can connect up to 5

Soundblox 2 pedals together to share control inputs or to save multi-pedal

presets via the Scene Saving functionality.

MIX (Green LED): Adjusts how much of the dry signal (no effect), wet

signal (full effect), or wet signal with “LoRETAIN”, are blended together.

The 12 o’clock position produces a 100% dry signal. As the knob is turned

clockwise from 12 o’clock, the wet signal gradually increases as the dry

signal decreases, until reaching a 100% wet signal at the knob’s

maximum position (fully clock-wise). As the knob is turned counter-

clockwise from the 12 o’clock position, the dry signal decreases as the

wet signal with “LoRETAIN” gradually increases, until reaching a 100%

wet signal with “LoRETAIN” at the knob’s minimum position (fully

counter-clockwise). “LoRETAIN” assures a solid low-end foundation,

“LoRETAIN” adds in a considerable amount of the lowest frequencies in

the dry signal, so the initial thump and bottom end is preserved even

after the filter effects are applied.

VOLUME (Red LED): Adjusts the output level of the pedal, ranging from

zero output to +6dB. Unity gain (equal volume to the bypass signal) is

found roughly at 12 o'clock. Changing RESONANCE or DRIVE may affect

the output volume.
