Multiwave Distortion Pro - sneak peak!
Thursday, November 13, 2008
Posted in: Gear Reviews News
It's no news to us at Source Audio that our Multiwave Distortion unit has caused such a commotion in the guitar community - we are just like most guitarists - we can't get enough of great overdrive sounds!
And, with that in mind, we are proud to say that our new Multiwave Pro will give you everything that you have heard in the Multiwave, and MORE.
We've added both eq and clean boost capabilities, as well as storage capacity for 6 different preset sounds! That's like having 6 seperate great sounding overdrive/distortion units at your immediate disposal - and if you have played with our current Multiwave, you know how great it will be to store and recall 6 of your favorite tones - from a clean boost, to classic overdrive tones with scooped mids (for ultra-metal mayhem) or a mid-boost "frown" (for Santana or Brian May sounds), all the way to octave and synth-like sounds.
That's the only element that I wanted on the original Multiwave, and soon you'll get it on the Multiwave Pro, with extra sound-sculpting features. The original had so many great tones I would not want to change the settings - for fear of losing them. With the Pro, you'll just select "save" and recall it whenever you want.
It's no surprise that Premier Guitar awarded the Multiwave a Product of the Year!
Personally, I can't wait.

Correction. I meant to say, the expression pedal should be able to be programmed to control one of more of the parameters I was describing in numbers 2 and 3.

I don’t know how far into the development and/or production of the Multiwave Pro but, I have an idea/suggestion for an additional feature. This is something I’ve been wanting specifically for the Mutilwave but, do not have the know-how to do it myself. Ok, here goes:
1) Add a built in expression pedal or expression pedal input.
2) The expression pedal should be able to control parameters such as Gain, Sustain, and Output(volume basically).
3) This is the big one. The expression pedal should also be able to switch/blend two different presets. For example: Heel-Down = Preset One, Toe-down = Preset Two. Everything in between is the swell/blend of the two sounds until it reaches the pure sound of one preset at either end (heel- or tow-down).
I can do this with my current Multi Effect Pedal (a Zoom G9.2tt) but, only with the internal distortion patches. I cannot do this with a few Multiwaves plugged into the external loop. These patches are fine but, they do not offer the clarity and uniqueness of the Multiwave. This is why I am sharing with you, what I feel, is one of my best ideas.
