Building on almost 15 years of filter pedal technology and know-how, Spectrum is the culmination of Source Audio's finest envelope sounds and best thinking on how to easily incorporate those sounds into rigs of all types. The pedal not only features finely crafted envelope filter effects inspired by some of the most iconic and sought-after effects pedals on the market, it also includes buzzing, synth-like octave/distortion/filter effects. The pedal is a cleverly integrated, all-in-one funk/psych/electronic/jam machine. Whether you want to easily plug and play with its six carefully crafted factory sounds, browse the ever-growing Neuro library for additional sounds created by Source Audio and other Spectrum owners, or use the Neuro’s deep sound editing tools to create your own highly personalized presets, this filter pedal will satisfy the needs of any guitar, bass, keyboard, horn, or (insert your instrument here) player.
Big thanks the following musicians for playing on this demo:
Nathan Navarro on bass: / unoriginalson
Lyle Brewer on most of the guitars: / lylebrewermusic
Paul Candiore on the super-cool Harmony Rocket.
If you're watching this and thinking about getting one,DO IT. The pedal is worth the price out of the box with the factory presets. The ability to load user presets from the website makes it a steal. Plug it into the editing software and you'l understand that it is indeed the ULTIMATE FILTER (and I have owned almost all of the legendary envelope filters)
I really need to stop watching Source Audio Demo Videos... Now I want to buy this pedal... Damnit!!!
My word! I feel a stirring in my loins.
Something's cooking.
Funky as hell. Love it.
Nice lucky cat shirt! This looks like a fantastic pedal; I have a C4 but am considering this too now.
Hey, It's Lyle Brewer on the guitar! Awesome! :)
It's the sound of the 1970's in pedal form!
These dudes @SA have amazing FX pedals (( Vertigo, Ventris, Nemesis )) very advanced stuffs
They used to work at Kurzweil…!
I've been on the hunt to get what I believe to be 1 of if not the greatest guitar tone and that's funkadelics "into you" the way it kicks off at first before owned any of the effects to try and copy it j assumed it was a filter but now I think he used a Octavia cause it has such a lush but distorted plus the octave ohh mu much for me its bloody brilliant source audio your amazing once I can have 1 of these the world will be mine and you will know my name is the lord when I lay my funk upon theee
Smokes!!! This pedal is too fly!
I have been looking for something that could do the envelope stuff but also some LPF ramps like the Chase Bliss Condor. This is it. Plus the octave and fuzz stuff. This is a great pedal.
If can be as simple or as complex as you want it. I just got one last week and I’ve just been using the presets and they work so well.
The biggest thing for me though, is that it works well with different guitars and amps. Every other envelope filter I’ve used works with one of my guitars but not the other. This sounds great in every setup I’ve used so far. They’re at the Strymon level of quality, ease of use, and options in my opinion.
Gotta have it!
So about 8 months in and I love this pedal. Been using the factory presets and a few from the online community(I have noticed a few of these will no longer load onto my pedal. Obviously not a hardware issue,as others load fine)
Anyway,I am finally going to dive into creating my own presets. Been avoiding this as I can see myself forgetting to actually play my bass and geeking out on the editor. If no one hears from me in a few months send some Reeces cups and tell my mom I love her😁
So glad you dig the Spectrum. Odd that you're not able to load certain presets. Can you tell me the names of the presets you're not able to load? Also, are you loading presets with the Neuro Mobile App or the Neuro Desktop Editor?
@@sourceaudioeffects is this a bit like the boss ps6 but filter will it speak ?
@@joobchrismac8706 No, the Spectrum doesn't do harmonization effects. It will do octave effects (2 octaves down and one octave up), but that is the only interval. There are, however, harmonization effects available in the C4 Synth from Source Audio.
@@jeffreymcalack is because my ps6 did weird stuff
@@jeffreymcalack many tings hapen and it make me think a lot about it
Hi, I have a question. What is the cut off frequency range of the filter? Is it full range i.e. 20 - 20k Hz? Thanks!
I love that Nathan is playing a Harley Benton bass!
P.S: consider this pedal shortlisted.
Comrade Crab -> the pedal cost more than the bass 😁
Hey, why you giving me the finger 5:47? Great demo!
So, how to use a desktop app? Do you save a preset into the pedal? Does it have some internal memory slots?
Hi, I see in the manual it says that the envelopes control the amplitude and filter cut off, but I downloaded the app on my phone and can't see how to route the envelopes to the amplitude.. Please, haaallllpppp!!!
Sounds great! And I love filters, particularly funky sounding envelope ones like this pedal provides. But now I don't know whether to get this Spectrum pedal or your Soubblox 2 Stingray Multi-Filter??? Decisions decisions....🎼🎶✌🥴
You can get all the sounds in the Stingray with the Spectrum. Plus a lot more. Spectrum includes OC2 style octave effects as well as filter modulation and dirt.
@@sourceaudioeffects where is this available in Canada
The interwebs of course
What are those pickup ups on that awesome Tele!?
Heart: 😍 brain: 🤔
I'm torn between getting the Spectrum or the new C4. I'm tempted to get the C4 since it can do everything the Spectrum can and more I just worry that there's a lot going on under the hood of the C4 that I would never use. Being a bass player what I'm really after is emulating some of the great synth bass parts in a lot of songs so I would really only need the envelope, octave down, phaser, chorus and distortion effects. I doubt I would ever use the arpeggiator or some of the multi voice features of the C4. I'm curious as to how many of the presets for the C4 could also work on the Spectrum.
The primary thing that the C4 does that the Spectrum does not do is generate oscillators. The oscillators are how you create true synthesizer sounds. The Spectrum can create some really awesome "synth-like" sounds, but it is not a truly a synthesizer sound. All that said, they're both great pedals.
@@sourceaudioeffects I agree I'm Funking with both pedals and that said it opens up a multitude of creative possibilities! I'm merely scratching the surface still on these two modern day classics. It's like diving into the depths of the ocean and realizing all that Sushi swimming is so very funky! Aqua boogie baby!
@@sourceaudioeffects I feel like as someone who owns synths & lots of VSTs I am definitely more of a "synth-like" person when it comes to bass(and guitar). I like to hear some of the dynamics or sounds of the instrument influence the final result rather than just reading the pitch. I've always liked the Line 6 Filter stuff for that reason but it doesn't quite nail the range of sounds I'd like. I felt anxiety over whether to get this or shell out for the C4 when i wasn't sure i could justify the price - hearing this it might be a good buy for me though. I particularly like the inclusion of the Foldback distortion as it's an underrated "synth" effect giving you tones somewhere between Buchla and FM Synth tones, which are really good for bass to anyone who grew up with a Sega Megadrive/Genesis.
When switching between guitar and bass usage, do you have to change anything or is it just plug and go so to speak?
was there anything else in the signal chain at 2:53 when Nathan played the bass? especially at the beginning. Thxs
I meant 2:23*
@@romanlopina5120 That is entirely the Spectrum - no other effect pedals. It's likely that there was some compression added in post production.
can you reverse filter direction?
Yes, you can invert the filter direction. Wish we had showed that in the video.
4:02 good god...
Okay so ordered this with the idea that Source Audio has designed the ultimate filter and that they cant possibly put out an upgraded pedal in 2 years.
How do you like it so far? I’m thinking the same thing
@@jsook I love it. I have just been using the pedal straight out of the box with the factory presets . The pedal would be worth the price with just these 6 presets. I had it plugged into the computer once just long enough to update the firmware. There are tons of user created presets that you can burn to the pedal which only makes it even more of a deal. Honestly,I am surprised that I havent tried any of these but like I said,the pedal is great right out of the box. And when you consider that the software allows you to basically build your own pedal with all of the filters,distortions,and octavers this pedal is insane. Normally I would have been deep into this feature as well but I am really still enjoying the pedal as is. Source Audio have really blown me away with this one. The options are almost intimidating. I could easily plug this thing into my PC and spend hours playing with all the filters and distortions and forget to play my bass😁
Does this pedal still only have 6 presets onboard, I don't understand with all of the customization going on that everyone is talking about that they would only allow 6 presets to be onboard and make you use a computer or some app ?
The pedal is too small to have a decent interface for 128 presets. If you want that kind of thing, best to get a MIDI controller.
@@Nebvin if you use a midi controller, you still have to use the computer or is it midi controller > pedal only?
@@majorcloud9141 I use a computer for creating presets. These pedals also have a huge amount of controls that would never fit on the front of a pedal.
Just ordered the pedal and its killing me and theres only a few videos on this pedal I'm gonna have to be 1 to add something for other people to have another video to help them decide on the product I've got the filter bug right now I think this should put it down and I'll sell all my other filter pedals maybe keep 1 for my bass just gonna have to wait and hear in person analog filters and how they stack up then I'll just need a ventris I have its nemesis
Hi I’m not sure if I should get either the spectrum or the soundblox pro bass envelope filter with the dustep and electronica effects. Does the soundblox already contain most of the sounds and effects that the spectrum has?
You should get the Spectrum. It does all that the SB Pro Bass Envelope does and a whole lot more. The Spectrum is also a third the size of the SB Pro.
Does this have an analog signal path?
Analog through?! I doubt it …
Wow, nice makeup guys :)
Best Envelope Filter! Don't buy anything else, not even the Q-Tron by Electro-harmonix!#@SERIOUSLY!
Can you get these same funk sounds in the soundblox pro bass envelope filter? I’m not sure which pedal to buy that one or this one.
@@cloudJazz77 Get the Spectrum - it's far better.
The q tron or riddle? Wath u pick?
Really? I've been seriously debating one of these or Q-Tron for bass. Advice? It's time sensitive.....as in I gotta know before tomorrow which to get. I'm wanting a close P-Funk bass sound as my MXR envelope and octave ain't quite there for P-Funk
