Will Cady with Source Audio gave us a sneak peak of a new SoundBlox stomp that isn’t due out for a number of months – the Bass Envelope Filter. The new pedal sports 21 effect presets ranging from low pass, single peak and phasers… and a lot of goodies in between. The stomp sports four knob controls: Effect selects to dial up the preset, Sweep Range, Speed and Frequency. The pedal offers all the filter functionality from sweeping, liquid flows to snappy, punchy thumping. We shot a little video of the stomp in action that you can check out after the jump! Pricing and availablity are coming soon! Stay tuned!

Source Audio’s Will Cady penned an interesting origin story on the company’s Soundblox Classic Distortion stomp recently… so interesting that we want to share it with you. For the unfamiliar, the Classic Distortion is Source Audio’s ‘take’ on several dirt/fuzz pedals from year’s past including the Big Muff, Rat and Tone Bender among others. We haven’t had the good fortune to test drive the pedal ourselves, but we’ve seen and heard it demoed live and in-person… and it is the goods! We are looking forward to catching up with the Source Audio crew later this month at Summer NAMM. For now, Will’s words start after the jump!

We told you about the new Source Audio Soundblox Pro Classic Distortion pedal waaaaaay back in July. We said then that the stomp would come with presets and a 7-band equalizer. We now know that some of the dirt boxes the Pro Classic will emulate includes the RAT, Big Muff Pi, Octavia, Tone Bender and more! There is a demo video out now that shows off some of these tones as well as a cool blending feature using an expression pedal. The new pedal will be on full display at next week’s NAMM show in Anaheim and we hope to be able to spend some time with it. Until then, peep the video after the jump!

The fine folks at Source Audio are preparing all of their new goodies to show off at the Winter NAMM show next month in Anaheim, California. Among the new gear slated to debut is the Multiwave Bass Distortion Pro – a sweet-looking addition to its popular Multiwave pedal line. There is not too much info out there on this pedal just yet, but you can check out a short video from Source Audio’s Will Cady where he is talking about preparing an instructional video for the new stomp. You’ll also get a better look at the beast! Pricing and availability should be known ahead of the show. We’ll keep you posted. Check the video out after the jump!

The Source Audio crew has teased a new stomp in its upcoming Soundblox Pro series – the Soundblox Pro Classic Distortion. The new pedal was the result of the company’s artist group testing the Multiwave Pro Distortion pedal asking for more traditional distortion tones with a quiet signal path, the presets and the 7-band equalizer like what is present on the Multiwave Pro. Source Audio Chief Scientist Bob Chidlaw retreated into the SA lab and began rifling through boxes and boxes of classic distortion pedals of all types trying to find the right tones to include in the new box. Hmmm… which ones!? The Source Audio Soundblox Pro Classic distortion will be unveil fully at Winter NAMM.

Welcome to The Five! – a new feature here at What’s That Dude Play? where we take five simple questions and put them to the men and/or women that make the pedals we all GAS for. First up is Source Audio’s Roger K Smith. We had a chance to meet Roger and his crew at Summer NAMM in June and got a first hand demo of the company’s innovated Soundblox stomps and uber-cool Hot Hand motion control device. If you haven’t seen this thing in action, you should hop over to their site and check it out. The verdict – good people… sweet effects. Enough of my yaking… over to Roger after the jump!
