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.
