For right now I have it sitting behind an octaver to get synth style tones-- which with the right settings can go anywhere from deep dub to "squishy" groovy stuff and also into Nine Inch Nails territory by dialing in the built in distortions

The worse case scenario is that you feel like it's too much for your setup or you don't like filters and you flip it and recoup most of your money
The Manta is a very well thought out versatile and quite possibly, at the price, the best filter made

The Soundblox 2 Manta Bass Filter is the next generation of the popular Soundblox Pro Bass Envelope Filter
The Manta features 12 finely crafted filter effects plus eight variations of distortion, a feature not seen before in the Soundblox line of filter effects
These Distortion Types are not just crunch, or amp simulation; they are specifically designed to work in tandem with the filter effect selections
The pedal's filters are controllable by 2 envelope followers, sine, square, and saw tooth LFO, and like all Soundblox 2 pedals, the Manta is compatible with the Source Audio Dual Expression Pedal, the Hot Hand 3 Wireless Effects Controller, or MIDI control signals via the Soundblox HUB
The Manta features a very unique signal path, internally splitting the instrument's dry and distorted signals
The dry signal alone controls the envelope, increasing the playing response from the filter
The pedal's 12 filter effects include 2 and 4-pole Low-Pass, Single-Peak, Multi-Peak, and Phases
The Distortion Types include Hard and Soft clip, Octave distortion, Fold-back, Quantized, and synth-like Gated Fuzz
Each distortion has independent gain levels adjusted by the Drive control
The Manta also has 2 user presets and includes a Source Audio 9V DC power supply.
