hey Janek for some space on you stereo pedalboard maby you could use the KMA Audio Machines Endgame Duality Calibrator. here is a link to an indepth tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-esKGQEjBTMU.htmlsi=cV6wCw7pLrugu69j all the best to you !!!
Thanks for your inside view of your use of the Stomp. I like to use it in Stomp mode like an actually pedalboard with advantages of the stomp, especially with Command Center and a midi foot controller. I also like to use an compressor in front of the stomp like the Aguilar DB599, which is small and fits perfectly on every board. An mini envelope filter would be also nice because the built in filter are not the best. The same with the analog octave. It's pretty close but the MXR Vintage Bass Octave would be the perfect size for a small (travel) board
How does the HX Stomp screen do in direct sunlight? If you've run into this problem before, you know it can be more than just an annoyance, it can change your overall performance.
Tell you what - you’re dead right about the PedalTrain flight case handle. It’s horrible and I’m concerned it’ll eventually bruise my hand on the way to a gig. I’m gonna drill it out and replace it.
Welcome to the Dark Side. Wont trade my sixes for anything. Matter of fact I ordered another one last year, so about another year before I get it. Just so nice to have whatever I need on one bass.
I got the spec tempus, colourbox V2, spaceman Titan, Xotic wah, Palisades, and Keeley comp pro on my travel board with enough room for either the hx or pog2. I'm loving the flexibility/ portability coming from a large es8 board. We have a lot of pedal choices in common, love the channel!
Super cool to see how you are using the stomp. I have 2 questions (1) I did not see you use any amp sims, is there a reason you chose the Stomp over the HX Effects? (2) How do you deal with any faults on the road? do you take 2 stomps with you?
Great video and the moral is: learn your gear. I see more "advanced" gear as an instrument you have to learn and very often great features are how you can access and manipulate your sound. That is one reason why I love Boss. In their assign menue like in the 500 series, 1000 gt and my loved SY-1000 which has 16 assings you can control nearly everthing and the icing on the cake is their Wavepedal which is an LFO. This opens up so many posssiblities to sound design.
Nice Video, I got the XL and I use like a pedalboard plus C4 audiosource,on the FX Loop. Also use an Electro Harmonix Dual Expression Pedal one output conected to de HX a the other to the C4
I have a main patch that I have built that then I use instant access switches to turn on the effects I need in that tune My “hack” I would tell people is that I then copy all those somewhere else and tweak for each instrument, so if I feel like playing a P or a J everything is optimized for each instrument.
Love hearing you on different gear! It’s cool to see the slight changes amp/speakers make. I’ve been fighting to love my sound lately. Would love for you to go through your process of EQing (for live performance) sometime. That’s one thing I still struggle with.
Ive used the Helix LT for years and have a main preset for each band, one for solo/practise and a few expetimental ones. But, I've never used snapshots. It might be time for a rethink.
Will these presets also be available for individual purchase? If I’m not mistaken (which I very well could be) some of these are from the old HX pack (which I have and love!)? It would probably be redundant to buy it for 2 new presets( Big Boi / Oh 💩), unless those from the old bundle have been updated . Thanks for all the great stuff you put out, Janek!
I’ve been using external fs 4&5 but just realized I can configure my midi keyboard to add pads, knobs & faders to my HX Stomp. Thanks for the inspiration!
I just started getting into using Command Center to stack snapshots in one foot switch. So now, I can switch presets with 4 and 5, cycle through snapshots with switch 1, and use 2 and 3 to turn on stuff like boosts, reverbs, or who knows what else. It’s SO DAMN FLEXIBLE. You and Ian are the reason I bought this thing, and I have absolutely no regrets. Thanks for sharing such great HX Stomp content!
If not already mentioned get a UPS for your recording gear. It would give you enough time to save and shut down everything safely when the power goes out plus save you from brown outs.
The audio is horrible (compared to what you normally do), but thank goodness you got it. The content is pure gold! I don't have an HX Stomp but I'm getting so many ideas for my setup. Thanks for uploading this even if it's not up to your own standards, it would have been a loss if this would not have come out. 🔥
From this weekend warrior who’s only used a tuner and preamp for years and just bought an HX Stomp, this video just taught me tons. Making a similar board to your ‘mini’ with MXR pre, Stomp, Tuner and possible wireless input.
I like to also use the HX Stomp as a splitter of sorts. I use the Split Crossover to separate my low end from the rest of the signal path to keep it a bit cleaner, and then i layer some compression, distortion, preamp, amp, and cab sim for the mid/top end. I then connect everything back together with a high/low cut at the very end, connect to a DI, and send it to front of house. I use it for metal, but it still holds a lot of clarity while playing and it doesn't turn into a distorted mess which is super nice. I want to use the presets on a song to song basis, but for the moment the sound of the band I am currently in is pretty uniform for the 7 songs we play, with one exception being a very clean and soft song.
Fantastic! I’ve been seriously considering getting a HX Stomp, but was worried about learning the language, if you will. Thanks to this, I’m in. No longer worried.
This was great. Thanks! I use stomp mode primarily but have always been curious of what I'm missing out on with the other modes and it's great to hear about it from the perspective of someone working with it in real scenarios. I use a preamp in the FX loop as my primary sound while adding effects with the stomp to compliment the main engine. I also like the global EQ I use in the Stomp. Keep up the good work!
I’m glad you made this video I have been wanting to get one, but not sure if it’s for me, or if i should just stick with individual pedals, luckily you caught the audio with your phone, it sounds fine
Hey, thanks for sharing. I prefer a high action mainly because of the thumbing and plucking style. I’ve become used to the high action which allows me to play triplets and double thumbing much easier. I didn’t realize this or I forgot why I raised the action until I had my basses set up. Finger style was fine but the lower action really impacted my technique and timing. So I’m going back to the high action, just been lazy and most of the music I play today really doesn’t require much thumping and plucking.
I used the SVT 300 Watt head (all tubes, power and pre) on the road for 21 years along with a HLF 4x10 cabinet. There’s just nothing like Ampeg. Occasionally I would get an Aguilar rig for backline, and they’re just so sterile in comparison.
i could not afford the "helloy duo" or whatever its called, so i had a friend 3d print one shaped like an L , and then i built it myself and but it on the side of the HX stomp so i still have the acces to the Send and return ports, coasted me like 3euro insted of 50 euro that the Duo coast :P
