From my personal experience, if I can give one advice, I would add one analog pedal before the stomp that is buffered (for example a Klon clone). This, for my ears, makes the HX Stomp impedance much more "analog like" and sounds amazing! Also, it frees some of the stomp processing since you can use this analog overdrive instead of the digital one...
This, or a decent wireless receiver. They too have a buffer in them! I do both, where I run wireless and use a Boss SY pedal for synth parts in my music
Thank you for this, I've been contemplating about hoping on the stomp train for a minute. I think this video did it for me! Also, I peeped you playing "Told You So" in that intro 👀🤟
I’ve been watching hx stomp listings on Reverb/GC Used/Sweetwater used all year and haven’t seen one go below $400. That’s like a lottery-grade find. Congrats on snagging that lol.
Thank you for this video! Very informative and to the point. For power, the Stomp (stomp XL in my case) requires both the converter AND the polarity reverse cables?
My only issue with the stomp is I wanted it on the lower end of my board since I use it more than other effects. I fixed this problem with an angle adapter for the usb b than took the usb cable under the board and it worked wonders later I got a usb b d type socket for the board and it worked amazingly with no lag at the all works every time. I’ve spent years getting the ins and outs of the board to work without it being a mess. The stomp still looks like an octopus tho with all that cabling haha
I play throught a real amp using the HX Effects. and my mods, delays and reverbs are in the amps FX loop not going into the front of the amp. My amp's preamp is in the FX loop of my HX FX so it can go anywhere in the chain.
@@ZachBrobstMusic I'm blessed to have an amp with a great preamp gain sound. Putting the preamp into the FX loop of the HX Effects functions similarly to having an amp block or preamp block, which is why I went with the HX Effects over the HX Stomp. I love the sound and often get compliments. I might be overkill for an amp without significant preamp gain.
Hey man currently using my stomp with my board and have it at the end of my signal path, getting ready to do some recording soon wondering if i was to go stereo out from the stomp using a full stereo patch will my stereo image still be retained although all my pedals before the hx are essentially mono?
Yup! Using the stereo output from your board with a stereo patch will help add some depth and spatialization to your sound, even if your pedals before the stomp are mono!
