Stomp is still awesome for me as well, I did buy some analog pedals but what the stomp offers is bloody good value for money, can't wait to see what the next iteration of modelling will be for Line6!
Yeh theyll be something in the pipeline for sure. Seems they don’t need to really rush it either which is good as these keep being updated for free haha
I have owned a Stomp since they came out & now use it as effects & IR loader only, the fact that Line 6 keep updating the unit means its totally relevent after all this time & still a good investment.
the whole HX line up of stuff is still totally relevant and stands up to more modern digital stuff, the only thing ive never seemed to get on with in the HX world is the drives. There only ever 'ok' compared to a decent standalone drive pedal
Ugh I've gone through some amp modellers over the last few years... But I ended up back on the Stomp, the main reason is just how easy it is to use compared to other units. I'm using mine like you, more just for the effects but I also have a patch with some amp sim for recording too. Actually got a vid coming out later going over my pedal board and how I'm using the HX integrated into it.
Nice video guys! Just came cross your channel! I have a Stomp XL too. How do you guys set your preferences in it? Like the input impedance. Mine is set to auto and Enabled (which means that the impedance will be based on the first that activate). But My 70's chorus ways drop down the volume, so I have to switch the impedance to 1ohm or set the preferences to "first" (that will consider the impedance of the first pedal in the chain, even if it is off). Your 70s chorus just sounded really good! Can you guys tell me how you have your impedance preferences set? Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks dude - I think on the 70s chorus it has a level meter a few pages over in the settings which you can make the Db back up. I have noticed some of the delays and mods increase or decrease your overall volume in the way you mentioned, and ive had enough of the real pedal counterparts to know they do the same but dont offer the control to fix it haha.
I use the Hx stomp in my band with the Seymour Duncan powerstage 170 to power the cab and I love it. I frequently get compliments on my sound. I use a TS before stomp and a clean solo boost pedal in loop. Perfect for me even in 2024.
Unless I plan on recording and releasing music I can’t imagine needing anything more than the stomp offers. It slots into my pedalboard, gives me a palette of great effects, allows me switch between my amp and a bunch of amp model, gives lots of output options. Hard to see what a future iteration can offer besides a touch screen (who cares), IR capture (not something I would use) and “higher quality” effects (maybe, but already more than good enough for me).
exactly mate, great bit of kit - there is something to be said for comparing it to analog gear of course.... but.... for most of us its just not worth going down that rabbit hole haha
I think the stomp XL is the perfect sized form factor for an all in 1 unit. Easily still competes with the new units. The sounds are still great and the newer modellers dont really innovate anything in such a huge way. How much DSP does a live gigging musician use?. If you run out of DSP your using waaayyy more than anything all our hero guitarists ever used. Keep It Simple.
@@jnixo9900 exactly that's all you need with simple great sound analog pedals simple like I said. Unlike crap digital mush and in simple screens and twerking and twerking....Analog pedals 👍
