HX Stomp.

Not very ergonomic for a number of reasons.
Plus its power supply brick is almost as big as the unit!
 
How can a person criticise the power adapter of the HX Stomp and recommend the QC at the same time?

1. Was specifically talking about the Stomp PS size - which everyone agrees is ridiculous along with the fact the plugs protrude from the brick making it cumbersome as all hell.
2. I used a QC for a year and a half with zero PS issues. Heard the same from tons of others.
3. You are a card carrying member of the anti-Neural foundation I noted earlier, so your comments need to be tempered accordingly.

With all due respect of course!

Get a PodGo. It doesn't sound like shit. To the extent its sound approaches that of excrement, it is so much further from excrement than Logic Modeling that you seem to be relatively satisfied with that it's not worth discussing in this thread.

The Stomp only makes sense if you are going to be picky about dialing your own presets and/or you wanna integrate into a larger pedal board with other pedals. For the kind of music you play, you are not going to need the extra routing flexibility offered up by the Stomp vs the PodGo.
 
What you are going to play through/ listen through is important.
For example, if you are going to be running it through your DAW/ desktop monitors then start with a few good plugins, Helix Native was a good suggestion. Neural DSP plugins are good and less complex.

If you want a stand-alone hardware solution a Yamaha THR 10 would be simple and convenient. It can be a small all in one and also go via USB into DAW whenever you want.
 
Seriously though, QC is too expensive, and even HX Stomp sounds like overkill. POD Go would seem to fit the bill. Does the POD Go really sound that different than an HX Stomp?

Not really, but remember that modelers are not just about the amp sounds. There is also the effects and hardware (meaning I/O) in addition that all contribute to the final price. For your situation, based on the information you supplied, I would think that a Pod Go would work quite well for you.

No. I have both. There is a difference but it’s at cork-sniffing level. Once you’ve got effects going and it’s going through an amp or PA there’s no real difference.
