Digital Igloo (Eric Klein, YGG)

Not boomer old?

You should be able to read the scribble strips e.g. on a Helix Floor easily while standing up, then. Some complain about sunlight problems, but in general I'd say the letters are legit readable, and the Stadium is probably similar (if not better).

I can't. It's not all about age.

Fortunately, they made the base Stadium, which has neither digital labels (the pedant in me notes that we do not 'scribble' on them) nor a built in expression pedal, thereby checking two of my preference boxes. So I have that on order.

Yup, it's like the LT to the Floor but without the expression pedal. Definitely the one I'd go for (at some point in the future).

All good. So even though the entire DSP and all 8 blocks can be used for effects only, and amps and cabs can be fully ignored, just knowing that HX Stomp is also a modeler affects your buying decision. We call this an "intangible benefit" of HX Effects, and it's totally legit. Thanks!

Out of curiosity, would the ability to completely hide amps, cabs, and IRs from the model list move the needle at all?

I would love a 'hide' feature for things I don't use in every modeler, multi-fx, and similar device that I use. It would massively streamline things and make the units easier to use.

I am not a fan of screens on the floor. Let the interface run on an iPad on a stand. Then the 50-60 somethings can get an iPad, the 40 somethings can get an iPad mini, and the old geezers can get an iPad Pro, or if that doesn’t work, a 75” TV they* can screen mirror to.


* with the help of their eye rolling grand kids of course.

I get your point, but I also don't want the device dependent upon a second device that I neither own nor want. I just don't use the interface while it's on the floor, other than a rare knob turn here and there. The color coded switches cover me for a playing session.
