The Line 6 take on a Boss MS-3 would be cool. And the HX Stomp or Stomp XL doesn't quite cover it.

I still want that full power but smaller than the LT box!

 

[James Freeman]

They could use 96kHz sampling rate effectively halving the hardware A/D/A latency but I'm not sure if that will improve the buffer latency in the DSP processes like it does in DAWs.

MS3 was a great idea, and it still is very good. It was my first venture into digital. My first ”ampless” setup was a MS-3 and a Vox MV Clean and some pedals on a board and a 1x12 cab. Worked great.

I wish there was a GT1000 era ms3 equivalent that was actually viable for routing and as an ir player.

Isn't that the HXFX? And isn't it better? (in some ways, not so in others)

Agreed.

And here’s the ms-3 board I had… damn I kinda miss this board now when I see it. The rat and timmy worked great with the Vox thingamabob.

Sorry for derailing thread haha!

The cool thing, which is guess is a boss thing, that’s not available in Helix HXFX is the parameter auto thingy which gave you basically auto wahs and auto filters and so on. It was cool to have.

Agreed.

Scandinavian design. So clean!

 

[Alex Kenivel]

I really think we should make this show. Debating whether to pay the 500 for this year's Restream.io, if we did this show it would probably be worth it

On one hand I think it'd be fun, on the other hand I don't know how long we could discuss the same topic before it gets old.

How long have you been posting on guitar forums?!

I think I'm going to buy a board, JUST to build and rebuild it. Not to use it, just build it to look like this one, as a hobby.

I've definitely built the death star

Lol, I'm going to buy all of your units, and figure out how to put them on the floor. THAT'S my new project!

I do it all the time. It's therapeutic. I have 6 boards all built up nice n tidy like.

 

[Digital Igloo]

I could see Line 6 developing a standalone pedal switcher based on their tech for Command Center, snapshots, scribble strips, etc.

Oh, it's been fully designed for years, and IMNSHO it's the best standalone pedal switcher that no one will ever see, because the run rates just aren't high enough. It'd also cost quite a bit more than you expect.

So. Much. Latency.

Not with a digitally-controlled analog matrix.

This makes Drew saaaaaaadddddd.

There's always a chance. If big, expensive pedalboard switchers become a standard, we may be forced to revisit. In the meantime, we have other ideas that might just bridge the gap.

Badonk with the new cab engine is sounding REALLY good on my XL.

I think I'm going to take the plunge and update the big boy (Floor) right now. Wish me luck!
