I don't want to read the manual. Stomp XL switches

So broke down and RTFM. You would be proud of me @the-trooper !

I am proud of you!
It was great, wasn't it?

It'll hurt less the second time, I promise!

You still get IR loading with HXFX. What amps do you have? If the tone isn't relying heavily on power tube saturation your amps preamp and do an iron block maybe all you need to scratch the direct itch. I have a Stomp but am using it in 4CM with an MT15 and use the preamp into an IR at home and it sounds good

I have a Line 6 Catalyst and I have dialed in some pretty good tones for what I do, but the ability to switch between presets sucks. I was thinking of adding the HXFX for additional effects and midi control, but the additional modeling features of the Stomp & XL for a few bucks more has me second guessing.

I'll read up more on your suggestions. I'm in no hurry either way.

I'm a nerd that actually enjoys reading manuals.

Other companies need to take note from Mesa and make their manuals read more like an erotic novel

Yes, such as this scintillating passage from the Electra Dyne manual:

“This time proven circuit has been revisited, scrutinized and feel-optimized to create an even more luscious clean voice that gets further enhanced by the curvaceous magic of the Simul-Class Power section…

… More tube stages are added and circuitry flipped to create this Boogie-ized, Simul-Class rendering of a modified English amp that’s been pumped for every drop of the precious tube nectar..”

Wait you all haven’t read the manuals to four Line 6 products even though you only own one, just to see if you want one of the others?

Also, as someone who had to read Roland and Boss manuals from the 1980’s and 90’s, shame on all of you for complaining. I learned to use my Boss SE-50 and Roland W-30 uphill, both ways.

LOL the Roland "data dump" addenda at ends of those manuals...

I'd sometimes look at those tables and try to be grateful that Roland had taken the time to pull the margins off the tractor feed printer paper.

Guilty as charged, but I'm only through 2 so far...
