With Agoura models that have multiple channels, can a foot switch be assigned to toggle between settings?

Yessir. Or it could change via snapshots. Or by extension, automatically during a song via Preset/Snap flags.

Who needs footswitches when this is strapped to your guitar

Fishing for love from the 40+ crowd here and I’m in.

You spelled Colecovision wrong.

What would be cool would be if there could be like block snapshots, so I could do three different channel/EQ settings of an SLO100 for example, while also having foot switches for effect on/off. Kinda like how Fractal does “per preset” layouts.

Odyssey, baby.

Faaaaaar too slow for realtime playing/recording.

I'll admit I second guessed 'bluetooth' as I posted it. Bluetooth v6 is targeting 20ms which would send Leo Gibson into an endless spiral. I will stand by my other point though, never used headphones. - "Hey Angus, you're too loud, can you please use your headphones."

But what if it had a little lid you could close?

Again with this!

Nobody likes plugging into the wrong jack.

It was an accident, honey, I swear!

Like an Atari 5200?

OMG! I had one of those as a kid. Talk about not living up to the marketing. It was the QC of the 80’s!

Good luck buddy. My wife’s been barking up that tree for 15 years.

Are people seriously advocating for headphone jacks on the face of a floor units though? That seems insane. Are there even floor units like that?

No - not “people”. Just one lonely ol’ person. lol

Intellivision for the win!!

Some of us apparently need to migrate over to the “retro games to play while recovering from a colonoscopy” thread.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but can't Helix do this now, via the Command Center?

You can already do it with the OG Helix, if I understand correctly what you're describing.

Command Center | Helix Help

Helix, Rack, LT, HX Stomp, and HX Stomp XL are world-class master remote controls for your entire touring or studio rig. Each of their Stomp mode footswitches and expression pedals can be used to send a variety of MIDI, CV/expression, or External Amp commands to your guitar amps, vintage pedals...

You can do this on Helix by combining snapshots and fx bypass functionality. I don't remember how you configure it, but I ran my Helix so that the top row was individual, per preset fx bypass functions and the bottom row was snapshots. I'm sure there are other ways to do this.

Fractal's per preset layout is where you tell on a preset basis what that per preset switch does, but the per preset layout stays the same across presets. I don't remember if Helix has some fx bypass mode that would show something similar and auto-populate it with your fx?

What's everyone's take on 1/4" vs. 1/8" phone jacks? 1/8" makes the most sense on something like POD Express—where people aren't likely connecting their Sennheiser HD800s—but it is 1/8" better or worse for something like HX Stomp?

I wouldn't want anything on the floor to have 1/8" jack, that's for phones/mp3 players only. Aren't most 1/8" earphones waist length as well?

It actually is pretty logical. Very little people will likely use the HP out when the unit is sitting on the floor. So they may already have it up on their desks, a stand or whatever. And you will as well kinda naturally tilt the unit a bit, so it's sorta facing you similar to a rack unit. Now, where would you put the HP out on a rack unit? See?

If there’s anything I absolutely don’t want, it’s a top-facing 1/4 jack on the unit for some asshole (probably me) to dump a beer in.

If you dump beer on the top of your modeler, there's very likely more significant things to worry about than a messy HP out.

And fwiw, I don't actually expect anyone to come up with a top-facing HP out, largely for the reasons @Digital Igloo already mentioned - yet, for all my use cases that'd be the best location.

This, I agree totally.
