Interested in your opinions and experiences. I’ve used my stomp in all kinds of ways since 2018, for the moment all by it self.
Ive used it with external delays and reverbs, which at one point felt reasonable. Now maybe not. Except for if one is interested in the more quirky stuff from EQD, OBNE and other quirky peculiar brands. I’m torn here… the quirky pedals often seem to be very 1 trick pony oriented. Then there’s the super advanced stuff like GFI, Meris, Source Audio and so on. Personally I try to avoid adding such things on top of the already advanced HX Stomp.
Then there’s modeling itself. I used an Iridium for a while in the attempt to use the Stomp as an FX only box, which it does great. But I kept coming back to the amp model variety in the Stomp.
Then there’s the dirt/compression/preamp thing. This I haven’t tried yet. But I read about it all the time. There are tons of people swearing by their Greers, Hudsons, Duellists, Bensons, Fairfield Circuitry, revival drives and so on…. I know that the most common types of OD’s and Drivea are in there so no point in adding those. But the more refined “luxury” (if you will) preamp/boosts/OD’s might add a new level of base tone. Tend to be very expensive though.
Either way, it sometimes does a lot to add a few pedals and either squeeze them into a fx block or run them in front.
What’s yo opinion?
