Reviewing Ian Martin Allison's HX Stomp Presets | The Janek Gwizdala Podcast

- I thought this would be one of the easiest Epsisodes/videos to make.
Rock up to my computer, import Ian’s presets, play music, talk, done.
The reality was actually quite different. There was real pressure to “get it right” for want of a better phrase.
This was meant to be my take on the sounds, my opinion for whatever it’s worth, and just some fun seeing where the presets would take me.
But shortly after hitting the record button I started over-thinking things and realizing I was putting pressure on myself to know what each sound was made up of just by listening, and to try and do the sounds justice.
I eventually got the heart rate down a little and settled into simply enjoying the sounds and making music, and hopefully that is ultimately what comes across.

JANEK! You star. What a treat to wake up to this episode. Thank you so much. I was totally inspired hearing you play through the sounds! Made me want to dive back in and approach some of them in a different way. What a gift.
Two things I will say - these presets were crafted with passive instruments in mind so I always will tell people to turn the guitar pad on in the input circle if playing with a high output active bass. Also it seems in the transition to the rack unit, the 1st footswitch was missed which contains great stuff on all of these sounds. A lot of octave down in particular. Not absolutely critical, but just wanted to point that out for people watching/listening.
Thank you again Janek! I can’t wait to dive into your sounds.
I would love to see a demo made by you @IanMartinAllison on these presets, to see what your thought process was and what you intended for each sound.
@@andreipetre5242 You really dialed in the envelope in a way I had not achieved on my own. I set as favorite, the envelope from the Juno, and pasted it in all my own preset. Cheers.
Just throwing out that I also fell in love with Ian's Montana sound right away. Will probably tinker with that for the rest of my bass playing life and I'll always credit him for 'creating' that vibe for us to play with.
i think more than anything the IMA presets really helped me understand how to set up a solid preset. there are so many great design choices he made that are appicable to any preset you would ever want to make. the presets are incredible on their own and worth the price tag IMO but the knowledge i gained in analyzing them for my own presets was an incredible cherry on top.
This is exactly what I aimed to achieve! Useful sounds with the addition of showing folks my lens of programming. Thanks so much for the support.
I found that I had to resist the urge to tweak Ian’s settings. Every time I did, I always ended up going back to the way he set them up. Try them in real settings before you mess with too much. Dude knows his stuff! 👍👍
I love your coverage of Ian's presets. Of everything I've purchased so far they are head and shoulders above everything else (anxious to get yours but need the finances first). I use the IMA Sig almost all the time at church and play with everything else in my personal practice time. Would love to see you dive deeper with Ian on his mindset when creating these effects.
Really nice demo of Ian's presets Janek, thanks! Now it'd be nice to see @IanMartinAllison demo Janek's presets! 🙂
Fitting that you and IMA were the reason I grabbed the HX Stomp in the first place! I just might have to grab his pack after seeing it used out of the context of his playing.
And that’s not a knock on Ian because I adore him! It comes from a “well those work because that’s his thing” but now it’s a “well Janek isn’t Ian and neither am I!”
Great pod, very interested in the synthy sounds particularly the more vintage type tones.
I use the Juno preset all the time. I added an effects loop to put my Laney Digbeth preamp in the mix. So good. Also, you should check out the Laney Digbeth pre/DI 🔥
very cool sounds!
I have Ian's Classic Amp pack and the GK Gen Z is my go-to HX Stomp patch now. Love the saturation on it. Also probably because I am a GK user.
This is the pedal geek's equivalent of science discoveries peer review.
Justo lo que necesitaba... Muchas gracias a los dos. Sois una inspiración
As a fan of both you and IMA, this was so rad!
I've been working on setting up my HX stomp and I feel like I've been setting up the same patches over and over with just slight tweaks. I've been thinking about grabbing some of your patches but now maybe I should look into Ian's instead! 😂 Just kidding, plenty of room for both on that stomp! (and I need the baby elephant one)
Ooooh, the sub one is soo cool, been trying to create something like that and failing.
I have all of Janek Presets also except the new ones. Love them also...
I have IMA's Signature pack and that's been my go-to for a while now. His Montana and IMA Sig are brilliant. Montana I've been using a lot for inspirational practice. Same for your Super Synth. Definitely want to check out IMA's synth pack after listening to these. Leviathan sounds awesome! I've totally missed that you've now got other presets! Definitely have to look into those. Love your sound. That 13 Fathoms intro and the bass chords on Concord towards the end are some of my recent favourites! Though my regular go to has to be Theatre By the Sea.
38:35 reminds me of Bush - Glycerine
I have All of IMA presets. Their really good.
@ianmartinallison, one of the biggest issues many stomp users have a challenge with is balancing the output level of the different patches. Do your patches address that issue? And I'm also wondering if these patches are applicable for both live and studio or primarily one or the other? Love your and Janek's work. Thank you gentlemen.
i told you that you would love the podcast and those dudes can i get a bass?
🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for this video. I am currently using boss gt-10b and gt-10 they have kinda run their course. I really want helix LT I can do bass and guitar all in one. Mostly to be honest the Deftones patches for guitar are worth the switch. Anyhow definitely going to upgrade and get yours and Ian’s bass patches because I am lazy 😂haha Ty again.
Wow, "Ultimate amp" doesn't sound nearly as saturated when I play it on my P. Great video, thanks!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video thank you! Great sounds. I’m currently producing demo videos for each of Ian’s Signature Pack presets - playlist here for anyone interested: Ian Martin Allison Preset Demos (HX Stomp)

Is it weird that I think Janek playing IMA’s preset pack sounds better than IMA playing IMA’s preset pack?
