I've had the Stomp for a couple of weeks now and I'm still exploring it. Only thing I've done is pedestrian stuff like using a Klon and a Tube Screamer.
The most unique thing I have done in the past is a hard panned split like you show but put an amp and cab on the right side only. Left side goes out to a real amp. At my home church I use a headphone mixer to blend the modeled right amp and cab into my ears so I can hear myself in stereo even though FOH is mono and only wants one amp. Overkill yes but it makes a difference to me and my enjoyment of playing. In one travel gig I ran the modeled amp into FOH as well through a DI for stereo but only traveling with one amp. Playing with no amps all quarantine though and all direct (thanks to your awesome presets) makes me seriously question whether I'll go back to using the real amps because the sounds I'm getting now with the HX are as good or even better.
Another great one. Your HX Stomp videos are really unique and, in my opinion, really valuable. I tried the free preset you shared in another video and I think that it sounds and feels amazing. It made me look at the input impedance feature and implement changes in my own presets that turned out great. I’m surely going to buy your preset/IR packs in the near future. Wish you success for the channel. Take care!
Hi Michael - I don't normally comment on videos, but your tips and presets are the best around for the HX stomp. Subscribed and will be stopping by your store soon to pick up some more presets. Thanks!
You could use this as a pseudo wet/dry that sums to a mono output too. Driven amp in one path acting as a core tone. Maybe make it British in tonality. Something 60s Fender maybe in the second path with delays and verbs. You were a huge contributing influence in my purchase of a Stomp. It will be here Wednesday. Looking forward to playing with it. It should round out my “do anything rig.” Amps when I want them, backline Kempers at church, and direct when I’m playing Eddie’s/Smith’s/or walk into a venue that wants silent stage.
I recently tried to recreate Scott Pilgrim type sound. While it doesn't sound exactly the same I really like what I created. I put Divided Duo on the edge of breakup (with lowered the channel volume) into Interstate Zed. It creates really cool fuzzy type of sound on the neck pickup on my strat.
I know this is an older video, but.... Dual amps panned sounds incredible with headphones. When playing live, do you usually run hard panned presets, or mono? Thanks
Super-cool! Are you playing the HX Stomp live more than an amp these days? I'm dipping my toe into the HX Stomp, but still safer with my trusty AC30behind me! Interested in hearing your thoughts on using the NEW tech out Live! Cheers man - Great vid as always MUSIC=LIFE 🕊❤
I have a very interesting question but havent got my HX Stomp yet, can I have 1 blended tone on input L(1) and another blended tone input R(2) on the same patch? I plan on doing a stereo rig with this patch live! With this i want to make a block on both paths that send them to a power amp avoiding the cab simulation so it can run into a real cab, while the outputs go to front of house! Thanks and I look forward to a response!
You can get a wider stereo by inverting the polarity for a truer stereo then do a compensation EQ high cut on one amp and low cut on the other. This will allow you to pop out of a band mix more even if you have a dark tone.
Good information TFS Enjoyed BTW check out Music Gear Network Great information here you will be interested in and gives out IRs from time to time his in cahoots with Line 6 and infamous Rigs " not trying to spam I think you'll like it"
Anybody else using the HX Stomp to get some unique tones? What are you doing?

Yeah, that's a great idea. I haven't had the opportunity to try that but it's a cool way to run stereo!
Michael W. Westbrook yeah I’m buying your socks Lol😂
This has been the best one I have seen on how to split the signal! Thank you!
Great video, I will use the Helix to make a wet-dry-wet rig with a Peavey 6505. This will help me a lot.

I really appreciate the comment! Glad you are enjoying the videos
Dude these presets are marvelous thank you
Hi Michael, this video was super helpful. I'm gonna try this technique and hopefully get some nice tones. Thanks and keep up the great content!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful for you!
Very creative bit of sound engineering, thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for watching!

Congrats! It’s a great all purpose solution with lots of different applications

Always Hard panned stereo. If I’m mono I just run one amp

So great! 👍

But... if it’s ever summed to mono it completely cancels out and becomes silent
@@MichaelWWestbrook not if you merge into one signal path going out. And it will cancel if you use identical cabs with the same mics
Good information

Mm...mhmm
u need to demo the tones in between the talking - there is no tones , just talking man!
Yeah, I made this video almost 4 years ago! I’ve learned alot since then 😂
