I used one of these for years and years. Great unit but one day it just wouldn't power on and I guess that was that. I moved on and got the HX stomp and for the limited effects use I have in my shows, the HX stomp was a great product, took up less room on my pedal board and has pretty good modeling so I can use it as a backup amp going to the PA if needed.
@@sergioserramusic Yeah I can see that. I don't use presets. I use it pretty much as a glorified 3 effect stompbox where I toggle Chorus, Delay and a solo boost on/off and that's it. I have a external footswitch also configured that if I do need to use the stomp as a backup amp, I can connect that switch and do channel changing to toggle between a clean and dirty amp. My Fractal FM3 pretty much put my hx stomp out of business for about a year and then I snagged a MKII Katana Artist head and have been using that lately with an OX Stomp pedal going to the PA and an FRFR behind me and that amp sounds REALLY great. I was able to pretty much nail my silver jubilee sound after a couple days of tweaking settings and flipping back and fourth between the jubilee and the katana with an A/B switch.
It sounds really great. What is the overdrive like? I would use this for an all in one so the drive would have to be decent.is it a tube screamer style of? Or a klon style?
The drive sounds good, it doesn’t sound like a TS or a Klon, if sounds like itself but thanks to the eq you could shape it a bit. I then tried to emulate the DS-1 with the distortion and the eq and I got pretty close so I think you could get the overdrive to sound like a TS!
Ciao. Ho avuto anche io questo multi effetto per anni. Poi a causa di un cortocircuito di una ciabatta l'ho fulminato. Ne ho comprato uno usato da un tizio e non funzionava. Poi me ne sono acquistato uno nuovo che andava in freeze. Fortunatamente ho approfittato della garanzia e ho preso una GX 100 della Boss perchè il TC era ormai fuori produzione. Gli effetti del Nova System erano nettamente migliori e la sezione OD/Distortion se la cavava egregiamente. Semplice da usare in accoppiata con un qualsiasi canale clean di un ampli senza tanti casini. Costava come un pedalone boutique. Mi dispiace che non lo fanno più, mannaggia. Con i nuovi Plethora non si combina un catz... Ci vanno altri accrocchi aggiuntivi, anche solo per le distorsioni. Dovrebbero rimetterlo in produzione, magari con una sim clean decente per usarlo in diretta.
@@Fenderpassion eh sarebbe bello vederne una versione aggiornata! Purtroppo la Plethora è fragile, bei suoni ma questa ha dalla sua che è un carro armato e suona bene
Adoro questa multieffetto, l'ho usata per anni ai concerti con la mia band :') L'unico problema è che vorrei usarla per registrare delle tracce di chitarra sul PC, ma quando la collego alle mie schede audio c'ha sempre un sibilo di sottofondo che non sono mai riuscito a eliminare. Chissà quale potrebbe essere il problema?
I have considered buying one of these to use with my headrush MX5 emulator. The mx5 have a ton of stuff but i kinda lack a bit of ekstra stuff and pedals to shape my sound when im live. Having a unit like this with ready to go ekstra effects to use could be super cool. I dont know how well it goes together with emulators though.
@@sergioserramusic I wouldnt imagine it would do anything surprisingly different. Im probably gonna try it. Someone wanna sell one to me for quite a good price, so its not gonna hurt to bad if it dosent work as i want
i used one for years and still have it a great effects unit. i used a midi mouse to switch the presets thanks for sharing
I perfectly agree! Switch-off and on each effect makes it almost unique. External drive and wah suggested to get the top from it.
Hi Great video I still have it, this unit is amazing God bless

The the Stomp is great, but switching effects on and off and changing between presents isn’t instant and it bothers me a lot

@@Weloz92 magari l’alimentazione, potresti aver qualche loop di massa. Prova a staccare e attaccare le prese o a mettere tutto in un’unica presa

@@andytheguitarist472 I don’t know, I only used it live with my tube amp and pedals, and it’s great!

Looks like an update on a Yamaha DG-Stomp
i still have mine. the one problem i have of it is the drive footswitch which lags when you activate drive.
@@aceman42 mh weird, mine doesn’t 🤔
@@sergioserramusic is there a setting to change the lag? its pretty significant when compared to footswitch/button on any single pedal.
@@aceman42 Nope. Maybe the switch has something wrong, does it do it also on the other foot switches?
Hi!
I have just been offered one of these.
Does it work properly with bass guitar?
I haven’t tested it with bass to be honest, if you can try it out!
