Recently watching some real ones in use on youtube, I miss this model from my POD. Yes, technically I could just use the SLO model... anyone else miss it as much as I do? Is there a way to get a similar tone?

I am thinking that, however also, when the volume knob on that pedal is at 0 (or its lowest) it still clips. It also had true Bypass/ Buffered select, but while on that shouldn't be effecting anything

I recently purchased a catalinbread 4x40 "soft focus" to get my shoegaze on. On patches with no dirt it works in spades. However, in a patch containing the blocks Deluxe Comp > Tone sovereign > brit j45 nrm/4x12 greenback 20 > noise gate > FX loop L + Vintage Digital (delay) in parallel, the reverb in the fx loop clips. I have the send and returns all set to instrument level in the global settings, but it still clips. Is there a reason the HX stomp sends too hot a level even at unity gain? I have the output boosted 10db, but that is after the fx loop. I also tested with my alesis MIDIverb II (can you tell I love shoegaze) and no clipping. Is this pedal specific? Should I reach out to catalinbread?

On a lighter note, am I the only one who has to play Joe Raposo's Three's Company theme whenever you use the "colorful" wah? I've always wondered what wah he used.. It sounds the same on all the work he did for CTW and Sesame

Ok backed up just the global settings, the m-audio pedal is now working as it should.

will this overwrite my presets?

how do I do this?

Did go into global settings, set the tip polarity inverted, then assinged the wah to exp 2 in HX edit. It works but in reverse.. and it used work as exp 1, which all the blocks default to..

yes, as all my presets transferred over so I assume yes.

I have an HX stomp with 3.1 firmware on it now, and my m-audio expression pedal no longer works with it. As I rock the pedal I get either an "expression 1 active" or "expression 2 active" message. I am trying to assign it for position on a wah block. I had no problems with the previous firmware, is this a bug in 3.1?

Thanks folks! you answered what I already assumed. I had read other threads concerning IR size and sample rates. Now I'm wondering if there is something on the market though that can do accoustic IRs. I'm thinking besides software, nothing hardware based is reality yet.

I have reverb IRs I use in reason, can you use accoustic space IRs in HX stomp? I assuming the intent is to model cabinets.

In response to the amsdenj post getting lots of traction lately, I ask, what is your favorite pedal not modeled in the HX stomp that you leave in the fx return? I myself have much love for the z.vex lo-fi junky. It can't be recreated. It stays in my effects loop. What are your favorites you just can't live without that aren't modeled in the HX stomp?

yea I'm gonna play with cab sims on the solo lead. The x88 was essentially a pre-amp version of a soldano sl-100 so I should be able to dial something in the ballpark.

oh it's updated. And I'm well aware of the models it does have. I am lamenting the loss of my favorite which happened to be that x88 preamp model. Is one of the hi-gain amps sonicly similar? I'm trying to recreate my patches
