Consider changing your underwear.

You can most likely find an overdrive pedal or two that are a significant improvement over the built-ins. I have a couple from Mesa Engineering that I run before the Stomp, which saves a block.

That’s interesting. I purchased my Stomp based on the existing feature set rather than any possible future updates.

Based on my admittedly limited understanding of this update, I’m going to even more patiently wait for 2.81. :-) I say this half jokingly, but it does appear that it’s not a minor update given what’s been reported as a convergence (?) of code among the platforms. I bought my Stomp based on its existing feature set, and it’s holding up quite well to date.

Absolutely. 6-2 delays leaves 4 more blocks to use!

I would keep the superego in the aresenal and not worry about trying to replicate it in the helix. I don’t think the helix comes anywhere near granular synthesis in any of its capabilities

Mine is Pitch shifter->Distortion->HX Stomp->Strymon BigSky I also have a Strymon Volante in the FX loop

Down to one guitar now - a Les Paul standard (with coil tapping features). Have my eye on a PRS DGT model, though...maybe a Christmas present to myself!

I haven’t used my Stomp as an interface, but there is info on USB signal routing on page 44 of the Stomp manual. It may be possible with a little creativity. Take a look there first.

An expression pedal (mission engineering works well) and an external reverb pedal (Strymon bigsky is awesome) which will free up a block on the stomp.

The HX stomp is a nice, small-footprint option

Cool! Just purchased today. For registered HX/Helix owners, it’s hard to argue with that price.

Sounds like the Tech21 MIDI mouse would fit your needs....that’s basically all it does.

MIDI implementation for the MC6: https://morningstar-engineering.github.io/MC6-MKII-Midi-Controller/site/09-midi-implementation/ I don’t see anything for simple status changes.
