I like creating my presets around the guitar. I have a high gain patch for my Les Paul, and one for my Telecaster that are completely different from each other.
-
Have you considered the HX Effects?
-
Can this thread be closed?
-
What’s your budget?
-
I use both of these with my Stomp...they work very well
-
One thing that might make sense for new hardware is if they go down the path of polyphonic synth/pitch shift and the current processors can’t keep up
-
The Tech 21 MIDI Mouse does allow you to switch up/down presets, but that’s its only function

Purchasing the hx stomp. Is 6 blocks enough for me?
Kevin-M replied to willyjacksonjs22's topic in Helix
Absolutely will help in that regard. -

Kevin-M replied to willyjacksonjs22's topic in Helix
That’s a question only you can answer. Six blocks gets you quite a bit, or not nearly enough depending on what sound you’re trying to create -
I’d start by researching what gear (effects) he uses first and then see what models of those effects you have on the HXE. The Diezel and Marshall amp combination that I think he uses are pretty damn nice sounding, but would be very pricey. Diezel does make a VH-4 distortion pedal which sounds great, imo.

Does the hardware have better response than the plugin?
Kevin-M replied to willyjacksonjs22's topic in Helix
I ran an instance of Native alongside my Stomp using an amp selector switch and the difference in the two was pretty negligible at worst. My laptop is a nicer multicore Intel - circa 2012 - with 16G RAM and an RME Fireface - USB 2.0 -
2G RAM sounds pretty low to me. Also, are these older systems? Those processors you listed seem like they might be pretty old ones.

I agree with arkieboy....polyphony tends to be very comprised on guitar synths that don’t process each string separately. It’s getting better, but still not there.
-
I also have buzzing when my Stomp is plugged into my laptop AND I’ve started my DAW (I don’t use the Stomp as my audio interface). For me, it’s a simple fix....just unplug it when using my DAW, but it’s certainly interesting.
-
I’d put any pitch effect before the helix.
-
How many people would like to see a medium size Helix?
Kevin-M replied to Retro-Rick's topic in Helix
That would get my vote. For me, the Stomp form factor is great as part of a pedal board. -
Outside of Cakewalk (ie, in the asio control panel from Windows only), can you see the entire list?
-
Yes, the Send jack is stereo, so that’s exactly how you can connect to your Strymon
-
Helix won’t send MIDI note on/off data.
-
Nice one, Fletch! :-)
-
I don’t see how they could be since there is only one TRS input on the Stomp for a switch/expression pedal.
-
Are the latest versions of drivers, native, and HX edit all supposed to be compatible with Win 7? I sure hope so, since I still use Win 7 on my music laptop.

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.
