Well . . . no. Not really. You have too many wish lists going on there. Now, in my opinion there is a Line 6 product that comes pretty close. It's the Firehawk 1500 - an FRFR system with a pretty advanced internal stereo sound. It's actually what I use for the Stomp and I think it's a glorious solution. It even has its own modelling system (Firehawk i.e. legacy Line 6 effects) which you can tap into if you have a really complex signal chain going on in the Stomp (which occasionally, I do, and it works great). However, there is one caveat. It weighs a ton. I really can't envision any technology you tap into trying to do what you want to do not weighing a decent amount. Unless you start buying multiple FRFR speakers - but then you're carrying more product around. So it's a trade off either way. Firehawk 1500 is 63 pounds. It's a beast to lug around. You really need to buy the travel case (which is excellent) to make it gig worthy. After all that you're getting pretty pricey. Best case is below: Firehawk - $1000 Case - $200 Standard Music Company 15% off deal: $1020 for both. That's kind of a pricey move for the love of stereo, but it is a glorious sounding amp. When I bought it, it was to be my primary gig ready modeler, and I loved it. Then the HX Stomp came out and I just HAD to have it and was glad the two integrated well. However, I still believe the most practical choice for Stomp users is the Powercab solution. You can even get the IR ready model and save a block in the Stomp.

The challenge of the Stomp - amazing routing possibilities with an artificially enforced 6 block limit. I don't know that there is a perfect solution. If it were me, I would skip having the Stomp control your delays. So, for example, rather than leave the delays always on - leave them always off. Have one FX send block that is always on, with both delays on the SAME loop, and manually engage the delays when needed. It seems like this would give you the same result while only using one block. You just have to use switches beyond the Stomp's. Still not perfect for simplicity's sake.

What's really odd, is that it even has a spot where you ought to be able to insert emojis . . . Hopefully it never got finished because Helix 2.8 takes all their time and focus.

While this won't help you with your issue, it has inspired me to never attach another image again. For that I thank you. Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed by the people of this forum for years to come.

I bought the tablet linked below and it worked great. I'm also linking one that's even cheaper below it that I've seen recommended before (though I can't vouch from personal experience). https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Wifi-Tablet-Black/dp/B075VSG1TQ/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Samsung+Galaxy+Tab+A+SM-T380+Tablet+8&qid=1554740374&s=gateway&sr=8-3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07193VPNF/ref=psdc_1232597011_t2_B075VSG1TQ

I haven't downloaded the patch, but what is it exactly? Why do you need a patch to use the Stomp has a Helix Native interface? It was already built for that purpose.

Yeah it shouldn't do that ...

I think you'll find most users on here skip the real traditional amp (well, unless they're HX Effects users). I don't see much point in using a pre-amp in your scenario. I guess if you like coloring it. Standard use is either amp + cab or amp + IR. The IR is a substitute for the cab, so no, don't layer them up (unless you split path it - that's another thing entirely though). It's not technically BAD to have a pre-amp - but I think they are higher usage DSP and it's kind of like having a pre-amp in real life feed into a full amplifier+Cab. There are peeps who do it on here on purpose and treat pre-amps kind of like distortion pedals. Those users tend to be full Helix users though. Because the Stomp has fewer blocks and oomph, I usually focus on getting there by either changing the amp/cab blocks through snapshot changes, OR through distortion pedals. Ultimately though, you're not going to break it. If it sounds awesome - SWEET - keep it. Still, what I describe above is the traditional starting point.

Honestly, it just sounds like you need to increase your buffer size. No big deal.

We've already seen a few posters on here who had phantom power kill their sound. We've had others it was fine . . . but it does seem to impact the Stomp just like it does the full size Helix.

If it were me I'd open a ticket with Line 6, and then if that still didn't help I'd reach out to Mission Engineering. It's always possible you have a borked pedal, and if so, it should be replaced.

For me this was always my approach for amps I'm unfamiliar with. I read the Helix help, and then I search for the original amp on youtube and demonstrations of what it could do, and then try to recreate it in the HX.

I think you're making this a bit harder than it needs to be. I guess it depends a bit on how many effects you actually want BEFORE the Stomp's amp/cab block (or IR), but just how many are you wanting to have? The HX Stomp and the HX effects have identical everything except the amps themselves, and the HX effects has more footswitches. Generally though, the easiest way is to let the HX Stomp handle the amp and pre amp effects (so place the amp/cab at the VERY end of the Stomp's chain) then chain it directly into the HX effects and let it handle all post effects. This setup is simple. Guitar in to Stomp, Stomp main out into HX effects main in, then out HX Effects main out. If you don't want to do that it becomes a bit more of a hairball, but it would look like this: Guitar in to HX Effects "Left Mono Input." 1/4 out HX effects Send 1 into HX Stomp main in. 1/4 out HX Stomp FX send into HX Effects Return 1. 1/4 out HX Effects Send 2 into HX Stomp FX left Return. 1/4 out HX Stomp left main output into HX Effects FX Return 2. 1/4 out HX Effects left mono output. Internal chains would have this structure: HX Effects Pre amp effects >>> FX send/return block >>>> post amp effects FX Send/Return Block HX Stomp Pre amp effects >>> Amp Block >>> FX send/return block >>> Post amp effects. Doing this should get exactly what you want. It's a bit complicated, and you lose a few blocks due to FX block send/returns, so you gain a few but not as many as you'd think.

Well, I'm more disturbed that the footswitch isn't working as it's supposed to. Especially since that's one of the more expensive foot switches. If the above is all set but it still didn't work, you might want to open a support ticket or contact Mission Engineering to see if yours is defective. Unfortunately, the only solution is to know what your actual temp is and manually set it in the delay (by using beats per minute, or the note setting such as quarter, whole, etc.). Personally, I used to mess around with tuner and tap tempo on the external switches, but ended up just preferring it on FS3. I use external switches for either a expression pedal, or snapshot changes since I tend to think snapshots works better anyway. Still, this out to work so it's frustrating it's not.

Well, anytime you use a traditional amp it limits you there somewhat. You probably wouldn't want to use a cab block or IR, just amp. To do it, deactivate or replace FX send block in Stomp so that the signal is going direct into Amp fx return instead of also going through pre amp. The one downside here is I believe it will cut off your modulation section of the Cerberus. If you wanted to use its modulation section and still Stomp amps and not real, I'd probably wire like this: Guitar in Cerberus in. Cerberus distortion out to HX Stomp main in. HX Stomp FX send to modulation in. Modulation out to HX Stomp FX Return. HX Stomp main left out to Amp FX Return. Place the FX send/return block directly after the amp/cab model in the Stomp. With the above, I believe all Cerebus distortion should be before Stomp amp, and all modulations after. Your real amp won't have preamp sound. That's assuming I'm picturing the Cerebus chain correctly.

Well, I hope I understand your current routing right. I'd start with the following: 1. Guitar———input of the cerberus 2. Input of drive sections — out output of drive section >>>> left main in Stomp >> out stomp fx send >>> front of the amp. 3. Out amp fx send >>> input of modulation section >>>> out output of modulation section >>> in fx left return HX Stomp. 4. Out HX Stomp left main out >>>> in Amp fx return. Use one of the Stomp's 4CM presets to see how to set up the Stomp's internal presets.

I don't own a nux Cerberus so I'd be just kind of guessing. What have you done with the nux Cerberus in the past?

You can't use the USB cable to connect to a phone. You have to use the app on your phone through blue tooth to connect to the Firehawk. The USB cable is for updating the device through a PC, or for recording to a DAW on the PC.

That pedal was pretty much advertised to work with the Stomp, so there's got to be a way to do this. Either we're missing a step, or something was set up wrong. The next step would be to check if your cable is a TRS cable. Realistically that doesn't sound like the problem here, but I've seen weird issues and limitations so it's where I usually start in giving advice. Next, I'd check both switches just to make sure one isn't having issues. To do that, I'd make sure the following global switches are set: Global Settings > Preferences 1. Exp/FS Tip - Set to "FS4" 2. Exp/FS Ring - Set to "FS5" Global Settings > Footswitches 1. FS3 function - Set to "Stomp 3." 2. FS4 function - set to "Tap/Tuner" 3. FS5 function - Set to "Stomp 5 at first, then once you've tested it swap so that FS4 is stomp and FS5 is tap/tuner. Let me know what you find out with the above. If it still won't work I can try to bang my head against the wall some more!

There are midi looper controls, so if you could have the initial signal that gets the other pedals activated match the looper controls, it is possible.

That would indicate that you have the footswitch set to latch instead of momentary.

Well, and not to flaunt policy or encourage selling them, but it's hard to foresee this poster running into problems if they sell rather than return.

Agreed x10. $99 bucks and you're golden.

Where you've already paid, you're golden.

Both work perfectly fine. So far the only issue I've felt you have to be aware of with the Stomp or Helix is if phantom power gets sent back to the HX. Particularly if it can't be shut off, sometimes that can diminish the Stomp's sound capabilities. If that happens you need a DI box or some adapter that stops phantom power.
