Hey all,
I've had my Stomp for about a week and while the UI is great, I'm really disappointed with how its taking my already existing pedal board, specifically, my overdrives.
Signal chain is Guitar - Walrus Deep Six, EHX POG, Walrus Julia, JHS Superbolt, Kilt and Morning Glory into the front of the Stomp. Im using the stereo fx loop for Strymon Timeline and Bigsky and placing that after the IRs in the Stomp.
Inside the Stomp, I'm running either a mono Fawn, Deluxe Vib, Matchstick Ch1 or Ch2 into parallel OwnHammer IRs (although I've tried just one IR) into the stereo FX loop and out to either flat response reference CIEMs at home, or out to the big PA at the places I play.
I've attached an example of my AC30 patch. No global EQ is engaged. I've got low cuts on the IRs at 80-90hz and hi cuts at 10kHz - but as soon as I start gain stacking into the HX, it just falls apart into compression. I've got my drives set at or below unity gain. I'm not pushing crazy levels into it.
What am I doing wrong with this thing?
