Thanks Steve, we PA speakers are active, but I don't think they are true FRFR, they are just cheap Behringer ones (B112D) Aaah crap, it sounds like the Stomp isn't going to be for me then. All I wanted is for the sound to come out of the amp and from the PA, I didn't realise that would be such an issue. It's being delivered this afternoon but I guess I'll be sending it right back :(

Thanks Kilrahi, that's a few things I'll definitely try when it arrives today! I had a thought though - if I'm sending the signal to the real amp, AND to the FOH, should I set the Stomp to Line level or instrument level? The signal going to the mixer will need Line level I guess, but my amp will want instrument level? I usually plug into the front of my amp but I guess I could plug into the FX loop and bypass the preamp that way? It's a nice amp (Suhr Badger 35), but as you say, I have no idea how much colouring of the sound it'll do. Is what I'm proposing to do a bit unusual then? I assumed that having the signal going to the backline and to FOH would have been fairly normal?

Ah that's good to know! I am planning on setting the amp very clean and putting an external (strymon) overdrive pedal before the stomp - do you think that would also be fine? I've played with delay I the front of the amp in the past and I really wasn't keen. Basically I'd like to have the same sound that's coming from my guitar amp also coming out of FOH. I really hope I can do that with the Stomp - the full fat Helix and the LT are just too big for the stages I play on sadly.

Thanks for that! I can only run a mono signal to the PA as we're pretty much maxed on channels, so I'll just be taking one of the main outs to the desk. Do you think if I run the FX Send from the Stomp to the front of my amp, the time-based effects will sound bad because they aren't in the amp effects loop?

So I bought Stomp today – it should arrive tomorrow and I’m super stoked to get going with it! I’ve always been an analogue guy to this is going to be a bit of a crazy adventure for me I think :D Anyway, I have some (probably very basic) questions and I’m hoping you can help me. I’m going to be using my real guitar amp onstage and also sending my guitar out to the PA via the HX stomp (mono) My question is this – I’m going to run the HX Stomp out to the front of the guitar amp because I’d like to be able to use some of the HX amp tones. But my analogue brain is telling me that delay/modulation effects always need to go to my amp’s effects loop otherwise they’ll sound awful. Obviously if everything is running into the front of the amp then the delays etc will also be going into the front though. How do I ensure that time-based and modulation effects go through my amp’s effects loop?
