Can HX Stomp run on batteries?
No.
The chassis gets a bit warm after a while. Is that normal?
Yes. HX Stomp isn’t a budget modeler—it’s a hardcore, professional solution with four circuit boards (one with 12 layers) crammed with serious analog and digital circuitry that happens to have been meticulously squeezed into a tiny chassis. It’s gonna put off a bit of heat. Totally normal.
If you connect all the jacks on the sides, it kinda looks like an octopus.
The most commonly used jacks are all on the back. Besides, octopuses are awesome. Have you seen them open jars?
Excuse me, but the plural of octopus is octopi.

Now.
I just bought a Helix Stomp and was planning on using my Voodoo Labs 4x4 to power it.... could you expand on how you used 2 9v outputs on that unit? I have a voltage doubler cable that will use two outputs with one jack ..... or do I need to use the red 2.5mm reverse polarity cable?
