Thanks for the clarification. It did seem like 3A was an awful lot for the unit. I found a (hopefully) quality 3A unit on Amazon which is already here and already working fine. But I just hate the barrel connector and sure wish there had been room for an honest to god AC plug on the Stomp. I know its the base model, etc but its not really a piece of pro gear imho if its dependent on that kind of connector. The form factor fits my needs tho, so I will repair the original wall wort as a backup and then shut up and play my guitar. (I have the exact Fluke multimeter in the video and it is a rock solid piece of gear!)

Joining late but I'm wondering where the 1 amp spec comes from? The OEM unit and the HX Stomp both say 3A. Does it only draw 1 amp or less??

OH, that was a great suggestion! I never use those but the dynamic room with very short delay really does make it sound more natural. Our mix is stereo to FOH so this may work well. Eager to try it out. For some songs the acoustic just adds a lot and my PRS electric really just sounds meh with the acoustic sims. thanks

It does help, thank you. I took a bit of everyone's advice and started over. I think its better - at least in the headphones. Ill have to test in the mix of course. Craig you make some good points about the room tone etc. I know its not going to sound like my practice room, but I like the approach and did add a midrange notch (not very narrow tho). @ silverhead, I also found a Taylor 814 IR online Placater Clean Pre-Amp (with not a lot of drive) > Simple EQ (remove a bit of Low and Mid gain) > IR Taylor 814 SM57 > 10 Band EQ, notched at 1K We'll see if my bass player still says it sounds like crap! He's hard to please :)

Thanks for the feedback. When I say good in real life I do mean acoustically. Would love to have more of that come through. As for monitoring, the split to the guitar cab is a great idea but we use IEMs, so I dont have to worry about that as Im hearing my usual in ear mix. But no one has said my block layout is deeply flawed so that is encouraging. I;ll try some other IRs and see if I can perhaps dial in a better eq as well. I think/thought the K&K pickup was pretty decent for this type of dreadnaught body so hopefully it is. Please chime in if you have other signal chain suggestions!

I must not be using the search tool correctly, bc there must be dozens if not hundreds of posts on this already but I just can't find them - so point me to old discussions if you know where they are. I've been using an HX Stomp for a few years and its great. Built/bought/borrowed some nice patches for my electric guitar. I also play mandolin and have a patch for that and it sounds pretty nice, pretty true acoustic: Studio Tube Pre > IR (Mart 45 piezo)>LA Studio Comp>Slight Plate Reverb. I have no idea if that is legit setup or signal path for acoustic input, but it sounds good. THE PROBLEM: I am starting to play a couple songs in the set on my Taylor Acoustic guitar, and it just doesn't sound that great through the Stomp. And it sounds soooo good in real life. (Taylor 810 with a K&K Pure Western pickup.) So what am I missing, or what am I looking for here? Who can tell me how that pickup is different from the K&K Mandolin Twin, or what else I should be considering to get a better acoustic sound? Thanks!

not sure if you ever found an answer but Im sure you know that DL was often playing a lap steel or pedal steel on those songs, so maybe part of what we think of there are the overtones and/or open tunings? not super helpful, but maybe a place to start for that tone. Its iconic and I rarely hear it duplicated by cover bands thats for sure

For some reason I cant get onto the ideascape page, even with correct login credentials.... and I have spent all the time I can spare looking for the best place to post this feature suggestion...anyway: is there a way to have the aux input on the HX stomp be seen by the Tuner? This would be a feature I would use a lot. My electric goes into the input and my acoustic gets routed into the Return/Aux In (L). Works perfectly for my needs...with the exception of the tuner function for the acoustic. thx!

Morley M2 Passive Volume Pedal as Expression Pedal with HX Stomp Thanks to several who posted previously about getting non Line 6 pedals working as Expression pedals. It does work. There are several earlier descriptions about getting pedals like the Morley M2 working, but there is one additional piece of information that will be ESSENTIAL for some Morley owners: Although the circuit board is labeled as 10K ohms, some of the Morleys were actually built with 1M ohm slide resistors. (Inspect the pot itself, it will be labeled in some way, a value or part number, or slap an ohm meter on it.) They're not going to work no matter how you jumper them. In my case I was able to find a 10k with the same physical dimensions (common - the good folks at Morley sent me one). Replace the 1M ohm with the 10K Ohm unit and the pedal will work perfectly with a STEREO (TRS) cable. I have several shorter mono (TS) cables, so I removed the connection to pot leg 3 and jumpered it to pot leg 1 and the pedal works great with a mono cable. * you are connecting the pedal OUTPUT to the EXP input
