For this I'm aiming for a biting rhythym tone that can clean up with playing dynamics. The plexi jump is great sounding and does clean up but the low attack-clean notes really jump out very similar to having a compressor on. I find myself scratching my head as this doesn't feel like what I'm used.

Thanks for the recommendation. I actually keep a KOT in between my tuner and HX stomp for boost duties. I use the HX stomp for delays/modulation and pre-amp models for drive/crunch/lead tones. Looks like the grammatico is a 5e3 clone and the litigator has nods to dumble?

I have recently learned that some of the modeled effects are not modeled to be true bypass. For example the fuzz pedals and the cosmos echo delay have lower input impedances. Try making a blank patch and comparing. It would be one of the effects you have bypassed in your current patch which us causing the dullness.

In the cosmos echo delay model What is "FB tone" and how is this different than the treble and bass controls?

I run my HX stomp into a squeaky clean tube amp and have been using the plexi jump pre-amp as a dirty channel. What are some other good pre-amp models for this? I'm looking for better dynamics than the plexi jump model. I feel like there is too much compression when backing off on pick attack to clean up the signal.

I recently stumbled onto an article explaining two different paths for me to update my HX stomp. I currently have an older firmware version and I believe I need to update to an intermediate version before moving to the latest version. However, I cannot find this article anywhere. Please help me so I don't screw up my unit trying to update. I currently have firmware 2.65.0 installed and running on my HX Stomp
