An internal AC power supply would make no sense on a unit such as the Stomp. A) It'd add to the size and weight. B) This is meant to be pedalboard-friendly and most people running somewhat larger pedalboards already have a multiout PSU, so all you need is likely a current double and an adapter plug (the latter obviously being just because of Line 6's stupid decision to use a non-standard barrel plug).

Fwiw, I'm running my Stomp from 500mA outlets with a (dedicated, because of the utterly stupid 2.5mm barrel plug) current doubler cable ever since I got it. Has seen 3 different multiout PSUs as well. Zero issues. And I also have a single cheap 2A PSU (10 bucks or so at Thomann) with an extra 2.5mm plug soldered onto it, which I'm using whenever I need the Stomp as a standalone unit. No issues, either.

If it doesn't play from there already, go to 5:20:

No. In fact, a rather suitable way would be to capture the amp using the instructions and capturing abilities of Tone3000, take a handful of captures of the best amp sounds and then use the NAM plugin to play them back inside Logic. Works really, really well and isn't too tough to do, either. No need for "realtime" re-amping, you'd only use the Stomp to feed the amp with a proper signal of the recorded DI track (which it is very good at), then listen and adjust through the HP out of the Volt and finally record the testfile sent through the amp to upload it to Tone3000 which would then create a NAM capture. Best of all: All of this is completely free.

There's likely gonna be a plethora of space for IRs. At least that's what Eric Klein said. Add to this that there's an SD card slot, so you will likely be able to use that for IR storage, too.

I would respectfully disagree. Some of the clean amps are serviceable, sometimes even good. But anything dirt is horrible. And the guy is used to the Stomp's quality already. If at all, I'd rather get Helix Native.

Yes, an aggregate device should work just fine for that very task. It'd also be possible the way he has things set up, for that to work the DI take's channel output would have to be set to USB 5/6 of the Stomp and inside the Stomp the input would have to be set to USB 5/6. You can then feed a send of the Stomp to the amp - the DAW return is located after that. The downside with this method being that you can't monitor the guitar amp signal on the Volt interface simultaneously (unless Logic was set to software monitoring, but that'll cause quite some latency in this scenario). Nah, he says that the DI track will go out to his then mic'ed up amp.

May I ask why?

Set the switch up to work as switch 3 (or whatever it is on the XL) in the global settings, then configure it in the Command Center.

Sure, I know. But that's not HX Edit - and it's offering the same (or similar) tactile experience, whereas HX Edit won't.

IIRC, Eric Klein said that focus view wouldn't even be in whatever new versions of HX Stadium Edit. I might remember wrong, though, but I think it's kinda plausible because a lot of that is about tactile experience.

Can't exactly recognize it, but as you say it's rubber, it might be the "cushion" for the toe portion of the pedal. Did it really fall out or could it as well just been that it fell off?

For me, the Stadium series is MUCH MUCH more than capturing (or new amp modeling tech). In fact, pretty much anything else is exciting me much more than that. For starters, so far it looks as if this will be the device to deliver the best on unit editing experience by quite a wide margin. And in case I ever get one in my hands, it's very likely gonna be the pedal-less vanilla version, so I can slap it onto a stand and never ever touch an editor again. From all I know, it'll also have two stomp/control pages, which is something I always wished for.

Yes, there are. The latter is correct. Anything currently included in the HX line will be included in the new Stadium line, minus one exception, namely the old dual cabs. Any when you think about it, it's the only way things make sense, otherwise the new hardware couldn't load your old patches.

What kinda updates would you actually expect? I mean, it's a 10 year old platform and it's pretty mature for what it is. Personally, I would wish for quite some stuff, but as all of that would be functionality related, I don't actually expect any of it to ever materialize anymore. We may get some "leftover" things originally made for the new hardware in case the old hardware is still suitable to run them, but others than that, I think the OG HX platform has merely run its course. And I think that's kinda fine.

If they will do it, it'll be tied to the Stadium Hardware.

Ok, gotcha. Yes, that might be useful in some situations.

So it's kinda like restarting the waveform of whatever modulation it might be?

How is that supposed to work? I mean, how is hitting that switch again syncing with a new tempo?

Well, at least it'll happen with the next (Stadium) generation.

You could always ask in their FB group. I got macros for everything I needed there. And in this case it should even be possible without scripting, all you'd need is a big button displaying numbers and receiving MIDI CCs.

I'm quite sure that this would be somehow possible with TouchOSC.

Unfortunately, the answer is no.

The easiest solution: Don't use IRs unless you *really* have to. For me, following that guideline, meant ending up with exactly 2 cab IRs (which are my main live IRs) and 3 IRs to enhance both my nylon and steel string acoustics. For anything else I'm using the internal cabs, which actually are excellent since their last major revision. I could possibly even get away without my live IRs, but I have tweaked them in a way that, at least for me, they're working incredibly well regardless of the musical and/or technical environment.

Fortunately, that's irrelevant since some FW revisions back. The only thing a patch needs is the IR to be present on your device. And in case you're using more than 128 IRs, you better keep track of them manually.
