I use my HX Stomp with a tube amp, as part of a pedalboard. I like the idea of freeing up blocks (and DSP power) in the HX Stomp. I use an overdrive before the HX, either setup as a clean boost or to push the amp into overdrive. After that I have a second overdrive set to full lead sound. Still before the HX Stomp I have a cheap Acoustic simulator pedal (cuz Stairway to Heaven!)... after the HX Stomp I have a looper and a EQ. I just recently added a expression pedal and I'm getting used to it.
To power it all I use an MXR ISO Brick. To control it all I use a loop switcher. I fit everything on a Pedaltrain Classic Jr.
I built this thing myself over several months and sometimes I feel like I could have had more functionality and sound options (for less money) with a full Helix... but this is modular and a lot of fun! :D
