optofonik Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 The Zoom MS-70CDR patched into the HX Stomp's loop, the Stomp patched into the HX Effects loop, the HXFX patched into the one of the ES-8 stereo loops, all standalone left field pedals patched into the rest of the ES-8 loops. Surely this has already been done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Are you saying you've done this, or wondering if anybody else has? My concerns would be: 1) Who can remember what combination of buttons does what? 2) Once you have the ES8 configured to switch the HXFX vis MIDI, and the HXFX to MIDI the Stomp, and the Stomp (when it gets Command Center in 3.0) to MIDI the Zoom, or vice versa, and all your external pedals configured, that's several MILLION possible configurations. See 1). 3) If you patch this "doll" into a high-gain amp, will you be able to hear the guitar through all the noise? 4) Good Luck troubleshooting! 5) By the time you get it all worked out you'll have forgotten how to play guitar! I'm sure I'm not the only one here who hopes you're going to share whatever it is you're smoking.................:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optofonik Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hahaha, love all the replies. If it helps answer some questions . . . I started out on synthesizers in 1982. You guitarists were right after all, the level of expression one can get out of a guitar is better than a synthesizer. Even after running a guitar through a bunch of wacky effects, the "expression" inherent in playing a guitar can never be fully disappeared. That's a good thing. Also, the pieces I play tend to run about 6-10 minutes long so there isn't a lot of "tap dancing" between "songs". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
