Carlos_Danger Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Trying out my new Amplifi 150. One thing I don't like is the lack of lead boost. Hoping that a footswitch is in the cards for the future. Has anyone tried a stomp box in front of the Amplifi? Anyone know which iStomp pedal works best? Will be testing myself after work today.

charlyg Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I have 5 iStomps and the Soul Food. I also have an 11R that I just got yesterday, so I will be putting the Soul Food in the front end, and the iStomps in the FX loop of the 11R. I would try the selections in the Amplifi to use what you can from what's there, and program the iStomp for whatever you want. Just note that the iStomp pedals have a huge algorithm so chances are it may sound better than what's in the Amplifi. I am setting mine for everything but dirt, and will give it all a shot later when my PROM2 arrives today in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone tried a stomp box in front of the Amplifi? try the FBV Express or shortboard MKII for footswitches. the shortboard MKII has a stomp switch which can enable any of the stomp FX in the app - things like "boost and EQ", tube drive, screamer, etc. instead of that you could use the volume fx block to set the min to 80% and max to 100% (or whatever you like) and use the expression pedal as your lead boost. heel is normal, toe is lead boost. I've not tried a stomp yet, but it's on my list of things to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos_Danger Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 So... You are saying that the FBV Express will allow me to kick the stompbox on and off? I heard it just worked to switch patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I was saying the express and short board are available as foot switches and specifically the short board can do what you want. Just take a look at a pic of the express, there's only the 4 preset switches and expression. But if as a boost you would only need more volume then the expression could be used.

RNRage Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 So the Shortboard will allow you to toggle effects on and off on the amplifi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
