10 Button Stomp Layout suggestions

[themetallikid]

So... After seeing the thread (maybe it was on TGP, IDK) about a 10 button Stomp Mode layout...I thought I'd try this approach to make me some 'pedalboards' of sounds.

 

So....   Thinking maybe one of my setlists would be dedicated to this approach.  If I'm understanding right, I could get 10 sounds on a 'bank'.  I'd have to have the same 10 presets set up so that in Stomp  mode they all show the same 10 presets in the same slots, correct?

 

While in preset 1, I have presets 2-10 listed.  When I go to preset 7, I still see the same 1-10 presets listed.  Correct?

 

So that would mean that if I wanted 3 or 4 different styles of pedalboards at my disposal, I'd need 30 or 40 presets.  And any duplicate sounds between those pedalboards (clean, breakup for example) would have to have duplicate preset slots, as each preset slot would be referencing a different 'group of 10' for that pedalboard style. Correct?

 

If my above assumption is correct...

 

 

What are your 10 preset type suggestions?  I'm thinking maybe a Dance Rock (Mellencamp, Tommy Tutone, Rick Springfield type music), 80's Rock (Poison, Bon Jovi type stuff), Hard Rock (Metallica etc), and maybe a Country style board.

Yes, you could do what you describe. This would essentially be duplicating what you can already do in Preset mode, albeit  referencing only 8 presets simultaneously instead of 10. What you would lose, though, is the ability to use the footswitches for their primary purpose, namely turning individual FX models on and off within a preset. So you would end up with two ways to do one thing (select different presets) and no way to do what, to me, is a very important thing, namely turn FX on/off with a footswitch.

 

Seems to me you have a solution looking for a problem. I think the current design of Preset/Stomp modes is a better approach.

I think you could more easily do the same thing without sacrificing use of the footswitches within the presets by simply using an external MIDI controller to be your "Directory" and select whatever style of preset you need for any given song.
