HX Stomp Pedalboard integration - help

[estikei]

Hi, 

 

I would like to integrate my HX Stomp into my pedalboard, as I have a few pedals that I just like using more physically versus digitally. 

 

Basically the chain should be

• Guitar into HX stomp
• Noise gate in HX stomp input
• Into HX stomp compressor
• Into physical boost pedal and a variety of dirt pedals (that I like to change) 
• Into amp
• (POTENTIALLY) looping back the dirt into HX Stomp to add Wah
• Using the Amp FX Loop send into HX Stomp Return, having a physical reverb pedal in the loop before
• Adding Delay / Chorus / Modulation /... in HX stomp
• Sending back to Amp 

 

It is the part where the FX loop comes into the picture that I don't get. 

It is only tomorrow when I get back to my board, but I'm thinking of A/B split after the compressor with 100% on A, and looping back the FX into path B, adding the delay afterwards. But then where do I go? Do I let B filter back into A? Then it would go into output main as well. 

I don't think I understand the FX loop. 

 

Also, what if I'd like to use my dirt pedals, but use the HX Stomp for Wah... AFTER all the dirt pedals? 

 

Also, what if I'd like to do the same thing, but with a Tweed amp that doesn't have an FX loop? Guitar into input, all my hardware pedals into FX loop, loop back into HX stomp, use the Wah in HX Stomp and then go out via the output into Reverb and from there into the amp?

 

Please be patient with me. So far, HX Stomp was my travel rig for when I would go on holiday or on business trips. 

Now, I'd like to make it a permanent part of my board and throw out some pedals that I don't like versus what's integrated in HX Stomp. 

 

Thanks for your support

Hi.You have about 11 different questions in 5 sub parts and it's a bit difficult to follow. But I can say this....your end game is pretty similar to what I was trying to do. Yes, you can have HX effects along with your physical pedals before the preamp of your real amp. Yes you can also have a physical reverb pedal before other effects in your loop. It gets a bit complicated though....well not complicated but it's a more involved setup.

 

Search for this forum, "Stomp XL with H9 and 4CM hookup". In there you will see a diagram that shows you how to do it. You'll need an additional insert cable (y). Then, within your signal chain you will need to add a RETURN block that returns your reverb back into the Stomp. I have done this, except I stuck a Madusa chorus pedal back in. It works, but it's noisy. I haven't played with it enough yet, but the chorus digital pedals are so good in Helix, IDK....I may just dump the entire physical pedal idea.anyway, for the most part you can do what you want to do. If you can be more specific with one or two items you're trying to do, it will help the people here that are far more smart than me!!!

 

good luck.
