endyamon Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Hi everyone, I recently bought a Victory Kraken V4 Amp with 2 switchable channels and I am wondering if it is possible to use the HX Stomp XL in some smart way with the Kraken preamp. My target is to use only the HX Stomp XL to switch between patches that use channel 1 or 2 in the amp without using the amp's footswitch. I saw a video on YT and I know that this is possible with an additional piece of gear that converts MIDI to TRS signal, but this is quite expensive. I know that in FAQ it is explicitly said that, unlike Helix Floor/LT, the HX Stomp/XL don't have the "ext amp" socket (why? this is really so bad :( ) and so it is not possible to switch real amp channels, but I also read a comment in Reddit mentioning the usage of TRS cable in EXP1/2 socket for this purpose. Do you have any experience or suggestions? Or do you know if there are cheaper MIDI/TRS converters? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmalle Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Hi! The Stomp (XL) definitely can't switch the Kraken on it's own and an additional MIDI switcher is needed. A used Nobels MS4 or the PirateMIDI Click (not too happy with it's small TRS MIDI jacks) would be my budget suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
