HX stomp XL: 3 presets + 3 effects on switches?

[mtnman82]

Searched for a bit but didn't come across anything, looking to buy a Stomp XL for a more compact setup than the Floor.  Wondering if I can set up the XL so that the bottom 3 switches, down/A/B, switch between presets, and the upper 3 switches, up/C/D, turn on/off effects for selected preset?

 

Can I do the above and also set up the mode switch to switch between the 3+3 switch setup described and be able to select preset banks where the up/down buttons work to select presets?

 

In other words:  Have the 6 programmable switches set up for bottom 3 to select presets & top 3 to turn on/off effects in selected preset.  Then if I want a different bank of presets -> hit the mode switch, use up/down switches to scroll between preset banks, then hit the mode switch again to have switches set up for bottom 3 presets and top 3 effects.

 

And all this displayed on the screen, of course?

 

Thanks a bunch!

Hi,

 

Check this video from Steve Sterlacci which may answer some of your questions. Steve has done lots of videos on this subject, so you might want to look at some of the others too.

 

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Thanks Data, I appreciate the reply.  I’ve watched several of Steve’s and other videos but it’s still not clear to me if the XL can be set up as I described.  Seems like it might be doable, but not being able to mess around in command center with an XL myself it’d be neat if someone could confirm before I buy.

Wanted to follow up on this:  Yes I can assign the lower 3 footswitches to presets in command center.  When each preset is selected, upper 3 footswitches are assigned to  control stomps in that selected preset.  Footswitches to select the presets need to be programmed in each preset using command center.  Global Settings: preset numbers 000~127, stomp mode footswitches set to 6 switches.

 

So this allows you to effectively program up 'banks' of 3 presets in stomp view, switching between 'banks' via preset mode, with 3 footswitches to control stomps in each preset. Pretty cool!!!  Think I'll add a Dunlap DVP4 to have the complete setup in compact form factor...
