I am abandoning the HX Stomp for now and I'm gonna save up for a Quad Cortex. I borrowed one last weekend and it definitely does what I need, albeit expensively, lol.Stomp can send midi commands to itself, if you use 2 inch midi cable, for example. Pretty funny.
Faultline, please note expression pedal and two extra footswitches both use Exp 1/2 input. You can use MIDI expression pedal and extra footswitches dimultaneously.
I believe you could use chorus on/off via switch and "chorusy distortion" on/off via another switch. Multiple instances of same effect are allowed.
