Helix/HX Stompers! I played and with the new update and came up with some patches I want to share. Basic meat and potatoes amp with an octave, chorus, and drive on top of using the split crossover for low-end compression. Enjoy!!

I am always willing to try other folks' presets. I discover new sounds and sometimes new paths/ways of doing things. Thank you.

Just managed to snag a TC hypergravity at a discount. Nothing magic but even the stock spectra comp is very useful. The fatter sustain notes can definitely be felt. Dead quiet as well. My Valeton GP-100 is now only used for EQ, tuner and IR (shift-line's SVT 8x10).

Pretty much settled for now but you guys got me curious on them empress comp lol.

I used to have the Hypergravity and I love it. Very underrated pedal

So this week I have watched a multitude of videos until click fatigue has set in...weary of the hunt I decided I needed to try something, see if I like it & go from there.

I considered the Tone Hammer, the Microtubes B7k Ultra, Tech 21 VBass & on the upper end the HX Stomp.

Ultimately I decided to order the Two Notes ReVolt Bass pedal. I liked the fact that there are separate volume knobs for the clean & drive channels (previous comments about the AGS circuit noted here). Also liked having seperate tone controls between the channels, with actual, simple knobs. It helps that Sweetwater had an open box special for $40 off.

So if I'm lucky & FedEx tracking is to believed - it should arrive tomorrow afternoon & I'll give it its first trial run on Sunday morning.

After I live with it for a while I'll create a review.

What's your opinion on the revolt? Worth getting or spend a little more on the super vintage?

The Stomp XL has the foot switches to go between modes. The smaller Stomp doesn't have that ability. As far as I can tell, you have to use the menu buttons to go between modes. The XL has 4 switches AND a tuner switch. The Stomp has 3 switches, one being a tuner. It just seems like if you want to get all you can from the Stomp, you need switches, and almost everyone uses added foot switches with their Stomp, so why not get them built in?

That said, I could also use my Tuner and Rolls IEM box with the Stomp on my Nano board. The tuner frees up a switch on the stomp, and I don't have to worry about the routing for IEM's. I still have the mode switching/preset scrolling issue though.

I have been using a Morningstar MC6 for that. I currently have a Cali76 Compact bass, HX Stomp and Morningstar MC6 on my board but I wanted more toys. I'm adding a Darkglass VMTD and B7k, Source Audio C4 and ST-200 tuner. THe VMTD will be always on with a bit of hair, the B7K for OD and the C4 for synth sounds. A couple of the presets on the MC6 will be dedicated to pedal emulation (Chorus, Phaser and something else). Bigger board, too. Nano+ to a Classic Jr. In my case, we are using Avioms for monitoring but will be switching to Stagewave in the new auditorium (December 20230.

got the SV yesterday. I love it so far through my amp at home. I'm on schedule this Sunday so I'll see how it sounds through FOH with the cab sim

The other thing that is limiting is funds. It's alot cheaper to spend money on pedals I know I will use rather than shell out a massive investment on the multi-effects.

I found the opposite to be true - I went analog (with nice pedals) and then got a HX Stomp and a Morningstar MC6 midi switcher and had money left over after I sold the analog pedals and paid for the digital equipment.

Of course, I liked the compression better on the Cali76CB and wanted to stack distortion so I now have a VMTD and a B7KU, liked the Source Audio C4...so now I have a composite analog/digital pedalboard. Oh, and I had to get a bigger board...

I keep trying new pedals, and the going back to just a few: compressor, chorus, and (occasionally) delay.

27465099[/URL], member: 49312"]I debated this. Have a midi keyboard controller for synth bass. Run it all on a MacBook like our keys guy does.

One of the bass players at our church uses a keyboard and mainstage I use an actual analog Synth though. Both sound very good, and both are great options.

That being said, our synth players all use Nords, not laptops! We always say "where the Nord is, the lord is!"

Our keys guy has a Nord, 2 other controlled and MainStage. I use a Yamaha MODX6 which is great and all bit it's big. I often wish I had a Moog Sub25. The Yamaha is nice though. Good presets and a screen where I can title my patches and stuff. I label them by song name. Although I have found that, like my bass where I find one patch I like and just use it, I have like 2 or 3 synth sounds I use. I think I felt that for both the simplicity and options would be great, yet I find on both my Stomp and MODX6 I tend to fine 1 or 2 sounds I lie and use them.

I could get by with less but it's all paid for so I guess I just keep using it. I think a Moog sounds better. It's smaller. A Sushi Box Finally would probably be Al I need for bass as well - and a compressor.
