Are you pleased with the overdrive, distortion, and fuzz sounds in the Bergantino? It reads like their latest firmware upgraded them? I've never cared for the drives in the Stomp but have heard good things about the Super Pre.

I don't use fuzz on it but have played briefly with it. Seems very usable.
I struggled with the overdrives initially, I just couldn't get it to sound as good as my B Amp. Once the software upgrades happened, I was much happier.
There is a lot to mess with to get it sounding how you want it. It took me a little while. With,the lpf, blend, the overdrive frequency etc there is endless adjustment options. I ended up researching what frequency my favourite overdrive pedals accentuate to find a starting point, and went from there. If it is too fizzy for your taste you can just keep dialing down the lpf frequency. It's a very powerful tool.
You can choose your frequency centre for the 4 eq set points and the q width, and the frequency for the bright setting and how much it boosts that frequency. I like to set my bright frequency just below the lpf freq. If i have a dull room I can use the bright switch to add sparkle, but it doesn't get out of control as the lpf is active in the same spot.
Hoping you guys can point me in the right direction. I use the OE Super Vintage for my preamp/DI and I love it. My problem is I want both a clean channel and an overdrive channel. I love the OD tone from the SV and am struggling to find a similar sounding tone from a separate OD pedal. Recommendations/thoughts?
Have you tried running a boost before the OE Super Vintage?
I use the Moog on the CeCe Winans version. We've been doing that version more often.
Stumbled on this company Cosmodio. Really interesting mods that seem to “fix” what people didn’t like about the Blumes. Adds boost, blend, and two different eq controls.
Played SEU Worship's Free! at camp tonight. What a fun bass song.
that's a fun song to play. done it a few times in church over the last couple of years
Update recently posted by Line 6’s chief designer on a Stomp Stadium. Sounds like HX stomps remain future proof for now and probably an even more amazing value with what the replacement will eventually come in at.
Unless there is something really ground breaking... where there is a must have feature, I'm not really excited for anything new. It's the one pedal I see on my pedalboard that I always ask myself, "How do I get rid of this thing?". I currently only use the Parametric EQ, and the FX loop... and haven't added anything to it for months.... I can't remember when... haha.
Reminds me of your quote from one of your vids that I related to... and remembered (had to search for it on YouTube)...

Exactly how I think of it. One of these days, I'll rip the bandaid off, and remove it from my pedalboard... but I don't think I'll get rid of it. But its probably the last digital modeler I'll purchase.
Ha. That it is. Tuner, EQ, chorus, fx loop, and microsynth for me. Does all those really well.

I'm late to the Stomp party and picked one up late last year, but it is almost everything I could ever want in a pedal. I'm a pedal guy too, so being able to place an external pedal into the FX loop wherever I want it is nice, I've built a number of synth patches that can activate four effects with a single switch, it's a special tool especially for the price.
I asked this forum a while back what they were doing for dirt settings and I tried them all out and haven't found one I love, but the beauty of this pedal is the FX loop and placing external dirt pedals after the comp and octave is great, especially when I'm running a mini board for most gigs outside of church.
It's going to be tough to rip off my board, even if there's a "Stompium" in the works which I doubt.
For me the stomp’s fx loop is awesome for being able to place dirt and chorus effects over a crossover split. I set it at 120hz and it keeps the low end consistent through through our subs and makes guitar dirt pedals like the kilt more usable. Another big reason it’s hard to get away from multifx.
I just got a Fender Limited Edition Vintera II Road Worn 1960s Precision Bass - Charcoal Frost Metallic and LOVE IT! Yours sounds amazing.
A new bass for me. I love this bass already. Sounds and feels vintage. I highly recommend this bass for those who don't want to spend Mod Shop or Custom Shop prices.
Great price, fit, finish, looks, feel, sound...everything I wanted in a P-Bass.
Specs below:
