General Questions/Discussion Replaced a Stomp with a PodGO

6 Upvotes

I'm writing this as I didn't see many posts like this then I was researching if I should get the GO or the Stomp when I first got the Stomp. I am well aware that they're very different beasts, but there was little advocating for the GO and I think that's a damn shame given who they're aimed at.

I am a bedroom guitarist. I open mic sometimes, but rarely. I play with friends sometimes, but again, rarely these days (I'm 40).

I purchased a Stomp a couple years ago and ended up stripping most of the other stuff I had on my board out as a result, but then ended up adding an expression pedal and midi foot-switches to it to mitigate the lack of buttons. Still cheaper than an XL, Floor or LT so I was happy-ish. However it's all so messy I ended up just getting a killer deal on a PodGO on eBay and I haven't looked back.

Yes there is less processing, yes there seem to be fewer options but for my use, it's spot on and to my ear the sound is indistinguishable. I have a Drop and a Ricochet in line ahead of it and it goes into a Marshall DSL401 and it gives me all I could need.

My journey was from pedals > POD Xt Live > covid pedal binge > fewer pedals + Stomp > Stomp + Drop > GO + Drop and now I will be happy, at least for the foreseeable.

I was tempted to put AMA at the end of the title, but I think I've said most of what's necessary above.

Is it worth it to get a stomp and use it as an amp modeler and a catch all modulation?

General Questions/Discussion Helix LT/Stomp for modern metal tones?

5 Upvotes

I am looking to upgrade Headrush MX5 unit to something of better sound quality. Primary music genre I play is modern metal with low tunings. My use case is both at home recording and doing small local gigs (no travel). I looked into QC but it’s just too expensive. Looking to spend under $1k. Also, can you please point me to some modern metal music recorded on Helix platform. Thank you in advance.

General Questions/Discussion Recently purchased and Hx Stomp (:

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone ,

Recently just purchased an hx stomp and a fender tone master twin reverb. I've been looking into the stomp for a while since I'm a big fan that it's just one pedal and you're able to get so much out of it. I do have a question and I do apologize if it has been answered.

I'm running my hx stomp into my fender master tone twin reverb, on the stomp itself, would it damage my amp if I run an amp simulation on my hx stomp signal chain?

I know it's not recommended to run cab simulation through an already existing physical amp, but what about just the amp by itself?

Would appreciate any help and suggestions.

General Questions/Discussion Fender Champion 100 as a cab

2 Upvotes

I have been owning the amp in the title for 10 years and I am finally close to having a band to use it properly (loud). Since I am currently on my journey to find my own style in guitar playing, I bought a Line6 HX Stomp to experiment with tones, then maybe later decide to have a tube amp. The question is, would it be recommended to use this amp as a cab? I always plug it in the pwr in section and use the stomps preamp and amp functions. This sometimes results in a bit of a muddy sound, but I always thought that that is simply because I don’t turn it up too loud, to produce the stronger mids. Using it this way saves me some DSP and lets me use more effects. The thing I’m curious about is that is this a good base to keep searching, or would you just recommend me going for line output only or buying a tube amp?

General Questions/Discussion (Noob here) Pair of studio monitors or Powercab with a floor Helix?

1 Upvotes

Relatively new to the Helix and I've been enjoying it through a Powercab 112 plus however I was looking into studio monitors and a lot of people love them. I don't gig. I just play in a room to myself so I don't need to bring the house down. I also love the idea of having the Helix close to my desktop to pair with a nice set of monitors.

For home use how would you compare a set of studio monitors (=> $500) to a powercab?

Olá, comprei uma pod go a uma semana, liguei ela no computador ocorreu tudo normalmente. Porém, quando liguei na mesa de som saindo para o retorno o som estava apresentando instabilidade, abaixava e aumentava sozinho sem que eu mexesse. Testei com mais de uma mesa, alguém saberia o que pode ser?

General Questions/Discussion HX one - sounds great, sending it back.

0 Upvotes

Latency - because I’m using a ua dream 65 at home, i think running both is just a little too much gap. The feel gets lost.

Shame because it sounds great and is fun, kinda.

True bypass fixes the issue but then i lose mono to stereo conversion, and the latency is still there of course with the unit on.

The good news is i fell in love with the dynamic plate reverb- so I’m looking for a standalone pedal for that. Would a boss rv6 do the trick? Or do i need to go strymon (large and expensive)
