I've just had a look at this and if you use a Pan block at the beginning of a preset you can do this with one block. Thanks for the idea.

This may be useful to anyone wondering about the Stomp’s versatility. I do a doubling gig with a function band where I have to change from double bass to bass guitar mid set. I use IEMs but still have my amp on stage. The way I use the Stomp is bass guitar into the mono input, double bass into effects return, Effects Send to my amp (with a send block just before the amp/cab sim at the end of the chain), the Left output to a radial JDI for front of house (with amp/cab block) and the Right output going to my IEM mixer using a TRS to XLR (though the headphone output would work too). I’ve found that I tend to have to use the ground lift on the JDI. My double bass patch has an effects return as first block (with no signal coming through it from main input) and a send at the end so it works the same as the bass guitar blocks in terms of front of house and stage amp. One problem with this setup is that I can’t use the Stomp’s tuner for the double bass without swapping over plugs. I do have a small Wee Lush A/B switch but I’m trying to keep the setup as simple as possible. I have a larger board with HX Effects and Mesa Subway DI on but found stage real estate enough of a problem with having the double bass and bass guitar. The Stomp and JDI fit nicely under the band music stand. I had thought about swapping over the Mesa with the Stomp and having the HX Effects in an effects loop from the Stomp. That way I could just take the Stomp on smaller footprint gigs but still have the amp sims when there was more room. To do this I’d have to change my doubling gig presets with the Amp/Cab block on path B at the end of the chain with it panned fully left and the dry path (without amp/cab) panned to the right side. Left output to FOH, right to stage Amp and the headphone output to IEMs.

There is an export button on the top left (I think) of HX edit. I have my patches saved on my mac

I managed to find a free hour to go and visit Pierre. It turned out to be only a 12 minute cycle ride away from where I’m staying. It was good to actually get my hands on one of the basses I’d looked at and also try out some other great instruments. I highly recommend getting in touch with him if you find yourself in Brussels.

Yes, there’s some great looking basses there. Unfortunately it’ll probably be too awkward to arrange a time as I’m unlikely to know in advance when I can excuse myself from parenting duties. I do have 3 days though so may drop them a line. This just the sort of info I was hoping to find here. Thanks everyone.

Thanks. That’s a shame. I’ll have to default to my usual sifting through vinyl instead. ps I’m still enjoying the fretless Maruszczyk Frog though there’s a Wal on here that’s got my attention.

I’m in Brussels for a few days with family and was hoping to slope off at some point and have a look at some basses. Has anyone who knows the city got any recommendations? Time will be too short to just try the google top ten and hope to get lucky.

Go to https://uk.line6.com/software/ click on Downloads at the top, then go to HX Stomp in the Hardware pulldown menu. the list of all effects is pages 19 to 27. You can bypass HX Effects (which I have) so I'm guessing you can on the Stomp.

I just bought some strings from Luke and they were delivered quickly and in described condition.

I'm trying to fit the helix plug (dc-3G?) under my pedal train metro. I plan to use a splitter c14 to dual c13 to feed 1 spot cs6 and the dc-3G. There's only enough space for the helix power if I don't add any of the European or uk plug adaptors, as they make it too wide to fit flush against the underside of the board. Does anyone know what I need to plug directly into the 2 flat pins? I think I might need a c14 to NEMA 5-15R and just plug into the 2 non earthed holes. I spent a lot of time searching online for information but had no luck. I would have rung up Maplins if they were still around. Any help appreciated as I'd rather check before ordering one. Thanks.

I'd been looking at the same seller for the HX Effects for a while but was having so much trouble deciding between Stomp, LT & HX I knew that once I made up my mind I'd not want to wait 8 weeks for it as I'd probably have changed my mind by the time it arrived. I took the link down as I wasn't sure about basschat policy on this forum for commercial sales.

just seen one for £349 on eBay (I've just bought a Hx Effects but was still getting eBay alerts) OK....just noticed it's the Grey seller (if I have the right term - someone referred to the same seller when selling HX Effects preorder) and not someone selling theirs on. I've removed link
