Wolverinebass Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 For those of you who use this function, the crossover function on this. How is it displayed? Frequency? It's not in any of the manuals and I'm not getting one of these if it's displayed as a percentage or something weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 You’ve also got HPF and LPF blocks so you can use one of those in conjunction with a crossover to create a DuG style ‘chasm’ in the midrange! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah! Reminds me I need to check out the HPF on the Stomp. Is it on a par with the Thumpinator in your opinion Danny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GisserD Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Surely comparison between 2 utilities that are supposed to have no effect on your tone is futile?Without an oscilloscope/frequency analyser that is... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Never tested them but I imagine the slope of the Thumpinator is much steeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you could do it without that, just using a couple of normal branches. Or an impulse response. Or even a graphic equaliser! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remind me to try that some time. Mind you, I don't have a thumpinator so I would only be able to check it against the specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 First gig last night with the new Stomp. Having just moved house, I hadn't any time at all with the pedal, so in a 20 minute session yesterday afternoon I just found a factory preset I quite liked, faffed about with it a bit (changed cab, eased off the compression), and went with that. Straight into the PA, and it was a small pub, so I monitored by the traditional method of Ears And Wander Round A Bit. Sounded really, really good. I mean better-than-good-backline good... I also set up some pitch shifting (one of the main reasons I moved on the B3 and the HD500x was the solidity of pitch shifting, which wasn't quite there) and it's rock solid. Looking forward to having a good play with the thing once I get more than 20 minutes at a time, but initial impression is this is the last pedal I'll need, which makes it very good value... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyclaret Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hi, Would one of these work for changing presets on the Helix Stomp? Seems like a cheap option if so. https://www.tomtop.com/p-i3858.html?currency=GBP&Warehouse=CN&aid=gplaukyly&mid=10000018477&utm_source=SEM&utm_medium=Google+Adwords&utm_campaign=TT_PLA_YLY&utm_content=2945&gclid=CjwKCAiAqOriBRAfEiwAEb9oXesxl9U-WIY1HFNiLpXZauZRvtaBju3a5YG59vTNQmgcQIrda4tGWRoCkpIQAvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I've stuck with using an expression pedal + single momentary switch (for enabling / disabling the tuner) with my Stomp, and just switch presets by hand (as I only use a few per rehearsal / gig anyway). The next level up for me would be a MIDI controlled switch + expression device, but that ups the $$$ stakes considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoirBass Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I just got one too. Great bit of kit. Think I’m going to get a Gekko switcher as I’d like the ability to ‘engage’ the patch having scrolled to the correct one. I'm also contemplating going fully frfr as a result of how good the amp modelling is on the HX stomp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the confidence of youth! 😁 I'm enjoying the 'youth' bit, but seeing as I've only ever had one pedal at a time (ME50B, then the Zoom, then (very briefly) HD500x, and now the Stomp), and long periods in between without a pedal, I'm not exactly the Pedal GAS type: I don't like too much complication onstage (or off it 😀) and I only use them in the function/covers band, where we play a verrry wide range of songs, and being a trio, it's nice to get the bass tone close to the original if I can. When I'm playing with the Rawwk band(s) and dep situations, I'm happy with going straight into my Walkabout, but the function/covers band is DI/IEMs and no backline... Having said that, if the tone I had the other night (and as I said, that was after a 20 minute from 'Now then, how does this thing work?' to All Done rush) is anything to go by, I could see myself killing rock 'n roll stone dead and going FRFR across the board... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
