I got mine off eBay but they have a website - it’s called Skinny Little Twins As above, snapshots would be better if you don’t want latency when switching patches. I am presuming that can only be 2 switches on a stereo lead? More would need midi magic which would put the total spend up to as much as bigger brother. Am I right?

I’m using a stereo lead, but I have s feeling it can be used with a mono lead by assigning ring and tip functions. You can download the manual pdf, it may explain more. In total I’m fairly sure you can add up to 4 switches or a combination of switches and expression pedals. But yes, more money and footprint kind of defeats the object eh?

If you use a mono lead to a dual switch the ring and sleeve contacts will be shorted and only one of the switches would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basskit_case Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I bought the few Stomp a few months ago, registered it and bought the Helix Native plugin for garageband. I don't play in a band and find myself playing through the computer when at home so was wondering if I sold the Stomp do I retain ownership of the plugin. I assume I wouldn't but wasn't sure if the plugin is registered to te hardware in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix native is a standalone purchase and runs on your computer without needing to have any Helix hardware connected - if selling your Stomp, your Helix Native plugin should still continue to work just fine.

You would have thought that the intention was for the discount only being one Helix Native per Stomp (and on a first come first served basis), rather than one circulating Stomp enabling the entire guitar and bass playing community to get a discount on Helix Native?

Al Krow Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Unless, of course, the original owner didn't fork out £79 for Helix Native so it should be still available to the next guy? Let's face it, how many of us have / will get both Stomp plus Native? Seems a bit pointless to me. If you've got a Stomp and the free HX Edit then the two together do everything that Native does.

Yep, the reason I can get it. Quote Let's face it, how many of us have / will get both Stomp plus Native? Seems a bit pointless to me. Because Maybe you want to record or want the facilities of a full helix? Quote If you've got a Stomp and the free HX Edit then the two together do everything that Native does. You have said that before, it still isn't correct. The helix native gives you a full helix. The stomp is one channel of a helix, or half a helix if you will. So actually it is a pretty good deal. You can have the stomp as a gigging stomp box and the full helix for recording Edited June 13, 2019 by Woodinblack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the biggest plus for me is that I don't have to tear my board apart and set it up on an output/input on my interface DAW. it's a right pain. Then you have 4 additional DA/AD/DA/AD conversions. As soon as I have another reccording project requiring high quality effects. I'm going for native. Its an absolute no brainer bargain.

Anyway I've just registered my Stomp as a precaution in case I ever decide on joining another minority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
