Переглядів 3,3 тис.9 місяців тому
I've gradually developing my looper setup with the HX Stomp over the past couple of months. There was a lot of inspiration from people that commented on the first video I posted, so thank you to all of you for sending me questions and your thoughts. In this setup I'm adding on the Ampero Switch, a dual footswitch pedal that can be assigned to control various functions of the HX stomp. Let me kn...

Why my ampero footswitch only work on switch B
Thank you.
For my opinion it's the one of the best demo of the unit on youtube, many thanks! Very nice feel and taste.
Sounds great thanks for a clear and informational demo
My wife has just bought me this for this for Christmas and it's great! I just use it with a sonic Mustang with single coils, both together cost less than £300 and sound great! ... Do love me a star master though
I’ve had the Stomp for 4 years and have never used the looper. Very cool!
Excellent video man
My command center doesn’t show up. Any solutions?
Thank you! Very helpful!!
I modded mine and now it buzzes/ and hums always
Great play, bro!! Congrats!! 👏👏
Beautiful playing sir (tips cap)
Thank you Jay 🙏 hope all is well
is there a way to stack 2 of these amps ?
Do you mean like a daisy chain?
the amp made him bald
Nice!!! Like it a lot
Thank you! 🙏
Great tutorial! thanks
The best part of this video is how you manage to move around that slice of a room
London apartments, baby!
Nice one Billy.....👌
Thank you! Hope you are doing well! 🙏
Great video, really clear thanks. I think it would be cool to make FS1 an undo button. Add another 2 button switch and use that for going up and down snapshots. Is that possible? Bass sound, rhythm gtr, solo gtr, ambient gtr for instance.
You should be able to program the additional switched to move snapshots. Not sure about cycling through them but selecting should be an option
Bearing in mind, these are not expensive, there are some fairly simple MODs that make a significant difference to this amp. There is a diode limiter* which when clipped out increases the power / volume. If you do this, you can then add a better speaker (it's a budget one for the price) to the existing box OR if you are really bold as I am just now (I bought the amp used / hardly out of the box for £40) you can cut the whole thing down to a head unit and cab it** with a 12" Celestion Greenback 25W / 8 Ohm. At this point all you need is a Sweet Cream dynamic OD pedal £40 (reacts to your playing, can OD from the guitar with hum-buckers) and a half decent reverb pedal - I am using a Shimverb £30 - and you are into Peter Green Blues power at realistically low volumes on the clean channel. Try this on an AC30 or the cheaper Laney clone LC30/12 and it is way too loud. FYI the built in gain channel is this amps weak spot. At this point you have a practice stack which could easily record or gig small venues for not a lot of cash, and it is a fun project not beyond most people with basic DIY / Craft / Soldering skills. * Google this bit. It's there if you look. ** I bought a broken Fender Champ 110 circa 1996 for £25 and took out the amp box, replaced the existing 12" speaker, re Tolexed and replaced with VOX cloth :) - perfect size to sit under the Pathfinder for a lovely mini stack that remains portable.
Thanks for the comment and the recommendation! I have an JetCity ISO II which I’d like to try and run this amp through. I sense a new DIY project brewing! :)
Thanks Billy!! Good Stuff!!
Actually I think a far better method outside of using the real thing is using a regular six string steel acoustic guitar. You can record the part normally and then use a octave FX VST in you DAW to lower the pitch 1 octave (or use an octave pedal etc.). This produces more of an acoustic sound to the lowered octave than an electric guitar. I have tried both and always go back to the acoustic guitar. In the mix it sounds closer to a real acoustic bass than doing the same thing with an elect gtr.
Oh nice! Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll be trying that 🙏
thank you bro... its awesome <3
Glad you like it!
One important thing you left out is the speaker size. Is it a 6" or 8" ?
I think mine has a six inch speaker
For me the best setup was to use only 2 stomp instead of 3 for the looper: - 1 Stomp for Play/Stop command - 1 Stomp for full looper use (like if you setup a bypass stomp to you looper) Using this method you can use the play/stop to manage stoping resuming on time your loop You can use the tradiionnal unique looper switch to trigger the record, overdub, undo/redo and delete the loop. Also having 1 Full Looper stomp allows you to visualize the color code for the looper (green for play, orange for overdub, red for rec, and also a different color when a loop is stopped and empty VS stopped with a record) The main pain point for using a single switch looper is for this double tap to stop the loop. Having the Start/Stop in addition really fixing the issue. No need for a dedicated REC/OD and additionnal Undo switch. And here you go you saved 1 Stomp :)
Why is your video so underexposed lol
Yessss thank you for this!
I'm to lazy to actually do this but this is sweet. Its cool that you also still check your comments even 3 years after you uploaded this video.
This explanation is so needlessly drawn out I closed it. Figured the process out myself. Then came back to leave a rude comment with time to spare.
😂
This comment is so unnecessary and the commenter would've saved time by not watching and commenting on a video posted by the owner in his own youtube channel for his own followers. Thanks for playing.
@IscariottActual I would like to see you make a video if you are so genius yourself to figure things out in that big brain of yours.
I disagree, I was completely lost. When he started building a preset one step at a time I wondered: what was the procedure he used to plug in the HX Stomp and turn it on? How did he put on his clothes for the day?
😂 Ill make sure to include that in the next walkthrough
BILLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have to try out PRESTON PEDALS The Deputy Plus V2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then you'll connect the ampere into the Deputy Plus V2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we do away with unboxing? I could not give a single f*ck what the cardboard I'm gonna throw away looks like. 50% of this Amp review doesn't feature the amp.
Sorry to disappoint. This review may be more what you are looking for: ua-cam.com/video/GX7s6N2PGwQ/v-deo.htmlsi=II1MRPKuE8vzy4Eb
@@BillyCrabbeMusic I actually think the rest of your review was fantastic. I just think unboxing is not very appropriate in an amplifier review. High-end consumer electronics that put alot of effort into the presentation of their packaging, maybe. With anything else, it just feels like padding the video to hit the 10 minute mark for algorithmic purposes. Also, alot of musicians buy used gear so it's likely they will never interact with the original packaging.
@w33blord66 completely understand where you are coming from with this. At the same time I’m just having fun with it :)
I'm following along but I can't get my footswitch 3 to stop being the tap/tuner function. Do I need to go into global settings to fix this?
Yes, in the global settings, scroll over to “Footswitches” and you can adjust the function of the Stomp 3 there
What about erase obviously the workaround is to move up and down on the preset
As soon as you said you wouldnt use the amp for recording, I lost interest. It seems like this would be a great recording amp.....
In hindsight, you are right!
Did anyone actually get this to work? Nice video, but it doesn't really seem like a high success rate from the comments
Great stuff mate - appreciate it.
And how do you clear the looper ?
If you stop the loop and hit record again it starts from scratch.
Thanks for the tutorial - Very helpful. One question: I am missing the colored LEDs (stomp buttons) after customizing the Single Button Looper… is it possible to get them back? Mine are just white or clear now. Thanks!
Not sure about customising the lights for the looper controls. I haven’t come across anything like that. Would be a good feature
Hey! How do you set up the input to be 1 on pro tools? I’ve been trying this with an Apollo twin but using output 3 and returning on output 1 seems impossible on hardware inserts 😱
the stomp has a tuner I dont see the need for the individual tuner pedal
was 1 stomp enough to stomp the loop? I dont fint my XL's buttons physically fine enough for looping.
In a way I have two pedals set up for controlling the looper. It depends on what you want to do with the looper - this set up is basic and probably would require a lot of rehearsal to make sure that you get it right in a live situation. In the last video I uploaded I go over a couple different variations that give you a bit more control.
@@BillyCrabbeMusic I figured out with a double footswitch I can do the loop on stage better. More precise. The HX Stmps buttons are NOT looper friendly at all, I mean physically. And then the software sucks too. Do you need quick double step on the button to stop ur loop? Anyways, I use a Rowin nano looper, the brown edition (the blue edition needs double stomp to stop the loop), and it is much much better than the HX Stomps puts on ur desk
Sounds great dude! I've been thinking of doing stuff like this to have a more unique sound rather than using the same damn plugins as everyone else!
hell yeah it sounds badass
You've just taught me a lesson about this amp, namely that it really has an 'overdrive' that reacts to the level of Gain. Now I suspect that most of the complaints about it are coming from people who are 'Diming' the Gain. The way they were talking, it sounded like a buzzsaw as soon as you pushed the button.
*fhrows panties*
Hey everyone! Posted a video responding to some of these comments! Thank you to all of your for contributions! Responding to your comments | HX Stomp Looper - ua-cam.com/video/LEJ3A_mfBIw/v-deo.html
How do you clear a recording? Hahah you did not mention it
Great tutorial. I've always just used the looper the standard way but this looks much easier. With a more gainy amp like the jtm45 you could ride the volume knob and have clean and distorted tones as well as bass
Great video 🙏🏿 How long can looper record? 60s?
@camwalkermusic thanks ❤
Awesome sound, the pedals seem to awaken the little amp. Great playing too!
