    So here it is! My SA450. The wiring inside is a mess so will probably redo that at some point, but it’s pretty much done for the most part. Probably overkill, but I use two GigRig Generators, one to power the Stomp, and the other powers the rest. IEC Splitter cable coming tomorrow so that I can power both Generators from one IEC. Signal chain: Octamizer > Cali76 > Future Impact > Stomp Misson engineering TT2 acts as Footswitch 4 and 5 on the Stomp, and the MC6 controls everything else, and will control the FI too once I buy some more MIDI jacks. The Prunes and Custard will go in one of the Stomp’s loops. There’s a tiny bit of space left underneath for something else, haven’t decided what yet! Behringer P1 for IEMs, and Temple Audio USB Power adaptor to charge my phone/iPad from the board.

    Little bit of soldering done today. Red - XLR Out - Balanced out straight from the Left Output of the HX Stomp to the desk Blue and Green - XLR Ins - L and R IEM feeds. I work with a lot of different sound guys from gig to gig, so I usually won’t know whether I have a mono or stereo IEM feed until I get there, and sometimes I won’t even have control of my own mix. To combat this, I take one side of the Stomp and connect it Yellow. The Schmidt Array connection box has a clever little function in that the Yellow and Green jacks are connected internally, so if you don’t connect anything to them on the external side, signal flows straight from Yellow to Green. This is originally designed for people who want the option of using their amps Fx Loop or just putting everything in front of the Amp. I’ve repurposed this idea so that if I can’t control my own mix, my bass will be sent directly to the Behringer P1, and I can use the balance knob to control the level of my bass separately to the monitor feed. Then all i’ll have to do if I get a stereo feed, is plug the Green jack in and the signal will reroute automatically. Yellow will also double as an output to an Amp if needed (I don’t use an amp these days). Black and White are my Bass Input and IEM Output, respectively.

    They certainly are expensive. But having received it, I can see why. The thing just oozes quality and the attention to detail and pure craftsmanship is outstanding. Martyn at Schmidt Array’s customer service is also one of the best I’ve ever come across. Lovely chap. Got some unexpected time on my hands so the board build is taking place as we speak....

    Big update coming from me soon. Here’s a teaser....
  5. Higgie
    Yeah it runs on 9V Batteries or a 9VDC supply like most other pedals.
  6. Higgie
    Was just about to suggest a P1 instead of a P2. That’s all definitely possible, and sounds like a good idea. Keep us updated with the progress 🤓
  7. Higgie
    9VDC not AC. 2.1mm barrel, wired centre negative (Boss Style)
  8. Higgie
    You’re welcome 😛
  9. Higgie
    Perfect pairing. Love mine!
  10. Higgie
    Prunes and Custard for sure. Or Iron Ether Oxide is pretty synthy!
  11. Higgie
    I was considering doing the same thing. May just bend down and turn the clean down if I need to though. Won’t take up a block on the Stomp then either 😂
  12. Higgie
    Thanks Pete! Glad you enjoyed it.
  13. Higgie
    That’s the one i’m referring to actually. It sounds ‘OK’. Sounds awful if you take out the clean signal, whereas the Octamizer sounds great!
  14. Higgie
    I’m not overly impressed with the Octave on the HX. Think my Octamizer will be sticking around!
  15. Higgie
    I’ve got one. Like you, use IEMs for almost every gig - I wouldn’t want to be without it! Great bit of kit.
  16. Higgie
    That was fast! SOLD

    If you’re looking at this then you know what it does and why it’s so cool. For the uninitiated its a HPF that gets rid of all the super low frequency content that doesn’t need to be in your signal, meaning your amp and cabs have an easier ride without trying to reproduce frequencies that you can’t hear anyway. No box, but excellent condition. Pedalboard tape on the bottom, and on the side from being mounted under a Pedaltrain at some point. It has tape over the LED because it’s insanely bright 😂 £85 incl. postage, or £80 collected from Chingford, NE London. Cheers

    Hi all. Recorded this recently, and thought it might be good to share it here too. A few mistakes here and there, and also a couple bits I couldn’t hear very well from the original live recording, so i’ve done my best to work out what I *THINK* he is playing, but I know it’s not 100% accurate. Hope you enjoy! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OlEIzlgn5KEzTdDM8osl5ErUduCyE8FA/view?usp=drivesdk

    Best thing i’ve ever done apart from picking up the bass in the first place is learning to read. It’s allowed me to earn a living as a musician, playing with a number of different shows/acts/genres, sometimes with very little notice. I would estimate that about 95% of the work I get has come from being able to read. There’s literally NO downside to being able to do it.
  20. Higgie
    Can confirm. Stomp and MC6 here too. What a great combination!
  21. Higgie
    Having trouble updating my FI to the latest firmware - Just says FI is not present or a communication error occurred! Anyone else come across this? Using an M Audio UNO USB Interface that I'm sure used to work fine for editing patches Edit: Nevermind! Sorted. Don't know what I did differently, but its now successfully updated!
  22. Higgie
    Thanks for this!
  23. Higgie
    Would this even be able to be imported with a Rosewood fretboard?
  24. Higgie
    You’re right!. I’d kind of got bogged down into thinking everything would need to be in the loop of the Stomp. Good thinking Batman!
  25. Higgie
    This is one of my favourite features. An FX Loop for inserting your other effects, that can be placed anywhere in the signal chain. Like you, I would want to put one of my filters and the Future Impact in it's loop. I just picked up the Morningstar MC6 to use with the Stomp. I'm now envisioning their ML5 in the loop of the stomp, with the filter in one loop, FI in another... The MC6 could switch presets/patches on the Stomp, as well as turning on/off multiple separate pedals at a pre-determined point in your signal chain, but more importantly, that can all change per patch! Lots of possibilities!
