It is......Dawn is home so.......😂

This is exactly what I was asking about, thanks. Now I’m home I can see a number which I hadn’t really paid any attention to before, but understood it to be to do with snapshots. As I don’t use them I just ignored it. As said, I dont want to do this, at least not at the moment, but was just wondering if it was possible. The Helix stuff seems to be the system that just keeps giving and giving lol.

How would I get that running on my Zoom R8 or iPad Pro 😂 I thought it would be clear that my first comment was just an example though, pointing out the big size difference which not everyone would welcome. Saying that, I don’t use a computer for recording at home. My iPad Pro is way more powerful than my PC, and my Zoom R8 is a much more traditional recording tool, which i still prefer over using a computer.

Cool. Can you tell me how I can do this? Not copy and paste to a new location, but to overwrite the basic settings using a variation. Cheers. EDIT: I’m replying while I’m out and about, so I’ll figure it out when I get home. It’s not something I need to do, just wondered if it’s possible.

Thanks. I understand what snapshots do, my question is can I make one of the variations (snapshots) the main patch if I’m not using snapshots? For example if Im in snapshot mode and just trying out variations, and I prefer snapshot 3, can I apply that to the main patch? I don’t use snapshot mode as I like to tweak on the fly. As to the last point, well not if I don’t have a computer to run the software 😏

On that subject, and bearing in mind Ive never used them, can you set any one of the 3 snapshots as the default settings when not using snapshots?

You ever tried getting a Helix Floor up on your desk for home recording 😂

I agree. The HFX is more a pedalboard rather than do it all. Also a few pre amps are in the HFX. I’ve used a BDDI for years and having it in the same box as other effects was a huge draw. A lot of people use preamps in to power amps so the option is still there, just not as versatile if you want a specific tone I guess. We are getting spoilt 😬 I’d also like to see a bit more of the control centre added to the Stomp, specifically the ability to change amp channels. That was the killer feature for me when I had my HFX. Saves having two pedals on the floor.

Ive come so close to getting a Genzler a few times. In fact it was having owned a Streamliner when they first came out that put me off. Nice amp but I didn’t really like the voicing. I do still want to try one at some point, I think I’d lie it more.

And that’s the sad part, we all have fantastic gear sitting around at the moment 😬

I’m talking bout those that have had class D and still have class D, only not the one they rate as the best.

Even Billy has been posting about how he likes it over on FB. He even posted a video earlier today in the Helix for bass group.

I came so close to selling my Stomp, so glad I kept hold of it. The new update has given me a new enthusiasm for using it live again. Live 😂😂😂

Yeah, it’s like a reminder you have edited but not saved the patch. Another small but cool update.

Haha, yeah, that’s what I meant. Why not buy another?

Is there a need to do a restore?

Haha, yeah, we heard the 11th time lol.

I’m seeing a lot of past tense ‘had’ comments and wondering why if these are ‘best’ then why aren’t they your current amp? I’m just bored and asking, not questioning your choices.

Must admit I couldn’t get a filter effect that matches my MXR BF. Close enough though.

When I got back in to playing bass I started with a Ashdown EB, and then moved to a MAG307. When I out grew that I went with MB, for a good few years. It took me a bit of adjusting because the low is set much lower than on the Ashdown’s. It was that 100hz that I missed.

I don’t recall it coming with a USB-C cable, only Lightning and micro USB IIR. But yeah, the Stomp is the way to go for now.

Cheers. I think I’ll stick with the Stomp, especially as I’d use it for bass and Guitar anyway. I have an iRig HD sitting at work, but I’ve since changed my iPad so have no use for it. I’ve just been reading that Logic Pro and FCPX will be arriving on the iPad Pro sometime in the next yearly two. That will be a game changer IMO.

Are you using a 2018-200 iPad Pro? I was thinking of getting the Scarlett Solo but don’t want to have to use a PSU for it. I have to do this via a hub with my old 2i4 (I’ve been saying it’s a 2i2 but recently realised it’s a 2i4). Pretty sure the 3rd gen Solo also needs the power as well though so may just stick with Bass-Stomp-ipad.

I’ve used my Focusrite with my iPad. Works fine, but it takes a lot more leads and boxes compared to just going straight through the Stomp. As I’m only going to record guitar and bass this works better for me.

I found all my patches in the Stomp are set to 0db output. This is fine for my rig and headphone practice, but upping the gain to around +5db or so made a huge difference to the way my iPad would record the input. I don’t think there is any real reason I need to back this off for using with my rig, but I do.
