Even though I hated at first, I'd go with the Aguilar Fuzzistor. Or the Black Russian Big Muff

My best, without any doubt, my HX Stomp. My Yamaha BB605 was a pretty cool purchase too.

Hello guys I have a question regarding the Line Out of the HX Stomp. I am going ampless and I use an IEM. I had a full pedalboard before I switched to the HX Stomp. Besides, I bought a stereo jack>XLR adapter. However, in my last gig, the sound guy told me that this adapters are no good since you still to match impedances. What do you guys think?

I'm pretty happy with my Ashdown RM112. Cheap and good.

Nothing beats a good ABM 😍

I have been trying different positions and I really like to have the preamp in the FX loop, then add an EQ block simulating an 8x10 (from Dr Labs) in path B, having path A for a clean signal. It sounds really good

Thank you everyone for your answers. I see now that it is normal. Thanks! I know the HX can be configured to send a balanced signal. I even have a setero jack>XLR adapter. However, the sound guys I work with don't like that option and they always give a regular DI. That's why I bought the Radial, just in case something goes wrong. But I didn't know about the signal drop. Anyway, it works and now I understand why it happens

Hello! I have recently bought a Passive DI, a Radial STage Bug SB-2 to combine with my HX Stomp. The thing is that I find that the volume (and signal) coming from the DI is much lower than the signal sent from the HX. Is that possible? Everything else is the same (preset, volume knob, bass...) Coming out from the HX, even when I set the Out to Instrument Level, it gives much more signal then when I plug it into the DI. I already checked the PAD in/out of the DI and that is not the problem. Is this normal? Thank you in advance

I like this!! Mine would be pretty similar: Based upon Yamaha BB735 (and 734) -Olympic white with tortoise pickguard for my 734 and Metallic Orange with white pearl pickguard for my 735 (very similar to the 414 on the BB thread). -Reverse P pickups -Humbucker bridge pickup with a switch to make it single.

Just curious, because I use the HX Stomp with my RM too. Do you plug your Helix in the input or in the FX Return of the amp? Do you use amp sims?

I use the compressor when I use the amp with no pedals. It sounds really good with just a bit of drive and just a bit of compression.

I own a Jack Casady, but just because I love the bass. The name didn't have anything to do with me buying the bass. Being signature doesn't really mean anything to me. Basses, amps, pedals... if they are great by its own, then I'll get one.

They made that mistake in some Dr Green pedals... I hope it's not the case this time. I still have my Bearded Lady and using it live was difficult sometimes.

I completely agree. But even with older pedals. Their OriginAL preamp has really few videos and it's an awesome preamp. They should really work on this.

Just curious. do you know if there is much difference between the ABM600 and the ABM Dual VU? I think it's just the look and the place where it is built, but I don't know if there is any more difference. I've always liked the blue.

Actually I was just thinkig the same. It's not much different from an ABM, I think the only difference is the Taurus input. Besides, I thought there was no comp nor sub-harmonics (which I'd prefer, because I don't use any of that in my amp) but it seems that the amp has both, but not they are not configurable, which I think it's worse. I cannot say that I wouldn't buy one, but for that amount of money, I'd probably get a Dual VU ABM. PS Maybe the valve drive is different. I'm not sure about that.

And I admit that I like it more than I expected

As long as you sound good. It's true that 99% of the audience doesn't notice when the bass has overdrive, fuzz or anything. But they care about the overall mix. These changes may suit the song more than just playing a dry signal of the bass.

I really like these EQ (in theory). If the highs were 3.8kHZ it would be better, but it seems like a really cool amp.

I'm really excited about this one. It looks pretty amazing

I have a question for you guys. Does any of you combine the HX Stomp with an external preamp? How do you do it? I have a preamp that I love and I've been trying with the HX lately. Since it has DI out, I tried it at the end of the chain. However, I have also experimenting with IRs and I like come cab simulation blended with some dry signal. The amps in the HX are great (I've used the SVT4 and the SVT Nrm in many shows) but I still prefer the sound of my preamp. For those of you who uses the HX with another preamp, do you use it at the end of chain or in the FX loop?

I've used a lot of compressors in my years playing. As a cheap comp pedal, I'd go with the TC Electronic Hypergravity. I've used one for many years with really good results. I've also used the EHX Bass Preacher and I really liked it. It'd be my second choice.

I've never used an FRFR, but I'm curious about them. I have my in ears in case I don't have monitors. Begore going to the venue I usually ask about the backline they have, just in case I have to take my amp.

Yes! It happened to me haha
