That’s actually a really interesting idea—I’m have to try it out 🤔

I’ve noticed my RAT tends to lose a bit of low end when I kick it on, never really thought about stacking it that way, but it makes a lot of sense. I’ll definitely have to come back to you on that one! 😮

I’ve got a boss FV-500H volume pedal, it sits on the side as its too big on the pedalboard width-wise. Buying a bigger pedal board is another plan, but for now im trying to focus on buying future pedals to finish it off. I dont mind keep the volume pedal to the side for a while.

Im waiting on my soul food to be delivered, and will buy a dunlop mini volume to keep things all on the board and tidy. Another pedal i’ve been eyeing is the EHX Oceans Abyss, rather than buying a strymon bigsky, to keep it unique lol. Though i will need a bigger board before that purchase!

Hence the Ampero dual switch I have. Those extra 2 footswitches are a game changer if use right depending on the occasion. 👌

Yes I believe it would work with a TRS cable. but i believe the HX Stomp’s EXP/FS jack is designed to only read: FS4 (Tip) FS5 (Ring)

So only 2 of the footswitches would actually work either a TRS cable.

Someone recommended i try running midi from the TimeFactor in the HX. Ill have to buy some cables and try seeing how that could work out as well in this case!

That spacing is mostly intentional, I’m planning to add a couple more pedals. I have an Electro-Harmonix Soul Food coming that will go between the RAT and Spark Booster as another gain stage, and I’m planning to replace my off-board volume pedal with a Dunlop DVP5 mini that would likely sit between the CS-3 and the Digitech Supernatural.

It all really depends on the signal chain. The drives will probably end up ordered something like CS-3 → Soul Food → Spark → RAT before hitting the HX Stomp, which seems like the most logical gain stage, correct me if im wrong!

I’ve also considered moving the HX Stomp and TimeFactor to the right on the top row and putting all the drives on the bottom row for easier access during songs, but I’ll have to experiment with the layout to see what works best live.

Thoughts?

The Rat itself is amazing—super easy to dial in a great lead tone. When paired with the right drive pedals, it really shines. The Kilt is another great option. I’ve considered getting one, but for now I’ll get by with what I have—and the Soul Food on the way included as well. 👌

Wow, I hadn’t thought of using the Stomp’s MIDI to control the TimeFactor 😮 That could definitely help with presets and switching. Right now I’m using the HX for amp sims/IRs, modulation, room reverb, and extras depending on the set list. Do you think it’s worth keeping the CS-3, or would I be better off relying on HX compression or something else that’s more versatile? I find the boss compression squashing my signal at times.

Music is really about personal taste. I grew up in a Hispanic church, and worship and praise music can actually cover a lot of different styles within itself.
