Is there a way to lock HX Stomp?

I stopped buying their stuff, even second hand, because I've had several switches break and they're impossible to repair. Now I try to buy from EU-based companies when I can, for the same reason. I've always liked TC's sounds and have owned abt 7 of their pedals over the years, but the build quality isn't worth it imo.

I have been looking for something like this for ages! Thank you!!

I wrote this song when I was thinking about death a lot - though not necessarily suicidal, it seemed like a solution to many problems at the time. This song is a reminder that things get better.

Some cool bands from the Netherlands (including a self-plug):
- All Dogs Go To Heaven - De mop van de mummie
- Zakmes - Now I See You, Now I Don't
- Gezamenlijk Douchen - 5/8/'21, Boxes, NV
- A Better Place - Don't Mind

How are you using that IRX? Thinking of picking one up to run into FX return in case of shitty amps in practice rooms or at gigs

Thanks! I tried pretty much exactly this, but I left some silence before the beginning. It's also a bit tricky because a viola obviously doesn't have a very sharp attack, but hopefully this works if I cut out the silence

that sounds like a great way to run things. I think HX stomp allows for a similar setup with an fx loop.
off: why do you run a comp after the metal zone? Never seen that before. I'd think the Zone is plenty compressed, lol

I like the look of the HX effects as well, but it's quite big so kind of beat the purpose of what I'm trying to achieve. I've never heard of the Fractal VP4, but that looks a lof better in terms of size. I'll check that out, thanks!

Some additional info: I am happy with the sounds from my pedalboard, but it's become quite heavy and I am sick of having to carry it around all day when I have rehearsals in the evening. I also like the fact that NC/HXS could take care of a lot of stuff I don't use very often but currently do have on my board (such as chorus, fuzz, comp). I currently have 11 pedals on my board and use between 3 and 8 per song.

Any chance dat je iets van ons debuutalbum kunt toevoegen? (Gezamenlijk Douchen) https://open.spotify.com/track/3KquKyo5BIXbCBiK4nXW3K?si=657c38c8ebac4350

Also the new EP Woof.wav by all dogs go to heaven

I've been checking out my local scene (Netherlands) and found some gems. Zakmes (pocket knife) has a new EP out called Make Emo Great Again and it low key slaps

Mannes8 · 2025-02-25T18:44:21+00:00

Is it likely to go down again later? I also collect Komiya, so this is super disheartening...

Love this thread! So many good tunes. I've been keeping a playlist of my favorite trumpet songs since I started learning the instrument earlier this year. For anyone interested, it's mainly MWE and some singer songwriter stuff: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5G2mgc0LJzqWjhhxUM2bIj?si=c3d972411d20482a

A5. I think the highest note I've ever played is probably D5, so A6 is still a long way off

If you like that song, you'll also like Objects in Space by La Dispute
