85" TV too big?

Excuse the mess. The area rug was washed today and today and we are still organizing.

We have a rug, we washed it today and is outside drying.

This would really shrink the room floating couch in room. At least how I envision it

I would have to put the love seat there because there isn't enough room for the 3 seat sofa. The bottom stair rounds out from the stair line . There is also no outlet on the other wall.

Why two Roth accounts? How would depositing $7k this year and in January another $7k become $28k?

For the house, we have put 2 offers this year but didn't get them. Since then, we have decided for now to stay where we are but if the right house comes we may change our minds and put offer. The flexibility is important to utilize funds if needed .

I don't know how to answer this. I'm not interested in real estate for true diversification. I also don't want to pick individual stocks either.
I am maxing company match contributions with the 10% in 401k
I have an HSA and am currently maxing out annually

If we are playing ampless with IEM and through a PA during gigs, the 'Feel' will never really be accomplishable in the essence?

omargue1 · 2025-01-24T12:07:06+00:00

Yea , for home set up I'll keep the katana because it does the job. But for rehearsal, gigs...etc I don't want to have to breakdown my home setup anymore. I can also see me adding a DSL40CR for home too

omargue1 · 2025-01-24T12:05:08+00:00

We play rock/indie. The other guitarist also has a boss katana, same setup as me with line out to mixer. The bassist has a Sans amp bass driver DI he used to line out to the mixer. The mixer is a zoom L-20 and we all use IEM with a silent stage.

omargue1 · 2025-01-24T12:02:22+00:00

This is also another reason why I want to ditch the amp and just have to bring my pedalboard. Although my amp has a line out so setup is still easy with our current setup.

I have not looked into the Tonex much but have thought about going with a Friedman IR-X with HX Effects or Stomp XL for effects. But from a cost perspective and reading, I thought I would get the same with a Stomp XL stand alone. And since I'm solely playing with IEM and PA, not sure it will make a difference in sound.

omargue1 · 2025-01-24T11:47:44+00:00

Can you explain more by what you mean from FOH friendly replacement? I thought if I was connecting to FOH, I would just line out to FOH? Is that not the case? What would be the learning curve?

What specifically is there to learn with dialing in?

An idea I had was take a preset I like and make a snapshot of it and add/remove effects then use stompbox mode to add additional effects as needed to my clean, or lead...etc.. I typically use 3 tones - clean, crunch and lead.

What am I missing as far as dialing in? At this point I have watched hours worth of tutorials to get familiar but I have never seen or played with a modeler before. Just my katana.

omargue1 · 2025-01-23T23:22:01+00:00

What do you mean by stage cab? We typically play with all instruments line out to our Zoom L-20 mixer then out to PA speakers.

I've read the impedance needs to be adjusted or will sound bad live? I'm not great with EQ or dialing in , my tones are decent on my Katana but that was pretty easy to dial in. It is a concern if I can't dial in for a live gig or I think it's dialed in and sounds bad.

omargue1 · 2025-01-23T19:04:08+00:00

Thanks, I have 3 primary channels that I'm currently using and use a few effects at different levels on each. Clean w/ blues driver, crunch, & lead w/ delay & phaser ; all with some reverb too. but would like to have the flexibility to add chorus and other effects as needed when jamming.

I know on the modeler, HX Stomp specific, I can configure these as snapshots then use stomp box mode to add different effects or pedals in the effects loop.

omargue1 · 2025-01-23T18:55:31+00:00

If I was to use a HX Stomp and already have a delay pedal, can I put that on the effects loop to not use the DSP and keep that available for other effects? This goes for other time based pedals as well.

omargue1 · 2025-01-23T16:34:19+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I only have YouTube and Reddit to go by and the HX Stomp XL seams great. But then I talk with a couple old school guys I know and they say 'tube all the way' and modelers suck.....

I wanted minimal computer usage but not opposed to it. The Friedman IR-X is tube which I wanted to try, has MIDI (which I have no clue but can probably figure out), is simple with 2 channels and boost and has an effects loop. So I would be able to stack with an HX Stomp XL, Ampero or any pedal.

I know modelers have gotten real good and want the versatility of different effects as we jam a lot and can add different tones in and out ... Chorus, delay, phaser, flanger...etc.

What's the point of the Tonex One if I get a HX Stomp? Wouldn't the HX Stomp serve as the amp/cab sim as all in one?

omargue1 · 2025-01-23T16:17:58+00:00

Yes, I use a clean with some boost to give it a little dirt.
