Is the Jet Micro the Perfect Companion to the HX Stomp? | SnapShots, Presets, Looper and Much More!

[@Lukas-mu2tw]

Dude you’re a genius. That or I’m stupid lol. Your looping technique with recording a “blank” loop first to avoid the popping is exactly what I have been looking for. Not even the main topic of the video but I’m so glad you shared that I really appreciate it. I’m thinking about getting the pod go but still on the fence because the stomp is such a beast

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Oh man...that's awesome! I actually learned that trick from another KZbinr years ago! And it hit me the same way...I was like that's brilliant!!! Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!

[@liorodriguez7998]

I just got my Jet Micro yesterday, once I worked out the kinks I was very pleased with it’s amazing ability to really unlock the Stomp. Good stuff!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Lio Rodriguez thats awesome man!

Hi Jimmy, hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I love your videos and your enthusiasm. I'm relatively new to midi. I went with the Disaster Midi Baby 3. I'm controlling an hx stomp and an h9. Hopefully I made the right choice. Blessings to you and, keep up the good work.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

That's great man. How's it been going so far with the Midi Baby?

[@joewrightmusic790]

@@HeyWorshipLeader Hope you had a Merry Christmas Jimmy. The Midi baby 3 is coming along, but man there's not a lot of videos on it. Blessings!

[@jimmidelay]

Hey man! Love your channel. Can you use the Reverbs in the stomp to create pad loops with the Jet Micro?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Yes, you can create a pad loop with the looper, which can be controlled by the Jet Micro. I actually made a video about that a while back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2LZaZKXjq-fZtk I hope that's what you were asking. If you meant using a reverb effect to drone under your playing like the EHX Freeze pedal, I have not found an exact replica of that in the stomp. But I did get close in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHSQYX96n9-BnJo Hope that helps

[@hectormguitar]

thanks for the video, you help me (finally) to decide.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

That’s awesome man! @jetpedals did a great job on this product.

[@jayteesgear]

Awesome! I just saw the new HX stomp XL and about had a heart attack... this makes me feel better haha

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

haha...I know!

[@jayteesgear]

@@HeyWorshipLeader Do you have a fave amp sim in it? Mine would be the PRS Archon

[@mlewmisc]

Have you encountered an issue with an audible delay in the start of a loop when using the looper function from the jet micro? I have this sauce and it’s frustrating…

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I haven't used the looper that way in a long time...I'll have to check it out...but I do remember liking to use one of the Stomp switches because it felt more responsive

[@mlewmisc]

@@HeyWorshipLeader Thanks -- please let me know what you find. I've had an issue with looper latency using the jet micro and was told it's a common issue with midi control of the looper. Would love to hear your experience

[@justintallison]

Hey Jimmy, I’m a local worship leader outside of Wake Forest NC. I am primarily an acoustic player and that is my comfort zone while leading but I am about to take the journey down the electric guitar road playing mostly rhythm with both electric and acoustic. We have a lead electric player who has the POD Go and seems to be totally satisfied with the all in one unit. I am in the market for either the HX stomp or the Pod Go. Which do you think would be a better choice? I would love to possibly meet up with you in the near future since you are in the Raleigh area. Great channel man. My gut is leaning towards the hx stomp….. I have watched about all your videos regarding the stomp but was wondering what your thoughts were. I definitely prefer how small and portable the stomp is but I know I will eventually have to buy the jet midi controller and an expression pedal in which $’s are adding up rather quickly. But will I need it immediately or can I build over-time. I want to pull the trigger soon so I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Hey man! Thanks for reaching out! We definitely need to get together. Email me at [e-mail] so I don't miss any comments...sometimes stuff get buried in the KZbin comments. But yeah...I'm a fan of getting into electric! I have no experience with the PodGo (maybe I'll get one soon)...but the advantages with the HX Stomp is that you have a lot more flexibility in creating tones by being able to create the signal chain you want....the PodGo is pretty much pre determined. And I'll also say that if you go the HX Stomp route...the HX Stomp XL is a really good option as well....unless you are really set on adding your own effects (which you can still do with the XL), the all-in-one capabilities of the XL make it just so easy...Mine fits in my guitar case...so I'm only carrying one thing! Can't go wrong either way...even if it's the PodGo you end up getting...they all have the same effects!

[@drewroze4168]

Love the videos brotha!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Thanks man!

[@JohnMaklary]

Nice demo! So couple q’s 1. Are the buttons far enough apart to be able to comfortably press a single button? 2. Can you share the patch you used? Sounds great! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Hey man, thanks! The buttons are close but very usable. They are also different heights so it's easier to press the back button without hitting the front two. The design is very though out. As with anything, once you get comfortable with it, you probably won't even think about it anymore. As far as my patch, I can share that soon. I'm out for a bit for the holidays, but will share it once I get back.

[@grahamwilson3105]

Graham Wilson thanks bro!

[@hardstones17]

Is this how it sounds really through headphones? if so I am 100% sold on this for my on the go headphone setup since I wont be able to have a honkin' tube setup for a while.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Yes! I there is no post eq or anything. Just recording straight into GarageBand via usb cable.

[@BagusWibisono]

Great content! Which HX stomp profile as the same like EVH 5150? And which one amp profile would you recomend for that?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Thank you! I would do the PV Panama, with a dbl 4x12 Uber V30 with a dynamic and a ribbon mic, with the early reflections cranked around 70% on one of them to get a wide sound. Then set a tape echo and phaser before the amp and a plate after the amp and tweak!

[@alvaroaguirreguitarrista6625]

What Brand are that fx cables ?? Regards and thanks for the video!!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

They Boss Solderless Patch cables. www.guitarcenter.com/Boss/BCK-12-Pedalboard-Cable-Kit-12-Connectors-12-ft-Black-1500000148228.gc?source=4WWMWXGL&storeCode=&source=4WWRWXGL&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItsrxt87W6AIVEp-fCh3bcgXnEAQYAiABEgJJyfD_BwE I was not planning to use those, but my plans didn't work out. You can see the story here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4vHfmBnnd2KfNU

[@greekplayback]

Sound great :) Are you recording direct to the HX STOMP interface?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Eran Dahan thanks! Recording directly from Stomp via the USB and captured with GarageBand

[@taylorspecht2886]

Digging these videos man! What other effects/ amp models did you use on the stomp?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Hey man, I just released my 2 go-to patches! Check them out here: www.heyworshipleader.com/store-1

[@taylorspecht2886]

Hey Worship Leader thanks man! Appreciate the response! 🤘🏼

[@Reyvil777]

How are you running the chain? o have the exact pedals without the midi controller I have a double switch instead

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I walk through it all in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4vHfmBnnd2KfNU The chain goes: Dunlop Vp > Becos Comp > L/mono on the Stomp > Send Stereo out of the Stomp > In/Left of the Specular Reverb > Out L&R of the Specular Reverb > Return L/R of the Stomp. And the Midi just goes from Stomp to the Jet Micro. Hope this helps! I would love to see your board! You can tag me or send to me on Instagram @heyworshipleader

[@jessedearden]

Hey Jimmy, enjoying the videos! I’ve got a question and I’m seeking some advice. I recently got the Stomp and bought a EXP/FX pedal too. I’ve been hearing about problems running out of DSP? So if I can only afford 1 pedal what should I add first?? I was thinking between an overdrive (like maybe Foxcatcher), a reverb (Open to suggestions), or the jet midi? Eventually I will build up, but where would you start?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Good question. I feel like the reverbs are the weakest point and so I would start there and run an external reverb through the FX Loop. But I’m into big ambient reverb sounds. If you’re not, getting an OD you know you love and putting it at the front of your chain is never a bad idea. I actually have both now. JET Reverb and Broken Arrow

[@ken_odd]

Thanks for the video! I have a question about the hx stomp. Does the unit on it's own allow you to turn effects on and off while looping, or do you need the extra buttons on the jet micro for that function?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

You can totally use the Stomp by itself with one switch for the looper and the other 2 to toggle on and off effects! Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

[@ken_odd]

@@HeyWorshipLeader Thank you!

[@BobJones-bh9qz]

Can you use the micro alongside the stomp in snapshot mode to get 6 snapshots?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Really there's no need because you can set up a short press to toggle the snapshots, and long press to toggle other parameters fo faux snapshots...or use the 3 switches on the stomp for your 3 faux snapshots...that's actually what I do a lot. Does that make sense?

[@BobJones-bh9qz]

@@HeyWorshipLeader it does, thanks for the response

[@dan.murray]

What amp model are you using? IR?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Dan Murray hey man. I am pretty sure this patch is the Fawn with a dual cab. No IR. I might do a video of the patch soon.

[@gutemovaramfinanzas]

A jet micro and a dual switch can be used simultaneously in a hx stomp 3.0? Thanks

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

The JET Micro used FS4 and FS5 to scroll up and down presets I believe. Which is what the dual Foot Switch would also use...but if you have a jet micro...I don't see needing another switch...

[@picjv]

Yo!! Just found this video and it's killer. In this are we hearing the headphones audio? If so, can you plug IEM directly and hear without an amp?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Thank you so much for the encouragement! Yes, there is a headphone jack. You just need to get this: amzn.to/2Xq1QiF

[@wiloman82]

Is this board same size as a pedaltrain nano +?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Mono Lite +: 18" x 5.7" x 1.5" (amzn.to/2x9UGoy) Pedaltrain Nano Plus: 18" x 5" x 1" I went with the Mono board because the Dunlop VP mini is right at 6" and I didn't want it hanging over that much.

[@jobbo89]

Will this work with changing presents for the Source Audio C4 at the same time?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I don't think the JET Micro is designed to change anything else. I think there might a be limited work around using a PC message to bring up presets, but I really don't understand it enough to give you sound advice just yet

[@MDK2323]

Does it come with a MIDI cable, or should i look into picking one up before mine arrives? Thanks!

[@braxtonblomquist]

MDK2323 I need to know this too

[@joaguilar7]

Wow nice review!! Can you make a Demo of your HX Stomp Settings? Love to see how you use it (amp, cab, delay, etc)

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Yeah, that's a good idea! Thanks man

[@paul.m633]

Hello good demo! are you using overdrives just the hx stomp? are hx stomp sounds good stacks with other overdrives ?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I ran my JHS Double Barrel V3 into this rig and it sounded amazing. Only reason I didn't keep it was to keep my rig small. But it works really well with other drives for sure!

[@nudsh]

When I look at a pedalboard like this, I ask, why didn't you just buy a Helix floor? You spent the same and the floor would do so much more than this rig.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I feel you. For me, it's a tactile thing and not merely a practical decision. I've always had individual pedals and love that feeling. But I also want the flexibility of amp/cab sim, a dependable product, and ability to still play with gear and interchange things that the Stomp gives me. A lot of it for me is how it makes me feel as an artist. I have never liked all-in-one boards (at least visually), so this gives me the best of both worlds. Also, I was able to do this project without spending anymore money! Since I sold gear to purchase gear. What do run?

[@IsaacFlowers]

I would say you’re also paying portability. I have a helix and use it for acoustic guitar, electric and bass. But for smaller gigs I just want to have the hx stomp, the jet micro, and the mini Dunlop volume pedal on a pedaltrain nano pedalboard. The footprint would be 14”x5.5”. Such a small footprint! And the upcoming year line 6 will be adding 2 more blocks to the hx stomp. So a total of 8! That’s insane. You will for sure be able to use this as a stand-alone all-in-one pedalboard. If you bought everything new, in the U.S. with taxes it would come out to $1100 including taxes. For an extremely portable board that can do almost anything, amp modeler and a ton of effects. If you go on craigslist, reverb, or buy something open-box, you can definitely get this rig for around $800-900,

[@nudsh]

@@IsaacFlowers , I finally downgraded the Helix floor to the HX Effects + my tube amps or a tube pre-amp pedal and/or wah/vol. This is where I finally found my portability. I never used the amp models in the Helix Floor much and have found that a decent distortion or crunch pedal pre-clean gets me there for short gigs if I don't have my preferred amps. I still have a full stomp board, but that is my home jam rig that has all my favorite 80's rock sounds. I leave it parked in front of my Blackstar 40.

[@creepyarticle]

hearing your pick with the wet signal is so annoying hahaha that's not an acoustic guitar yo

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

This is great feedback! I agree. I am making adjustments to my new videos. Thanks

[@ShreddingFinn]

Pretty pricey though

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I honestly haven't done a lot of price comparisons. Are there any you could point me to at a better price range?
