ðŸŽĩ Things Changed

As of 13th July 2019, this is my most updated mini board, version 4.3!
This, is my latest and most updated HX Stomp board v4.3. For some, it is noticed that this version is fairly different from the v4.2 which I planned to build just a few weeks back. The reason, fairly sad, is because I realised that there's simply not enough space to squeeze a Mission 529, an Ionic Audio 9V and power bank all under the same PT Nano.


So I ordered a Mosky Dual Switch from Lazada for a mere $20 to spice things up. Since this little beast doesn't require pedal power, it fits the job perfectly. With the addition of the dual switch, the HX Stomp is now massively versatile. I have set FS4 and FS5 to preset up/down the Stomp, so it frees my 3 other main footswitches for effects bypass.

The dual switch does it's job well and I can foresee many years with it. For now, most likely this will be the permanent arrangement for my HX Stomp board. No sweat.

This version, is no longer possible.
As for the pedals I have bought for "Project Stomp", with deep regrets and hope for a better future, I have housed the extra pedals in another Pedaltrain Nano. Things are rather unstable for that board for now so there won't be any pictures of it. However, there's this guy that just arrived today too!


Back to 2 years ago, I had every intention to get the AMT Chameleon Cab to fit my downsizing needs. But Ebenex didn't have stock of this pedal at that very day I walked into their store so I walked out with a Tech 21 Blonde instead. Today, I was given another chance to acquire this cab simulator pedal and here I am.


Some might ask, why a cab simulator pedal when I already have the Helix Floor and HX Stomp? Well, let's just say I'm here to fulfil some of my past regrets. Saw it on sale on Reverb and paid $95 for it. Anyway, this CN-1, along with a few other pedals, will be sitting on a Pedaltrain Nano, powered by the Mission 529.

Currently, the Hotone Vow Press is sharing that board but things will definitely change again because I've already sold off the Prince of Tone. Planning to pull in another AMT pedal and an OCD variant altogether. We'll see. Until then, I will also hold back the review of this CN-1 so it makes things interesting in the future.

*Update as of 10th July 2020: The AMT Chameleon Cab has been sold for $60. This is the least used pedal in my arsenal, having only been used once on the date of this post. Not sure if my reasons to get this pedal was even valid or not.
