The Plus Pedal is super duper nice: https://www.gamechangeraudio.com/pluspedal/ It's a sustain pedal but it's got a lot of other subtlety and quirks to it. With just that pedal I can make my guitar sound like organs, cellos, insane searing leads, droning sitars, and horrific synths.
Finally is the HX Stomp: https://line6.com/hx-stomp/ I have mixed feelings on this little dude. It *is* a great sounding unit for the size. I mean, wow for how big it is this thing is powerful and easily controlled. But, it is clearly designed for a gigging musician.

I'm mostly running this into my studio recording setup, so it took forever to make it sound clean with no hiss. If you're playing live it totally doesn't matter, but there's lots of settings that sound like they were sampled off an 8 TRAK casette in a Firebird in the 1960s.

That's probably a product of how they generate the amp models. They used to generate them with physics modeling but now they just record all the pedals and amps and extract the audio responses. Problem is, they seem to not do basic audio cleaning.

As in, I think a dude just turned a Marshall to 11 and shoved a mic in front of it, hit a few standard notes, then went home. No attempt to use noise canceling to remove hiss and hum when silent. They also have random sound levels which is terrible for recording.

So, if you get one then first thing is load up the HX Editor and do this: 1. Set all main out volumes to 0db. Some are at +10db and other -8db. 2. Set all high gain presets to have a gate on the front (or just use your own). 3. Change the global EQ to drop treble and bass.

After that it's good for recording, and amazingly it will record right off the USB into your DAW if you want. But, if all you want is like 2 presets of about 10 different amp/cab simulations in a tiny pedal, then get this: https://atomicamps.com/amplifirebox/ It sounds fantastic.

Like, if you're mostly playing through one amp/cab with 4 pedals, then the Amplifierbox can easily replace all of them in a single pedal. You then can do quick toggle between 2 presets with clean/crunch switching on each and done. I know some folks who could use just this.

That's my setup so far. Hopefully I get this all working and then can do some hilarious streams of me screwing around with it.
