I have been using the Shadowstomp for a few years and its a hit. Never gig without it now.

Yeh, playing it standing up takes conditioning and practice. But you will learn how to do it safely, comfortably with time.

You can do straight time on it or double kicks or accent hits. I use it to keep a beat going so I can solo as well.

Its something you play. Its not a drum machine. You have to have timing and consistency and train to play it right. I go into a small mixer with it along with guitar and just run it clean.

This is made of bubinga with a humbucker inside. Its important because the wood has qualities and the kind of shoes you were, the way you hit it, changes the tone and volume. I cannot see using a fancy gizmo here. This is real.

That is the way I think you should go. Playing a stomp box takes a ton of skill. Most of you out there cannot keep a steady kick, I guarantee. This will teach you to do that.
