UPS says my second one comes today. Have tried the reverbs and the choruses briefly they are pretty nice, Angelic is pretty cool. Tying to experiment with the best combo for acoustic guitar. If someone comes across a winning combo for acoustic let me know. Haven't brought out the Les Paul, bought these mainly for something simple for acoustic. Wonder about using the compressor?

My first one is out for delivery and my second one will be here tomorrow. Will most likely be buying one more next week. Also bought the hardwire connectors and want to find a multi adapter so all of the pedals can go into one outlet. Any suggestions?

As stated above, one of the included power adapters will power a bunch with a simple daisy chain cable. I think each stomp uses 150ma. (It says how much I. The bottom of the pedal and I think the power supply says it's something like 3 amps so it will power a bunch. (Check the output on the power supply to be sure how many.)

Will the Ispot daisy chain work? Looks like the same size?

It does. I'm powering my iStomps with a 1Spot daisy chain.

I got a chance to mess around w my istomp last night, albeit plugged into my thr5 and w headphones. Not the best setup, but I got a good idea of the tones available, but I am really impressed with the tones at hand, especially for $40. I am most interested in the tube screamer, but didn't get a good idea of its capabilities due to the lack of real gain available w the thr amp. I'm looking forward to getting 3 more of these (1 will be here today) and building a nice little mini pedal board.

I had a chance to use it just with my acoustic. Impressed with the reverbs. Three are very good. Kind of like the plate, but the others may be more natural. Tried the boost pedal as well. Havent hooked mine together yet. Someday I will brake out the tube amp and the Les Paul but after a couple Neil Young songs I am kind of over my head.

You (and others who've sprung for these) might also be interested to know that you can get labels for all the effects from Digitech. It comes with a dozen in the box (some blank), but they are available here:

I requested all of them at once; we'll see what shows up.

Just got my labels 25 more?

No longer listed at Musician's Friend.

They do have a used one in 'mint condition' for $114.83

Doubleneck · #55 01-13-2014, 10:47 AM

That was close!!! Steve

Matt McGriff · #56 01-13-2014, 02:34 PM

Oh well, I got two. You can get the vans warped special ed. ones on amazon for $85.

Doubleneck · #57 01-13-2014, 02:37 PM

we feel good now, in one week at NAMM Digitech may make us feel dumb?

Matt McGriff · #58 01-13-2014, 02:42 PM

I can't imagine I'll ever feel dumb for buying these for $40, with free access to all of the models. Unless the istomp 2 comes in with multiple stomps in one pedal (like zoom g5), with LCD information when the models are uploaded, for about $70.

I bet that is whats coming, it all depends on price. I have to believe we were getting them at cost.

I want to thank David for getting into this technical mess. If Digitech announces something new this week we could never look stupid at the price these things were. Here is my confession David. My Mac is currently running 10.4.11 and the browser doesn't even work well anymore. I also use ProTools 7.3 on it and I do not want to upgrade either of them. It is my recording rig and a good one. After a lot of research I decided that an Ipad would solve everything for me so I purchased a used Ipad with 65 Gig very reasonable, picked it up today and set it up. I then loaded the Istomp interface and downloaded the free pedals and this rig really works. It is perfect for me to use for recording if I need something. I will never use them all but the ones I tested were pretty cool. They can be changed in less than 30 seconds. So, all is well that ends well. Thanks again David for this public service announcement!-- Darwin
