Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Stomp Box.

Features and functionality

  • The JHS Summing Amp is recommended for combining a guitar and stomp box into the same input while keeping a mic line open.

    Source
  • The Logjam Logarhythm extends for full foot use, improving ease during performances, though it's more effective on a rug than a hard floor.

    Source
  • The Puck n Stompa uses electromagnetic circuitry for a powerful bass sound, requiring the sound engineer to start with low volume settings.

    Source
  • Employing a variable notch filter with a dual gang potentiometer allows users to fine-tune the resonance, enhancing the 'kick drum' effect.

Use cases and applications

  • Running a Porch Board through a used Mackie Thump PA speaker is praised for producing excellent sound, particularly when avoiding excessive bass through a guitar amp.

    Source
  • Stomp boxes are excellent for solo gigs, providing either single percussion hits or full drum backing tracks to complement looping performances.

    Source
  • A DIY stomp box with a dynamic mic inside a wooden box is an effective and simple percussion solution for solo performers.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • For setups with a Boss RC500, stomp boxes with mic outputs can be directly plugged into the looper to integrate seamlessly with other effects.

    Source
  • Elevating your foot above the stomp box, such as using a carved skirting board, can reduce fatigue during extended use.

    Source
  • Removing the plastic casing from piezos can improve sound quality, similar to techniques used in electronic drum repairs.

    Source
  • Removing the piezo's plastic casing and using foam tape for attachment can yield better tonal results, akin to electronic drum pad setups.

    Source

Comparisons

  • While guitar amps can handle stomp boxes, a mixer with EQ is advised to prevent speaker damage from excessive bass frequencies.

    Source

User experience

  • Using the Logjam Prolog for multiple songs may cause hip discomfort due to uneven foot levels while standing.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Utilizing a jfet buffer/booster, like the j201 or 2n5457, enhances piezo performance by accommodating high input impedance requirements.

    Source
  • Implementing a low-pass filter with a 250k potentiometer and .22uf or .47uf capacitor can enhance bass response by reducing high frequencies.
