It’s probs been covered extensively not been on here in a few months, looking potentially at grabbing a decent amp modeller for recording/prac and id like to use it live in stereo with my amp.
How are people finding either the iridium or hx stomp after living with them for a while?
Would like a kemper but not got the monies to drop on that plus I’ve heard some good tones from the helix stuff live so I’m intrigued by the stomp and the iridium as I generally think strymon make products that are great quality and last. Line 6 im defo more skeptical about for longevity...
Generally I’m not bothered about effects, as I’m running into my board. Want great tone and feel if possible...
Thoughts anyone?

@Wazmeister what you been feasting on these days?

If you don't need effects, bass amps, acoustic IR's, multiple amps / cabs, audio interface etc, then the Strymon would be easier to deal with on a pedalboard. Simpler and less power hungry for a start and pretty plug and play with no learning curve.
I'm happy with the Stomp, but if I didn't need the things on the list above would have gone for the Strymon for simplicity.
But as it stands the Stomp is the hub of my board / practising / recording setup, so the Strymon wasn't an option.
@JohnCordy despite the failure of the strymon for amp tone and feel which did you prefer?
Heres my thoughts on the whole Hx stomp Vs Iridium thing!
Had a Stomp and it's one of those things I wish I never sold. Didn't realise how handy it was til I got rid of it and my playing at home time went back down to almost 0. The usb interface works perfectly for recording or just jamming to tracks on the laptop and I/O and FX wise the whole thing is really flexible. For instance I could use it through headphones for playing at home, or just as an FX processor with a real amp with a band, with the option to go direct to PA as a backup. Iridium won't give you any of the fx or interface options. I'm gonna get a Stomp again soon I think.
Can the HX run two amps one L and R?

had my helix 4years and still haven’t tried everything, it’s a toolkit, pick the tools that are appropriate for what you’re trying to do
