Is it good break up with the neck pickup or or mostly hard rock/metal with the treble pickup?
Can you get a slightly overdriven John Mayer or John Mayhal? Can I get a B. B. King or T-Bone Walker? Can I get a mellow Dicke Betts Jesica or is it just Whipping Post? A J. J. Cale or just a screeching Eric Clapton? Can I get a Hendrix Angel or just Purple Haze?
I think it's an overreach. The high gain amps/distortion on the neck pickup sounds terrible.
The 10 band EQ in the app is difficult to use because
A) moving labels that indicate the db's are hard to see and annoying
B) The delay in sound means you don't have an idea what it sounds like until after you move it.
C) Simply needs more space to use.
The gain and volume are not on the screen at the same time. Every time you increase the gain, you have to decrease the volume, then go back to adjust the volume. Very tedious
The variation of volume can be really painful. Change the tubes and the volume shoots up. Some amps have no volume, others have way to much. More importantly, the engine is too dynamic - apply the same pressure on the low string to the high and the high strings are painfully loud.
The high strings with the neck pickup sound muddy and too loud.
Overall, I would ask, why? Why all these cabinets and mics? How can one distinguish one from another? I can see the frequency response diagram, sure, but I can also change it with a EQ just like any other multi-effects pedal. I don't mean they sound bad. They sound fine. But I don't need a million. I just need one good one. Give me something that sounds like Fender alnico speaker.
Also, why all the amps? Typically, companies make different amps in multi-effects pedals because they can't imitate the distortion well. So, most amps can be ordered by the degree of distortion. However, this is not the case with the Stomp. There's lots of amps, some of which barely sound different than another.
I mean, all the amps sound good clean or just break up. All the cabinets sound good good clean or just break up. Is it fun to have an AC15 and a AC30? Ok. Is it fund to have 5 different Fenders? Sure. But why am I paying for all this? What is the point? Just give me a good amp, some pedals and good alnico speaker.
Because the problem with the Stomp is that high gain on the neck pickup can sound pretty artificial and like a computer.
