Thanks for checking it out!

I got mine last week and it's amazing. I've got the Waza TAE (also very very good and huge flexibility on stage), the two notes captor x and the cabM+ but this OX Stomp just sounds and FEELS so much better. I also think it sounds and reacts better than the DynaCab stuff in my Fractal FM3. Don't sleep on the room mic though. It can make a HUGE impact on the sound and (in my opinion) the realism of being in the room with a cabinet. I just played a show this weekend with the UA lion into the OX stomp and a golden boy drive pedal in front and it sounded REALLY good. They need to put some more work into the app though. I want to see how many dB's of gain or cut I'm applying on all the EQ sliders and I'd like to see a volume output percent for the mics and master output. One other thing I did for the gig was use two identical presets but one had slightly higher output volume on the slider so when I toggled the favorite switch between the two, I would get a simple volume boost for solos. The delay switch turned on/off delay. One suggestion I made on the UA forum was to give us the option to have delay ignore favorite changing so it will stay on when changing between favorites. That would be super useful in my situation where I'm doing a lead part with delay on and I need to kick back over to the lower volume preset when the solo is done, I don't want to lose my delay. My FM3 lets me do this with any effect and it's really helpful.

The more Ox Stomp demos I see, the more I'm convinced that the speaker drive knob should have been something different, like a mic panning control, or a "width" control that moves the mics closer to hard pan left and right, or maybe an effects level/mix control. Speaker drive really seems like more of a "set and forget" sort of thing, IMO.

@@SteveSterlacci I'd be all for that! Just got an OX Stomp a few days ago and I'm honestly not sure I can hear the speaker drive doing anything. Maybe it's more noticeable in the right context, but I don't think it deserves a dedicated knob. Would be awesome to customize it.

NIce review thanks, the UA ox is more fun/interactive to play because it's algorythm program not static ir.BTW if i can tell something, i would have not putted it in the loop (double AN/NA conversion) but as it's full stereo it's more interesting to put it AFTER the stomp , less an/na/latency and you save one more block :-) just pan the mic left/right to have full stereo..my 2 cents

A video out there in KZread land not involving the fender tonemaster pro? This is not acceptable behaviour 😉

Can I use only the delay/reverb/compressor without the speaker sim?? So to free some DSP from my HX stomp when I use my Powercab.

Do you think OX Stomp add any improvement in the "feel" department when combined with the HX Stomp? Really torn between OX Stomp and Tonex to try to improve the HX Stomp feel, that in my opinion is a tiny bit lacking...

@stevesterlacci do you think the ox stomp cabs are better than helix overall? I have a full size helix, but am interested in the ox stomp. If I ran it in a loop with the helix, I’d be able to utilize the helix’s xlr outs so I wouldn’t need an additional DI after the OX. dumb idea?

With the new Cab Engine, the HX Stomp is significantly easier to dial in great sounds. I didn't hear anything particularly special from the UA OX Stomp Pedal. 🤷

There's a Modeler out there that could meet just about anyone's needs and budget. 👍 I don't know how much you follow AI, but the leaps and bounds it's making in images and video rendering are mind boggling. I'd like to see something similar take place in Audio/Modeling/Profiling, as there are a lot of similarities in file size, processing requirements, and creativity. The "Matt Wolfe" KZread Channel is a great place to keep up on the breathtaking pace of AI advancements, and I highly recommend it even if you have only a passing curiosity.

Not sure what UA is getting at with their claim of dynamic speaker modelling. Tests have been performed over in Fractal land and it seems as though there is nothing dynamic about their speaker modelling. The speaker drive feature is nothing new and has been a feature with Fractal products for as long as can be remembered. Hmmmm… seems like marketing nonsense. Good sounding IRs though.
