I had an HX Stomp years ago, but wanted to try other options. Since then I have tried the Plethora X5, GT 1000 Core, and HR Gigboard. They all have there pros and cons, but I think I prefer the HX Stomp better, so I picked one up for 15% off at GC. They had a LE Blue one, so I got that one.

I told you in the other thread that those saddles looked like deluxe saddles.

HNGD. Somebody went black friday shopping.

Happy NGD. Those saddles look like deluxe saddles.

Very nice! Congratulations.

I play my Strat with the same style that I play my acoustic guitar. Mostly strumming, clean tone with chorus, reverb, and delay. I play 9's, and I like the action at about 5/64 with the Fender recommended .010 relief. I could get it down to 4/64 with a flat neck without buzzing, but then the...

Stainless steel frets, ash body, painted headstock, augmented D shaped neck, and tusk nut.

Thanks everyone. I just posted a sample clip in the OP if anyone wants to hear it.

Got this off Sweetwater for 10% off. American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster baby... Sample clip... Pics...

Very nice!!! HNGD

My friend made me a nice block out of hardwood from the measurements I sent him, and brought it over...

I was telling a friend of mine how I blocked my Strat, and he offered to make me a nice piece of hardwood for free, so I sent him the measurements.

Some things that I have noticed since I decked and blocked my bridge are... I seem to get noticeably more sustain. Chords seem to not be slightly out of tune if I fret too hard. Less rattle/buzz when I strum harder. Overall tone seems more focused and fuller. Maybe these things are just all...

I found these shims at the hardware store that you can snap to the length you want... So I was able to make one that would fit tight enough that I had to jam it in there with my thumbs... Bridge is flush... Does this look right?

I think I'm gonna go out tomorrow, get some wood, and block mine.

This is interesting...

Very nice!!! HNGD!

Do you flush the bridge with the body? Just curious as to how many people that never use their trem flush the bridge to the body or not, and why/why not.

I had the HX Stomp for a while and wanted to see if there was a multi effects pedal that I would like better. I ordered a Plethora X5, and it sounded ok, but I had trouble with the bluetooth and the software just seemed a little harder to navigate, so I sent it back and got the Boss GT-1000...

Thank you all for the tips. They are helpful, and looks like I have a lot to learn.

So would this be wet dry?... Dry top, wet bottom?

What are wet effects?

I got the Boss GT-1000 Core, and set up a basic preset. I don't know squat about setting up pedals, so is there a certain order pedals should be placed in the chain? Here is what I have setup... I'm new to this so please explain in a way I can understand it... lol

Sold the HX Stomp and keeping the GT 1000 Core.
