In 1992 Boss released nine new pedals, including the Turbo Distortion (DS-2).

The Metal Zone (MT-2) was released in 1991. In 1983 Boss released the DD-2 Digital Delay, the first mass-produced digital delay in a compact pedal format. Their first compact chorus pedal (CE-2) came in 1979, and their first flanger pedal (BF-2) in 1980. The Boss DS-1 was released the next year, in 1978. Both feature multi-effects units meant to emulate Boss' classic effects pedals.īoss's line of compact pedals began in 1977 with the release of six pedals, all of them discontinued: an overdrive pedal (OD-1), a phaser pedal (PH-1), a parametric equalizer called the Spectrum (SP-1), a 6-band graphic equalizer (GE-6), a compressor pedal (CS-1) and an automatic wah pedal (TW-1). They also are now manufacturing solid-state amplifiers and speaker heads such as the Waza and the Katana. In more recent times, Boss expanded their product range by including digital studios, rhythm machines, samplers and other electronic music equipment. For many years Boss has manufactured a wide range of products related to effects processing for guitars, including "compact" and "twin" effects pedals, multi-effect pedals, electronic tuners and pedal boards. It is a division of the Roland Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer that specializes in musical equipment and accessories.

Regarding latency my setup works really well but I remember that the recording experience through the POD HD was really good.This article possibly contains original research. Right now I'm recording with an Apogee ONE interface and using S-Gear and Mercuriall Spark. The possibility to use the HX Stomp as an audio interface to record DI tracks with no latency for later reamping is something that could interest me also. Never tried an Helix but from what I was able to listen to, sounds really good. Never bonded with the POD HD although I really liked some of the effects. I also owned several Line 6 modeling products: a Flextone II combo amp, Pocket POD and POD HD Desktop. They are using a different modeling technology and the results are quite impressive and much better than POD HD (I’ve owned them all). Jamsden wrote:HX Stomp (and Helix and Helix Native) are not the same as any other Line6 amp modeler, including POD HD. They’re all good, just different, and different is great. S-Gear is focused on developing a new generation of digital amplifiers. Line6 has been focusing on keeping the amp models relatively simple, and modeling existing amplifiers as that is an easier sell. That might be enough to control a typical effects, but might require more HX Stomp patches for different effect options.Īs fer as comparing Helix amp models with S-Gear, I think they’re mostly in the same quality category with S-Gear amps are just different. The only limitation would be the number of footswitches is limited to 3-5. For after amp effects like chorus, delay and reverb, S-Gear already provides excellent options, so there’s no need to duplicate those.

So using HX Stomp in front of S-Gear would be a reasonable option for adding front of the amp effects to S-Gear. HX Stomp (and Helix and Helix Native) are not the same as any other Line6 amp modeler, including POD HD.
