HX Stomp for Bass: The Perfect Mini Pedalboard w/Ian Martin Allison

This is how you build the ultimate mini touring and studio pedalboard around the Line6 HX Stomp. IMA breaks down everything under the hood of how he gets both iconic bass tones and original sounds.

From pop synth to country twang, these concepts and presets have something I think every bassist should check out.

Ian needs to do an entire series on using the HX Stomp for bass. He could provide a total masterclass!

[IanMartinAllison]

Janek you legend! Thanks so much for the lovely hang.

I watched the complete conversation yesterday. I said it to Ian in his DMs, and I’ll say it here: this conversation is easily top 5 Janek Gwizdala Podcast episodes; your similarities are so very core to both of you, and your differences are so very complimentary. More than any other interview I can remember on this podcast, this feels like the musician’s version of actors on actors, and though it’s not often seen done, it’s also a brilliant analogue to a “directors on directors” conversation. Wonderfully done. I look forward to the possibility of you two doing something more in the future, as well as the three of you, including “Mr. Glove” himself. 🙌🔥

The IMA presets have helped me understand sound desingn using the HX Stomp. And for that, I salute him! I just updated my stomp and I saw they added a Noble DI model. Imagine that, a Noble under $1000 that you don't have to wait 32 weeks to get lol. My Noble screamed "Imposter!!" when I plugged the stomp back in and has quit talking to me... lol. And dude... that one note jam was epic. So good...

2 pedal lovers nerding out. I’m in heaven .

That sound with the Fender amp with the spring reverb and trem made me think of the old Twin Peaks theme. Great atmospheric feel!

The HX stomp was always on my GAS list. Watched the brilliant vid and now a purple Stomp is on the way to me. Thanks to Ian too. You both are amazing tone wizards.

I love Janek’s phrasing so much! @ 13:50 after 4 notes I could recognize his vocabulary and note choice.

So fun listening to you guys geeking out about effects, and playing together

[wallace_nelson]

This was such a great video. I would have loved to see more HX Stomp sounds and presets between you both. More Pedals No Problems. Thanks for Sharing.

Such a sweet spirit in this episode. Man, we need it. Beautiful playing. I love the gear. Keep it coming.

[TheBbouge]

Every video I watch with Ian on, I learn something. Thank you for this!

[thisisMRJAMES]

Janek wanted to resolve that note, but nope, wait for it,
Brilliant video guys.

[dominikpalmer]

Guys, thanks so much for that channel! It's so wonderful to listen to you all. That's what we needed. And finally you guys do it. In a sympathetic, competent way.
Thanks!

I also have a simple board comprising - boss OC5, 2 notes revolt (clean, dirt & drive), mini bass wah @ line 6 hx one (I use phaser, chorus, flanger or synth and when not using them I use the compressor or reverb).

[conradsz]

I have idea what they’re talking about for the most part but it’s fascinating to listen to.

[fusdepilee]

Could sit and listen to you two all day, full pod was superb 👍 Also I want an HX Stomp now so my bank account doesn’t thank you…

[Al_Mac]

Watched the whole interview today. Surch a great chat. As I enter my 40th year of being a gigging/touring bass player, I really wish there were bass centric podcasts around years ago. Increadible insight from both of you. Massive fan of IMA from SBL podcasts with Scott. Some of the non bass banter bits are the best😅

[ethanlocke]

I’d definitely love to see more with y’all together in the future!

[RCM-Bass]

Ian, I just added the Sushi Box Neptunium Tube DI at the end of my HX Stomp pedalboard. It sweetens my Stomp so well.

[bassimprovjams]

This podcast was a gem! I loved how when you guys did that small jam there wasn’t a word said it was a look and you both knew you were about to play something together, that’s magical
