All user reviews of 5/5 for the Yamaha DG Stomp

Effects have already said before summers, metal case, and I have not seen marked ... At least I put it! : D

UTILIZATION

Ben is not 100% Plug & Play, one may need tweaking before to get a good sound ... But that do well! With the instruction manual is tip top! We did not bother to look for 3 hours' roh how I put the delay ... And reverb? ' I only regret is not being able to put together several modulation ... With an acoustic guitar and finally electro acoustic suddenly, I like to have a chorus in the background, with my reverb, but suddenly I do not ...
The amp models are top, nickel effects, and the 'distortion' I love it! Distortion in a good lead, a lot of gain, precise ... I would not put the next to the Metal zone but not far! A nice crunch, and sounds clear, really clear!

Patch level and all the good this is a bit hard ... Personally I turned on one, the other is not accessible at the foot ... But we are doing very well! He is sorely lacking for distos switch ... Can not be used to 'distortion pedal, it's either you have a song while distortion, or not! Can damage a shot of ... Whatever happens though barefoot on the knob chopper! But on stage it's a different story! (I play metal, the blow must be careful to rangeos singer: D)

SOUND QUALITY

Ben quality level I do not think I can put 9/10 ... This is a 10!
The effects were well configurable clear, we guessed it by ear this was a Flanger and Phaser or not a Rotary ... The reverbs are nice too, I always stay on the Spring because it is simply one that rang with a nickel distortion! : D

OVERALL OPINION

6 years doing it, I sell it now because I want to find something else, but it is on if I want a multi purpose one of these four, I apportion it without worries! What a great value!

I try a boss only a few hours, I do not recall the name more but I recall the head and it was a lot, but much less than the usable! To change this effect was already a gas factory!

I think its simplicity is a big advantage that one can balance with its incredible weight ... Ben yep, a scrap beast while you feel the way! on the other hand it does not smell your shoes 2.5KG press the switches! Puts you in a Circle pit environments and the spring in one piece, ready to begin! : D

You are looking for a critter simple, versatile, sturdy, effective with high quality? Ben rushes! Benefits there still have some! parties that do pearls! : D

I was looking for something to replace my Digitech RP-7. The RP-7 is OK but it's harder to program. I also fell for the fact that it has a tube in it, thinking that would help get a tube distortion. Sorry, but it really doesn't help much.

Great sounds, ease of use, just turn the knobs to adjust sounds and effects levels. Doesn't get any easier. The only thing I don't like ie the tuner. It's tough for me to use it but maybe it's just me. The tuner on my RP-7 is a lot better. Maybe I'll keep it just for that but I doubt if I'll be using it for effects now that I have the Stomp.

The tuner is the only problem area I have found.

Steel box and mettal switches not plastic pads to step on. Should last a long time. I take care of my stuff. Also, I bought a wood music stand and keep the stomp at arms length away instead of on the floor. It's a lot easier to tweak this way, even while playing.

It's the best sounding, for my tastes, multi-effects box that I have found yet. I've checked out a whole bunch of them too. Digitech, Zoom, Korg.....None are as nice as this one. I really do love this thing!

Mars Music, $299. I was looking for a good travel amp.

To me, one of the best things about the DG-Stomp is the flexibility of this unit. IMHO, this little unit the best backup system yet... Here's why:
- You can use it standalone as a preamp (which really sounds pretty darn good) into an amp, or click the speaker simulator on to go direct to the board (if your amp croaks)
- You can turn the preamp off and just use it as an effect stomp box (if your effects croak)
- You can use it as a midi pedal (if your midi pedal croaks)
- You can use just the speaker simulator (in case you forget your SM-57)
- If you are direct to the board all the time, you can control the speaker simulator by program, so you can turn it off for super shimmery or weird sounds, or for an acoustic.
So, do you see what I mean? For something this small and cheap, this is the best little thing out there for the gigging musician!
This thing even does midi mapping, and can send and recieve CC changes. DAMN!
Very well constructed (metal, not cheap plastic). Buttons are the sturdy switch type. I have no fear of this puppy breaking down.

What is it missing? Noise Gate (for the places with relly bad power/RF). But hey, it is 299 bucks and your guitar has a volume knob. Use it.

Solid as a Mac Truck. Great switches, and the thing is METAL.

One of the best values on the market. Great sounds, portability, and flexibility personified. And no I don't work for Yamaha.

Purchased from Ebay used for $225. Bought to provide recording & stage processing for guitar.

I've tried a whole string of preamp and guitar efx processors over the past year. New units from Line6, Korg, Zoom, Digitech, and the Yamaha DG Stomp came out on top of the heap. What I was looking for was a real tube-sounding efx unit that I could use much like an analog efx unit, and manually tweak the efx and controls in real time. I dumped all of them except for the DG Stomp. It has the most realistic and usuable tones and efx out of the bunch, including the Pod. Easy to use in real-time mode, you can turn on/off the modulation efx (flange, phase, rotary speaker), echo/delay, and reverbs, and program the foot switches for that purpose. The rotary knob allows you to select a wide variety of tube preamp tones, from very clean and spacious to outrageous metal gain. Those settings are also completely adjustable with the range of volume and tone controls on the preamp side. It also has a speaker simulator with a lot of speaker settings, but I tend to leave it on 1 setting for most everything. The overal sounds that come out of this box are real sounding, and not overly processed. If I had to, I could get away with just using the DG Stomp for recording sessions with nothing else. However, I do use an old DBX119 compressor/expander to eliminate the noise that comes from the DG Stomp (there is no noise gate), and I also use a Line6 DM4 Distortion Modeler footpedal to set up 3 preset levels of gain as well for convenience. The Stomp is built like a tank, and I've kept it and plan on keeping it where all the other units I tested I got rid of a few days later. The Stomp is a keeper.

No noise gate or noise reduction built-in but as mentioned I use an old DBX119 to get rid of the noise and unlike a noise gate it doesn't shut off the tail of a signal. I would expect that a Hush unit would work petty good as well. There is a website that discusses how to modify the Stomp to get rid of the internal noise floor (mostly present when the high-gain preamp settings are selected), and this involves removing all of the PCB board screws and isolating the grounding of the board but I haven't tried this method.

Super heavy duty, you could throw it off a roof and it would probably be ok.

Great preamp and efx unit, both on headphones (use the spkr simulator) and into an amp (turn off the spkr simulator). Sparkling tones, realistic efx, I love it.

UTILIZATION

All parameters are accessible via simple knob.
Editing is simple.
The backup is simple.
The manual is incomprehensible (it looks like translated from Japanese to English and retranslated into French) of the wrong word for word.
Fortunately I understand English and English manual is perfect.

SOUND QUALITY

This is the highlight of this device.
The simulations are incredible and it looks like the real amp.
The equalizer is dramatic and it changes everything by turning the buttons!
The reverb is majestic. Not invasive.
Delays and tap tempo very effective.
The simulation of HP has 2 or 3 very fine adjustments.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for only 10 days and I am delighted.
To access the settings as a amp is obviously very simple.
The simulations are also extra-effects.
Only regret the external power supply that could be integrated into French record zero points.
The weight is therefore more stable and make it forces me to wear.
A purchase that I do not regret it! far from it.
(I tried the POD2 and sounds are much worse in my opinion)

Effects: sim amp, chorus, rotary, flanger, phaser, tremolo, delay, reverb, tape echo
trs are good, especially the chorus and rotary, trs pure. the highlight from the pod and the other is the association modlisateurs cheap frquence 48khz/dynamique20bits/sortie numrique spdif.

provides a sound pure and trs trs own in the sound card, direct, there's that as I was using it.
types of sounds are clean, crunch, lead and drive. I find the sounds lead trsrussis, the distortion is really powerful trs, rgler not empty, the sounds are really cleans cleans trs.

sounds are ditables by noon, have little use the same squenceur to change the sound while playing, I have not tried it yet since it is when even a little mess.

so there is a sorites headphone, numrique spdif, analog output stro ...

UTILIZATION

Usage is fairly simple, a little laborious to beginners, but with all the presets is fast even when rgl, the manual is clear trs, but not the strong point of the machine, the buttons are not postion trs well Conua

SOUND QUALITY

I love the clean sounds, great, allows the legalization of all, it's a big Russianness, trs prcis.
I like the simulations, the distos they really make the difference, and they are behind the quality of clean sounds, so big satisfaction.
distos for me, I use especially with the gain back in lead, so diffcile to be objective, but the agreement r dg stomp hard while I use it with my guitar and my bass rg270ibanez, mdiator playing (to play with the fingers I use a DI, but I could do without)
effects rglages trs low color perfectly sound, I have Full Control on my sound, I had not before, but when asked the same job on this machine.
I hate the trmolo, like all multi effects, the compressor is brutal, too, as on all multi-effect guitar, the other EFET are excellent, chorus and rotary head in (the rotary blood run cold! )

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, I love its clean and versatile, I do not like the location of the buttons (you have to let go of your checks scratch amp simulator!) I tried the zoom GM200 before that bote is a small, cheap and surprisingly good trs on distos, but on the quality and sharpness of the dgstomp crasis.
The report price is trs good quality, I think, given the quality of sound achieved, I would do without this choice hsiter (I found occas € 200!) Used you can go there without risk, bote mtallique trs robust.

Vor site or other opinion, I will focus on the sound.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is not simple but the REALLY a student, you get there ...

SOUND QUALITY

The amp models, which possdent no names, and are quite ralistes surprising if one takes the time couraging its pRSET. Indeed, the sounds are clear and respect the trs crystalline sound of your guitar pickups. A laborer can be warm and round with a crunch and very little distortion, a very clear and with the Clean prcis 1. If we add the reverb in qt reasonable, we get a powerful rsultat trs. I add effects pedals, and your exact convinces me really.
I finished recording a self produced album with the CEO for guitars and stomp a AW 2816 for recording (I do not work in yamaha) and I'm happy or trs happy rsultat di!

OVERALL OPINION

Trs a good choice for an amp simulator. I tried other simulators (Vox ToneLab and ToneLab SE, line6 pod xt ..) and I find it the height or more prcis ... So n'hsitez Figure!

Nothing to add to what has been said, if this is a look "scary": it really feels to set his amp's counting?

UTILIZATION

Using real-time is really the highlight of the beast: triturated buttons, they make the sound and playing.

To tickle a little more editing and aces to have additional settings, is a bit more hassle. Better to have the manual handy. In fact it is rather well done ... Apart from the translation of "spring reverb" in French: Spring reverb, as poetic c'es ...

The optional expression pedal is convenient, but a bit difficult to configure. for the wah, is it me who can not do it neither, or the sound is frankly disappointing ... but I think it comes more from me
C
nlike a previous opinion, I think the tuner is still usable and practical to be constantly within reach of a foot (or hand). As against the stage in the dark or with a spot in the eye, it becomes difficult to use!

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is really nickel and varied. the effects are more than enough for one set on stage. And in the studio anyway better record without. Anyway for me it's more than a pre-amp multi-purpose, and that's what I love! The grain of the guitar is respected, even that of electro!

My only repproche is that simulations of clean sounds are really low in volume compared to the distorted sounds. It is realistic, but a shame, because it requires to balance the sounds set the stage for much lower volume of heavy distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

In summary: camera, reliable, sturdy, easy to carry, stable on stage, not a hair out of breath, and it always happens to be his research. And sufficient practical effects for the stage. Ideal for those looking for bigger and more beautiful sound than the electronic gadget. A good preamp rather than a multi-purpose. Look cool.

Not all effects are present but not the philosophy of this unit who wants ultra practice and concrete: no fuss. This is the ultimate in usability: simple effects and effective immediately accessible to foot and hand. Two types of input gain, digital output and presto you're on stage with a real preamp.

UTILIZATION

Very simple to solve. Special mention for the equalizer which is effective without being drastic. Not need the manual except maybe for MIDI. But when we play at midnight ...

SOUND QUALITY

SPECIAL! What sound! The clean sounds are clean, elastic, funky. Crunches and distos have torn the teeth that I love so much and who is not in consort and LINE6 (I had it all ...). Apart Sansamp, nothing sounds as good as this bike. I must say here that I branch direct console via a Palmer base (90 euros) which serves as speaker emulation DI box. Another thing: the CEO reacts to the volume of the guitar. For cons, the vintage sound is not to the extent the essence of vintage gear is located at the absence of certain frequency of wear and time. However, here the sound is full and rich. Voila!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought 10 years ago, had sold, not convinced and I finally bought one a week ago ... it matures.
