Amplifire effects loop in position 5, i.e. after internal amplifire fx.
Probably.
Nearly always mono. Unless I particularly want to piss off my mates who I jam with.
Headphones used only when i have to.
If you find one used and can stretch to it I highly recommend it. There are 5 different delay types with some extra features like the Obscura has but the thing that makes this special is the Abbey Chamber Reverb. It's the Phil Spektor sound with distortion applied to the reverb to simulate a crowded room. It's amazing, just amazing.
There are 3 reverbs in total giving the pedal * different effects. It's really simple to control and really quick to get the sound I wanted from it each time.
If I hadn't just got a Helix FX this would be on my "Get that one again" list without a doubt.
MXR M300 reverb is the bees knees.
The attraction of the HOF2 is therefore the toneprint and MASH capabilities which gives a lot more flexibility.
Amplifire also has a pitch block so for now the pitchfork is on hold. The tracking on the Amplifire pitch block is OK, rather than brilliant, especially on chords, but there are lots of options with dry mix and 2 pitch voices that are adjustable +/- 2 octaves and for mix. Does anyone know how good the tracking on the pitchfork is? It would need to be noticeably better for the pitchfork to earn its place on the board.
I'm going to take a proper look at a Zoom multistomp, but in general I think I need external pedals that do one thing very well, rather than many things pretty well (the Amplifire internal effects already play that role).
I'm now struggling to get my head around the signal path. I want to be able to put the drives / boosts before the amp and the reverb and looper at the end of the chain. Amplifire has one loop, but you can alter the position of it in the signal chain.
I think this means putting the drives and boosts before the input and the reverb and looper between the amp and cab block (there is no option to add them after the cab block and I don't think they would handle the line level outputs from the Amplifire well).
