No ground lift switch, but no issue with phantom power.
Have you ever considered putting a couple of these together, adding some I/O, a midi floor controller and an integrated expression pedal
I bet that would sell like hot cakes ..

the Helix does (with a camera kit)
For those not sure where the HX Effects and the Stomp sit I’d say get both. For me it opens up a whole range of possible options. At the moment my entire pedalboard is an HX Effects into an Effectrode Blackbird and then into the front of my tube amp and it sounds incredible. It’s really compact and I’d convinced myself I didn’t need anything else. With the arrival of this amazing bit of kit I’m pretty sure I can go into a Stomp preamp block and tweak it to achieve the same thing so the Blackbird could go. I can use the HX effects in front of the Stomp to go to FOH through a split path with an amp and cab and still go into the front of my amp where I like to be. I can store a whole load of IRs and change them using MIDI with the HX effects as the MIDI controller. I can program a few presets so the Stomp can act as a backup if the HX effects goes down (mine has frozen numerous times). I can use the Stomp as a stand-alone effects unit and DI for acoustic gigs. I can put the HX Effects through the Stomp and use headphones for practice. I’ve got a few extra blocks if I need them - when the new pitch effects arrive that’s going to be very useful. I can probably do much more when I get my hands on one and can see what it can do. Yes I could probably achieve all of that for a similar price with a Helix lite but it would be bigger and more cumbersome, wouldn’t give me a backup if it went down, would be overkill for acoustic gigs, wouldn’t have scribble strips, couldn’t detach anything like the Stomp bit to take on a plane or a holiday etc etc. It just wouldn’t have the same versatility. All this choice is phenomenal. It’s a no brainer.
I did ask about that on the FB group - is there a specific reason for that limitation?
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
