Sorry man. Couldn't resist. I was going to get another too.

Glad I picked up that second one. I hesitated for a day, glad I got in on time.

I wanted to try it first Then decided one for the loop might be a good choice

 

[crankyrayhanky]

ok, tried it in extensively in front (tomorrow I'll try loop delays/reverbs)
the good news is many of the pedals sound AWESOME. Love the Strato Boost, Red Overdrive, TS ... and the Stone Phaser is so much fun, it has the watery cool feel.
Bad news is the software is dreadfully inept. I can go 3-6 pedals before it asks me to unplug and restart due to error. It doesn;t seem to be pedal dependent, just happens all the time. Perhaps it is because I have all pedals downloaded into MY Pedals? IDK, but I'm guessing this buggy error filled experience is the reason it has been blown out. I guess once I settle in to my favorites I won't need to keep switching them around as much, but, yeah, lame aspect no doubt. Curious how others are working for them

I went through every pedal and then back around again for a few without any crashes. Maybe you have an app running in the background that its causing an issue?

FYI, my buddy bought MF's very last iStomp yesterday (according to MF rep anyway), but he wanted two. He successfully got GC to price match it... Just FYI

Glad I got one coming since they are sold out now. Strangely the MF e-mail said that its coming in 2 shipments.

If you guys have favorites, please list them. That would help people like me know which ones to start with....

 

[King Guitar]

I bought 5 of them glad I did last week.

Strato-Boost is great. very transparent as a simple clean boost.
Screamer is a great Tube Screamer clone without the Mid-hump
Lexicon Reverb is probably the best reverb pedal i have ever used.
CE Chorus is amazing. I'm not a chorus fan, but this pedal is very simple and warm sounding... if you can call a chorus warm.
Stone Phase is great. Sound just like my actual Small Stone Phaser
Flanger Affair is a nice Electric Mistress clone. Great for the late 70's Gilmour tones.
The Xul pedal is one i thought i'd never use, but it is fun and sounds huge.
Redline OD is a great, higher-gain OD for pushing a clean signal

 

[blackba]

Just got mine today. I have an ipad3 and I can't get it to connect to the pedal. I tried completely powering off the iPad and rebooting and still no dice.

I have an iphone 5c, but I hate to spend $30 for the adapter. Any ideas?

 

[atrox]

Odd. What OS?

Agreed.
I love the reverb and CE-2. Great effects. I have the reverb set nice and bright and it sounds killer. The chorus has depth. Rich.

My Ipad 3 is running iOS7

A coworker has an adapter cable for the 30pin to the lightning and another has an iphone 4s, so hopefully I will be able to try this with a few more devices to narrow down what is going on in the next few days.

Just got mine in today. Hooked it up>>> Guitar>cable into pedal>>>Cable from pedal to front of my Mk III. Used my Ipad2 and everything worked smooth. Mine took about 15 seconds to load pedals, not bad. I would order 4-5 more and be set with pedals

Most sound great. My only want would be able to save pedal settings on the iPads or iPhones and be able to tweak from the devices. But overall for $39 it is awesome.

Mine is probably going back to Musician's friend as I don't need another overdrive, which is what it is since I haven't been able to load anything in. Hopefully Digitech will send me a new cable. I contacted them and they told me to uninstall the app. Power off, then reinstall. Still doesn't work. I have tried it on my ipad3, iphone 5c with apple adapter, and friend's iphone 4s. All have IOS7. Very disappointed right now, even though I kind of expected to potentially have connection issues.

Bummer. I would definitely say it's a bad cable. That sucks. I'm running iOS 7 on everything as well and it's working fine.

I do have an extra cable (since i have two iStomps). PM if you want me to send one your way if you decide to keep trying.

Continuum reverb sounds great in my FX loop.

 

[crankyrayhanky]

that's not the Lexicon one though, right? I need to try that one

Thanks alot for the offer. Digitech responded and they are sending me a new cable.

 

[crankyrayhanky]

oh wow, I wonder If I can get a new cable? I constantly have errors
How did you contact them, through webmail or phone?
