Bit the bullet today and plunked down my 79.99. How are you guys liking
your stomps? I've been running my guitar through my mains, but I've got to
get an amp and I'm looking forward to putting the Magicstomp on the front
end. Since I started getting back into electric guitar a whole new world of
gear is openning up. I love it :-).

I like it, My live rig consists of lots of Boss pedals and a few assorted
other things and I cannot see me incorporating the MS into my live
set up, but I quite enjoy having it to jam with for practice if I don't want
to break out the live rig.

I could see more use for it in the studio than live.

One complaint,

It would seem the output levels vary quite a bit from patch to patch.
I dont' understand why they wouldnt' be a little more consistent
right out of the box.

db,

I see the same issue with my Line6 modelers. Lots of variation between patch
volume levels. This was a big problem for me until I figured out a workaround,
at least for Line6 stuff. I use a PODxt in an Atomic tube amp for my live
rig so it was especially critical for me when going between clean and distorted
tones.

I compensate for the lower volumes by pumping up the compressor gain on those
patches. This evens out the levels and makes the rig a dream to gig with.

Don't know if the Yamaha has a similar capability but it might be worth a
look.

My 2 cents!
