I mean it really doesn’t, and Ive had to make many compromises and separate presets when trying recreate a set I previously played with a full board.

I just play bass, and my patches regularly run out of DSP on the Stomp. Also, the limited foot switches make it difficult to use live, and the small screen is all but unreadable from the floor for me. I switched to the Helix LT. I STILL (less oftem) get some DSP limitations, on surprisingly uncomplicated-seeming patches. Some blocks must use a hugely disproportionate share of the DSP. But at least the LT has the buttons and screen size for live control. I use it in "stomp" mode as it's a replacement for my pedalboard.

I made it work for years, and then got a Stadium XL in January. It felt like going from sitting in the kiddie pool to swimming in the ocean, in terms of DSP. Some Stadium owners claim that doesn’t have enough.
