StompIO receives an "Editors' Guitar Player Pick Award"
"...it's like having your own custom-made Bradshaw pedalboard"

For more than 40 years, Guitar Player has been feeding the obsession of musicians who live and breathe guitar. In the magazine's recent issue, StompIO was put to the test and came out an Editors' Guitar Player Pick winner.

"The StompIO is built like a Pentagon bunker. In a brilliant piece of engineering, IK installed a long metal handle along the I/O side of the I/O, so to speak."

"In addition to making it easier to carry the unit, this bar helps protect the inputs and outputs by running interference between cable ends and any stray feet. All the footswitches feel solid, and even the plastic parameter buttons can be easily and safely operated with your Doc Martens. This is good, because it would be a drag having to program the unit by bending down to the floor and working the controls with your hands, and it would certainly defeat the StompIO's purpose if you had to place the controller on a table to program it. But thanks to a large clear LCD screen, and a simple, intuitive programming system with minimal layers, all
operations and software edits can be easily managed with your feet. In fact, any player used to doing the stompbox dance should master the StompIO in no time."

"Six of the ten footswitches allow you to enter edit mode, adjust parameters, exit edit mode, move up and down through the banks, turn on the tuner, and tap tempos. Now, you're left with four switches (A-D) that can each choose patches from among -count 'em- one thousand banks! That's right, you could conceivably have four thousand presets on this baby."

"I found StompIO very easy to use. The software installed with no fuss, and
authorization was quick and painless. The manual is clearly written, and I was programming my particular preferences in no time. The unit synched perfectly with its dedicated controller pedal, as well as with a Roland EV-5 and an M-Audio MGear expression pedal. These pedals offered control over wah-wahs, delay blends, and even the cutoff filter of AmpliTube 2's cool Crusher bit-reduction pedal."

"IK Multimedia took its time developing the StompIO, and that has paid off in a bug free, well thought out, and incredibly versatile piece of hardware to go with the company's top-flight modeling programs. The package is actually pretty awesome. There's so much control over so many cool amps sounds and effects that it's like having your own custom-made Bradshaw pedalboard -albeit without having to pay the high cost for a custom rig made by the team that builds boards for tons of guitar stars. The StompIO package is a 'win' on so many levels that it wins an Editors' Pick Award."
