I wanted to mount the HX Stomp on a pedal board where I might add no more than 3 additional regular 9v / 100ma-500ma pedals. What are the budget options out there? Is there any option that would include a power supply which could power, or even better an option which has a battery onboard so that I don't even have to carry any power adapter?

Is there any guide for someone coming from a DAW recording experience on Microslop?

In the past I have used Reaper, eZDrummer to record demos using a Focusrite interface to record electric guitars, bass and play various VSTis.

So far I have tried Reaper with Jack on Fedora and used a Line 6 HX Stomp to record guitars and Hydrogen with some acoustic drums samples, but the workflow didn't feel right.

For instance: everytime I started my session I had to awkwardly reconfigure the routing for my Line 6 HX Stomp.

Hydrogen is nice but it's not integrated in the DAW itself and I wish it was standard midi programming.

I am currently on Fedora 44 KDE. I own no other audio interface other than the HX Stomp. I am not even educated on which audio interface would be compatible on Linux.

I recently got a Yamaha DTX6K5-M kit and have been pleased by the sound I can get from it using ATH-M40X headphones.

I tried using a Hartke keyboard amp for the monitoring and it didn't sound as good. What are some other budget options to have some better sound quality monitoring such that I can play with other musicians (not really loud)?

Another question is: as the kick pad material on this kit not mesh, should the kick beater hit it from the felt side or the plastic side to minimise wear?

I did my online homework and I also got a chance to play one of those new Roland models (not the TD316, I think it was a higher-end set) and I would like to get this community's opinion on what they think would be the best purchase option for my background.

I am not an absolute beginner, but nor am I anywhere near of becoming a gigging drummer. I've only owned and played acoustic drums so far, but now I don't have any drum set and I can't be that loud where I live. As a lifetime hobbyist I love to play different instruments, I used to record at my previous place... but drums is not my main instrument. However, I won't be the only one playing it if I get a set.

I don't know much about electronic drums and I've been trying to learn more about it lately, but I know I want a real instrument, not a toy and also my hi-hats on a stand.

What would be the best option between Roland TD316 and Yamaha DTX6K5-M? Or do you think I should look into another model? (The TD316 is a quite pricey option that would stretch my budget as I would need to get the hi-hats stand, the kick pedal...)
