Aaron Weits | HUMAN HX Stomp
Welcome our newest producer, Aaron Weits!
HUMAN contains the exact patches used for each song on Mosaic MSC’s record for the same name. Each patch was designed to provide maximum control with minimal effort, is touch sensitive, and has been carefully designed to maximize the flexibility of the HX Stomp’s footswitches.
“When I first started playing guitar, I didn’t have an amp. My folks got me a Line 6 GuitarPort that connected to a giant Toshiba laptop. Later, I would save up money to buy a real tube amp and pedals—leading to a ridiculous spaceship pedalboard and dual boutique amp rig that with a few taps could send my sound into oblivion. But eventually I realized that a lot of my favorite effects were just DSP, and that the technology in profiling and modeling had drastically improved since I was a kid.
We were preparing to record the new Mosaic MSC live record, “Human,” and I wanted to use a device that could give me a ton of tonal options and signal routing options—enter the HX Stomp. Without the distraction of dozens of buttons under my feet, I could focus on worship and express dynamics with my hands.
It helped me zoom out and think ‘what does this song actually need?’
It’s hilarious to me that I’ve come full-circle, and I’m playing guitar through a computer again. These patches are my first meandering into the world of the HX Stomp—tailored to each song on the Human (Deluxe) record. I keep coming back to them as the building blocks for future sounds. “
“Hi, my name’s Aaron. I’m from Mosaic in Los Angeles.
For the last 20+ years of my life, I’ve been experimenting with the guitar. I'm fascinated by all of its sounds — from vintage amp and fuzz tones to folded loops and ambient textures. In the same breath, I’m so curious about synthesis, and how those sounds can be sculpted and mangled to sound more guitar-like. Somewhere in-between is where my ears like to live. The church has been the epicenter of creativity in my life, and all of my musical and personal breakthroughs have emerged through it. While I’ve found so much creative freedom in my own expression of worship, I’m still discovering new pathways.”
