The HX Stomp is a compact multi-effects processor that brings the amps, cabs and effects of Line 6 Helix to a pedal-sized unit. It uses the same DSP chip and HX Modeling technology as the Helix. It can serve as a "super stompbox," a backup or travel rig, a tone expander alongside other modelers, an audio interface, or a complete guitar or bass rig.
It runs up to six processing blocks at once, including amps, cabs, effects, a looper and IR loading. The library has over 300 amps, cabs and effects, including effects from Line 6 M-Series pedals and classic Line 6 stompbox modelers such as the DL4, MM4, FM4 and DM4. Bass presets and individual bass amp and cab models are included. Split and parallel signal paths allow simple or complex signal chains.
Three capacitive-sensing footswitches with color-coded LED rings and a 320 x 240-pixel color LCD handle control and editing. The I/O can be set up for routing such as feeding an amp and a FOH mixer at the same time, 4-Cable Method operation with an amp, and studio re-amping. The free HX Edit app lets you customize the pedal's operation, save and load presets, manage a preset library and load IRs.
