Does the HX Stomp sound like a Helix?

Yes. It uses the same HX modeling technology and DSP as the Helix family, so the amp, cab and effect models are the same.

Can it replace a full pedalboard?

It can run a complete guitar or bass rig, but it has fewer simultaneous blocks than full Helix units, so large boards may need external pedals.

Can I use it as an audio interface?

Yes. It works as a USB audio interface for recording, and its I/O can be routed to feed an amp and a mixer at once.

Does it support MIDI and expression pedals?

Yes. It has MIDI control and accepts an optional expression pedal and external footswitches.

Does it include a looper?

Yes. A looper is among the built-in effects.

Yes. It can serve as a complete bass rig, with bass amp and cab models among the included HX models.

What reviewers say

Reviewers and owners rate the HX Stomp highly for its sound and size, calling it a genuine Helix in miniature. The recurring complaints are the small display, the limited number of blocks and the learning curve for deep editing.

About the Line 6 HX Stomp Multi-Effects Processor

The Line 6 HX Stomp is a compact multi-effects processor that uses the same DSP and HX Modeling technology as the larger Helix products. It includes over 300 amps, cabs, and effects, including a looper. It also has all the HX models from the Helix family, the legacy effects library from Line 6 M-Series pedals, and stompbox models such as the DL4. Up to six blocks (amps, cabs, effects, and IRs) can run at once.

It is small enough to fit on a pedalboard, in a gig bag pocket, or in the top pocket of a Helix Backpack. It can be used as a stompbox, a backup or travel rig, a tone expander alongside other modelers, an audio interface, or a complete guitar or bass rig. It works through an amp and pedals, or direct to a mixer or recording setup.

Controls include a 320 x 240-pixel color LCD and three capacitive-sensing footswitches with color-coded LED rings. MIDI and an optional expression pedal and footswitches allow external control. Two effects loops let you place your own pedals in a preset's signal path. The I/O can be set up for routings such as feeding an amp and a FOH mixer at the same time, 4-Cable Method operation, and studio re-amping. The free HX Edit application is used to dial in amps and effects and to save and load presets.
