The HX Stomp is a compact 3-footswitch multi-effects and amp-modeling pedal built on Line 6's Helix platform. Each preset holds up to eight blocks mixing amps, cabs and effects, and the unit also works as a USB audio interface with re-amping. It suits players who want Helix tones in a small board-friendly box, but it runs a single SHARC processor instead of the Helix's two, so complex presets hit the DSP ceiling sooner. Reviewers rate the amp models and effects highly and note the small screen and menu diving as the trade-offs.

Owners praise the sound quality of the Helix-derived amp and effect models and the compact size that fits on a small board. The most common complaints are the DSP limit on complex presets and the small screen that makes on-unit editing fiddly.
The Line 6 HX Stomp is a compact multi-effects and amp modeling pedal built on the Helix processor line. It has three footswitches and runs on a single SHARC ADSP-21469 processor, where the Helix uses two. It carries the full Helix library of amp, cab and effect models, and it can also be used as a pro audio interface with re-amping.
Each preset can hold up to eight blocks, including amps, cabs and effects, and the controls can be assigned as needed. The pedal has 126 presets for guitar, bass and keyboard. They are organized by instrument (guitar, bass, keyboard, acoustic) and by application, such as direct to a PA system or a 4-cable amp setup. Many presets are already configured for the 4-cable method.
The 4-cable method places drive, EQ, filter, wah and fuzz effects in front of the amp, and delay, reverb and modulation after the preamp. The three footswitches are capacitive touch switches. Touch a switch, make a change and save it. Each switch has a bright LED to show its status. The pedal uses true bypass and supports third-party IR cabs. For recording, USB audio runs at 24-bit/96kHz.
