How does the HX Stomp differ from the HX Effects?

The HX Stomp adds amp and cab modeling and IR loading, so it can be a complete rig. The HX Effects is built around effects only, with more footswitches for pedalboard control.

Can it replace a full pedalboard?

For many players, yes. It runs up to six blocks of amps, cabs and effects at once, but complex patches with several effects plus an amp and cab use up those blocks quickly.

Does it work as an audio interface?

Yes. It connects over USB and can record to a computer, which makes it useful for home recording and silent practice.

Can I load my own impulse responses?

Yes. It supports cab and IR loading alongside the built-in Helix cab models.

Yes. It includes bass amp and cab models and presets made for bass players, alongside the guitar content.

What comes in the box?

What reviewers say

Owners rate the HX Stomp highly for its sound and portability, calling it a full rig in a small box. The common complaints are the limited footswitches and the amount of menu navigation needed for deeper edits.

About the Line 6 HX Stomp Ultra-Compact Amp & Effects Processor

The Line 6 HX Stomp is an ultra-compact, programmable amp, cab, effects and IR pedal. It uses the same HX Modeling technology and DSP chip as the flagship Helix processor. It can serve as a "super stompbox," a backup or fly 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 a looper and IR loading. It includes over 300 amps, cabs and effects from Helix, 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 also included.

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 configured for routing such as feeding an amp and a FOH mixer at the same time, 4-Cable Method setups, and studio re-amping. The free HX Edit app lets you edit nearly every aspect of the pedal, save and load presets, manage a preset library, and load IRs.
