I think the main question is when is the HX getting an update with more blocks available? Lol even 1 more for an even 10 blocks would be perfect!! But to Phil's point the send/return is able to be assigned to a foot switch, but again there are only 6 stomps so if you use all 9 blocks there will be 3 "always on" blocks that aren't assigned to a foot switch, so the only real "solution" would the ability to have more "always on" blocks. Of course then the problem of DSP comes in to play, but with 9 blocks I haven't had any issues with DSP, and I imagine future updates might make some effects take less DSP, so it'd make sense for Line6 to make more blocks available in the future.
