I can only speak from a guitarist POV but I went from an AX8 to an HX Stomp (and HX Effects). Soundwise, I couldn't fault the AX8 but from a usability perspective, the Helix family is so much easier. I can adjust an entire signal chain from the hardware whereas even after 2 years with the AX8, I'd still have to hook it up to a computer for anything beyond simple parameter adjustments. I also got fed up with having to adjust presets after every firmware update. The AX8 had so many options to tweak anything you could imagine and sounded ace but I don't miss it at all since moving to Helix. Line6 support is also exemplary.

Thanks @rd2rk however, I'm already using the send/return sockets to insert a Boss SY-200 in the loop. Does that mean I'm scuppered and have to use the main outs ( being mindful of the fact that the volume dial will affect both) Another thought that has just occurred would be to use a volume pedal between the HX Stomp and the monitor - any reason that wouldn't work?

If I am only running mono blocks in HX Stomp, will the left and right outputs be identical? I'd like to run left output to a personal monitor and the right output to the PA/ Front of house - is it that easy?

Hi, I have an HX Stomp incoming but cannot find an answer to the following question in the manual or online.... In Stomp Mode, I can choose 3 blocks to turn on/off with the 3 footswitches. Can I somehow "scroll" to the other 3 blocks to be able to turn them on/off too? Ideally, I'd like to be able to do this with my foot without having to bend down and use the "page" buttons.
