Great to read these reviews!! Any opinions on the ‘premium preset pack’ by Glenn Delaune for HX Stomp? Glenn’s getting some great reviews here on the bigger Helix machines, any thoughts on the packs for the Stomp?? I can only find one pack for sale so far.

I’m using a standard 1/4 inch guitar jack - which I thought was a TRS. I think I may be wrong tho ! Will have a rummage thru my leads as maybe this one isn’t actually a TRS. Thanks for this let’s hope I have one !! :)

Thanku so much for the reply. I have checked these settings - but I will absolutely have another look. It should be working but it’s not. I may have missed something, as u say it can be a bit of a nightmare! All I know is I have a gig soon and so far I can only bank up :(

Hi all, I just bought the TT2 switch by Mission engineering to help run my HX Stomp on stage. After following 2 videos - including one by expert Jason S, I can’t get either of the switches to bank down. The TT2 has two switches that can be assigned for different things. In ‘Global settings’ I was able to assign FS4 to ‘bank up’ but setting FS5 to ‘bank down’ isn’t working. When I press one button on the TT2 it banks up brilliantly. But for the life of me I can’t get the other button (FS5?) to bank down or preset down. It’s great I can go UP but I’d like to be able to move DOWN also!! Any ideas fellow stompers ?? Many thanks :)

This is very valuable information. I will set up my tones using my studio monitors and measure them using an SPL meter. Hoping that I can purchase one to use with my iPhone that’s reliable? I’ll then set my stomp sounds at around 90db as advised. Excellent :) Thanku so much.

Thanku so much to each of you for the replies. I feel better already. There are some really helpful tips here. Like making sure I don’t have a mono block at the end of my chain...and that one IR may suffice. I also will try the stereo effects AFTER the amp & IR. The point re the sound being a model of a guitar amp with a microphone on it - through a PA... that’s a great reminder. I wouldn’t be used to that tone obviously, however a live sound engineer / the audience would. I barely stood off stage out the front during gigs whilst I was playing! Both sounds are real indeed, you’re right! I just didn’t look at it that way. I’m using 2 x EV ELX 200 speakers, both 10” and the matching EV 12” subwoofer. Speakers on stands vertically. Approx 4 metres apart. Assuming a Fletcher - Munson curve may be a phase type thing? I can absolutely get an SPL meter but would need to know where / how I take the measurement? This is sure a big learning curve but worth it !

Hi Fellow HX stomp/Helix users! I'm a newbie and quite confused re how to use my HX STOMP live - straight to the PA as my rig (stand alone) I have some questions! Other than using the stereo outputs at the back, where I simply connect one to each speaker using a TRS/guitar jack...one each for left and right....Is there something else I need to do to make sure I'm getting the best 'true' stereo signal? Any particular settings within the stomp itself I need to change? For each preset so far I've gone in to global settings and made sure the output level is 'line' not 'mic' but its mono . Is there anything else I can do? I have a couple of amazing EV speakers but so far the guitar tone isn't fantastic, some of the presets sound better in headphones. I discovered IR's - which I think is my answer to a more realistic tone. I've been able to start making a few custom presets but I've just seen a video of one of the clever guys talking about IR's instead of using the existing cab models. He split the signal by the looks and uses 2 IR's. (???!!) Is that what I need to do to create a true stereo signal for my guitar? To make it also sound more 'real'? Any tips at all I would really appreciate. I have my first gig with it soon and I'm overwhelmed and confused!!! Many thanks all!
