That was the missing link, thanks a lot!

So i finally decided that 3 switches is not enough for my Stomp. I saw multiple suggestions for the Ampero FS 1 as a cheap way to add the switches 4 and 5, so I bought it. Plugged it in, assigned an effect to FS 4, but nothing happens. I did tell the Stomp in Global settings to regard switches 4 and 5 as FS 4/5, so I really don't see what the problem is here. Maybe a faulty unit, or am I missing something?

Just a matter of time before people start telling you to just buy a full helix...

Yep, this is possible. You can do this by programing your buttons individually through the command center. It will be a hassle if you plan on using multiple effects or parameters for your lead boost, but it is possible. Buy the Stomp, figure it all out yourself, not through videos, and sell it if you don't like it

If your pedal-maker wants to set up shop in the EU, then let us know ;) Importing from the States is a chore indeed

I recently came across the pedalnetics stuff. They make buttons that you can attach to the Stomp, very space efficiënt. https://pedalnetics.com/product/helauxy-duo/

Since I use the Stomp with the HXFX, I already have the modular setup you seem to be referring to. It does require some extra steps to make them communicate to eachother, but I like having the option to just take one of them with me depending on the situation. And of course I have a seperate exp pedal plugged in as well. I don't see how the L6 stuff can get more modular than this..

Greetings, After a long time of just running my HX FX into the front of my amp, I finally decided to buy the Stomp to have a direct solution. The idea is to combine them, using midi and possibly 4CM if needed (think Ill just use the Stomp to handle the effects before or after the amp sim). == Yes, maybe I should have bought an LT to begin with, but this is modular and I can still just use my old setup with my amp without taking a big LT with me. == It's going to require quite a few cables to connect all of this (4CM + midi + exp pedal(s?) + 2x power supply). Therefore I'm thinking of creating a small pedalboard with just the Stomp, HXFX and an exp pedal. For power, I know the DC7 from Cioks would work, using the appropiate cables. However, I would then be using only a fraction of the potential of the expensive DC7. My question: would the Cioks Sol also be able to power this? I can't quite figure out what the difference is between the DC7 and the Sol, apart from the amount of outputs... It seems to me that I would use 4 out of the 5 outputs of the Sol (using two y-cables), leaving one open for possible additions. Or am I missing something? Powering pedals is very new to me. Or is there another power supply that would be worth checking out? (preferably cheaper..) Any help/advice would be appriciated.

Thanks for the reply. I am not sure which volume knob you want me to crank. My HX Effects does not have a volume knob...

Recently I had two amps sitting next to each other, and I was wondering what would happen if I'd use both of them simultaneously. So I used the L and R outputs from the HX, each going to one of the amps. Best sound I ever had. Have been reading up on using multiple amps since, and I am wondering whether it should actually be this simple. Shouldn't I be using an ABY pedal for this? I'd rather just use the HX, and it seemed to work... My questions: - When using the L/R outputs like this, is the signal strength halved or does the HX compensate for the splitting? - Are there benefits to using the Send output instead? - These particular amps didn't seem to have phasing issues. As long as I don't add additional pedals and I stick to these amps, I shouldn't have to worry about phase right? Same question for ground loop hum: didn't encounter it now, could it come up later with the same setup, f.e. in an different venue? I'm just using mono effects to the front of the amps, and I have no need for switching from one amp to the other. Thanks in advance!

I will just download Cantabile and see it for myself. Thanks for the advice and sorry for the misguided questions. It is quite daunting to enter into a whole new way of guitar amplification with so many variables that I have to learn about. Time will tell.

Windows, sorry for not mentioning it earlier.

Allright, I seem to be walking into a rabithole here it seems. Will look into the capabilities of my laptop and whether I am willing to invest this amount of energy. Still wondering whether there is a host that is able to link MIDI commands straight to Native. From my understanding a host like Catabile does receive MIDI commands, but you then have to create multiple instances of Native to switch between, since the MIDI commands do not connect to within Native. I know there are ways within Reaper to give commands directly to Native, but I've read that using a DAW live is just a waste of CPU if a simple host can do the same trick. If the hosting of Native/connectivity is settled, I can then test and maybe perfect my live setup.

Not quite. If everybody already had an HX Effects and an audio interface and a somewhat reliable laptop and the idea to grab the discount on Native, then everybody would do it. If I had none of that, of course I would be far better of just buying a Helix Floor. But since I have what I have, I am thinking of the possibilities. That is somewhat condecending and not very helpful. Thanks for the links. One of them I hadnt found yet after searching Google. Many of these discussions are outdated because Native can do things now that it couldnt do some years ago (mostly MIDI-related stuff). Thanks for the advice! I am aware that any such setup is less stable than just using a Helix Floor. Maybe I will use it only for certain practice sessions where technical breakdowns aren't as problematic. Still hoping that some people here have actual experience that they want to share.

Hello all, Currently I am using an HX effects into an amp. Because I registrered the HX, I got a nice discount on Helix Native. Combined with cyber monday, it was a nice deal. I initially bought Native just for recording stuff, but now that I've experienced the full range of Helix soundscaping, I am thinking about using Native live. To do that, I need an audio interface (already have one), a midi controller (HX Effects could double as one) and a host for the Native plugin. Currently I am using Reaper, but I have read about programs that transform Native into a standalone plugin. VSTHost/Savihost for example. My question: does anyone have good experiences using Native live with either a DAW or another type of host? I already read some sparse info on using midi commands within Reaper, but it seems better to use another type of host that might require less CPU usage than a full-on DAW. Is there a host-type of program that includes midi-commands? I only need to be able to switch between snapshots. Hopefully you guys can help me out.
