Ok, I got it going, more or less. Two problems I'm now having It seems like all of the effects are distributed evenly between the two amps. But for some reason, the reverb block is only coming out of one amp. It's a stereo block. At the end of a series chain. I've tried other reverbs. They're all doing the same thing. Secondly, I'm getting some weird buzz/noise stuff. I assume that could grounding or loop issues I'll have to track down.

I did manage 4cm. I’m pretty sure those are the connections I tried. And I was getting weird anomalies that I mentioned, I’ll try again shortly and report back.

I’m trying to get stereo effects (from a Hx Effects unit) running through two different amps effects loops. I have followed directions, best I can, to do this via the 7cm and the 5cm. I spent all night doing it, and never got the formula correct. I’m sure I had the physical connections correct. I think it was the internal routing that were off. The most I got were low level effected signal coming out of one channel/side. At one point I had a clean signal on one side and wet signal on the other. Could someone please give a clear, step by step of how I need the patch to be routed. I just had one pat with a stereo fx loop in a block before a string of stereo effects. Ps the 5 cable method looks intriguing to me, as it’s less cables and possibly less phasing issues. I think it’s where you slave one Amps preamp to another’s power amp, and spread the effects over the two. However I only found one video on that. I tried to follow directions. But that is the scenario where I had a clean signal from one amp (clean as in, no preamp distortion or effects) and were from the other. i just want a method that works smoothly.

Yeah, it downloaded and examined it. It looks like it'd work. The only problem with that method is I'd have to go back and put a second path, albeit a blank one, on all of my existing presets. And the ones I use for gigging have all of the blocks used up. So can't insert the required block to get the split point. I wish there was just a global control to turn the inputs into dual mono inputs. Wishful thinking, i guess.

Thanks. I’ll work on this. The bummer is that I have it all set up and working as I want with the effects loop. But that means I can’t use the tuner on the hx stomp for the acoustic. I don’t want to add a tuner. So now I have to do this other routing stuff to get the tuner to accept the acoustic signal.

It doesn't have some weird affect by assuming I have a stereo source plugged in (as opposed to two mono sources to be used one at a time)?

You are awesome, as always. Let me throw one more at you: What if I wanted two mono inputs instead of one stereo pair? So I could run my electric in L input, as usual. And have the VPDI plugged into the R input on the HX for my acoustic patches? All of the tutorials I’ve watched are geared towards having two instruments with two paths plugged in and playing at the same time on one preset. However, what I’m wanting to do is have the VPDI plugged in and ready to go, but only play it when I’m not playing the electric. So it’d be otherwise muted. So, like, when I’m switching between songs.

Thanks so much. Super helpful as always! One more question: Would it be possible to route the tuner on the HX to work on the signal coming through the fx loop in the latter scenario? In other words, I'd love to not have to put another tuner pedal on my board just for the VPDI (which doesn't have an on board tuner).

So, I use my hx stomp as an all in one for my electric solo gigs. I run each out to it’s own powered speaker for stereo sounds. Sounds huge. I recently got a voiceprint di pedal from lr baggs. it’s a di for acoustic that is basically a high end ir maker. The di is mono with mono 1/4 ins and outs. It also has an effects loop. LR baggs strongly recommends it to be the last thing in the chain before the speakers. So I’m trying to figure out if there is a way to route so that: 1) the voiceprint uses the effects from the hx stomp, but is last in then chain. However, while still having the two outs of the hx stomp being used for the speakers so that I don’t have to just go to one speaker from the baggs di. 2) have this be a preset, not global. Because when I switch to another preset for my electric guitar mid set, I’d want the hx to run as I normally do (sans lr baggs di) I tried to go from the send of the di to the return of the hx and return of the di to the send of the hx, and then chose fxloop mono, but didn’t seem to get a signal. Would I need to go from the actual out (not loop out) of the di in the return of the hx and pick return r on the hx, or something? Is this even feasible?

What do I needed plug the stomp straight into the board. Exactly what cables and do I need a di box?

Yes, I know all of this. I also know how EQ works. I simply don't need it for my tone or for any patches. Ever. I go through any other number of options for shaping leads, pickup variants, etc.

It's true that L6 and reviewers stated the blocks were static. I think my misunderstanding is that not big enough of a deal was made about it. To me, that's a huge deal that ought to be in bold print in every manual, ad and review. I guess since it wasn't, I didn't really make the connection. As, again, I'd think such a large limitation would be a larger deal among reviewers, in particular. Not just a passing note. That being said, ok my bad. My 'attitude' of surprise (WTF) was more from me not being able to believe that there wasn't a better solution to the design than this. It just so happens that the Wah and Eq are two things I never, ever in a million years use. And I know I'm not alone. I cant believe there was *no* other option than to saddle us with these two effects. It just seemed like an odd choice, design-wise.

https://youtu.be/6y0JbXC7RnU Well looking at this vid starting at about 3:05 is what I’m getting at. I want a pitch shifter block turned on for on snapshot and turned off for the other. This guy goes to snapshot, hits the mode/edit button which brings up all the pedals, turns one of them of and then hits save, which saves that for whatever snapshot you happen to be on. Since when I do this, the pitch pedal doesn’t appear with the other pedals (even though it’s there as a block in signal flow), I’m wondering how I’d do this.

So I don’t have the a computer handy, so I must edit this snapshot manually. I’m trying to get a pedal in the chain to turn on for just one snapshot. However, I go into edit mode, and that particular pedal is not listed. Just a blank space. But it is clearly in the signal flow/chain. Why is it not appearing in the edit mode. So how do I get it in there, so I can edit it?

Two questions here. I’m really digging using my stomp direct for my solo gigs. I like the small footprint, of course. But I also like the perfect stereo spread of the effects over the PA. The only thing I *dont* dig is that I can’t get an authentic spring reverb sound out of it, which is a big part of my sound. I can’t get that drippy tone. I have an external reverb tank (similar to the fender 6G15, preamp and all). How would you recommend I route it with the stomp going direct? Typically, these types of units would go in front of amp. So should I put it before the stomp? Or should it go in a loop? Also, since this I mono, and I’m liking the stereo spread, would there be a way for me to route the spring reverb to one side of the stomp and have one of the internal reverbs going through the other side? Thereby getting best of both worlds... the springy drip effect as well as the stereo imaging?
