Ok! Well, I solved the problem by launching Line6 updater on my wife’s mac. I’ll read the release notes out of curiosity, though. The manual that I downloaded does indeed recommend the procedure that I describee. The Stomp seems to work fine with HX Edit on windows, which is nice.

Hi! I just bought an HX Stomp. I followed the manual. Having a Win10 PC i first installed the USB-driver. I then downloaded Line 6 Updater. I connected the unit with USB, turned it on, launched Line 6 Updater and... nothing. The program doesn't start. At all. Interestingly, Line 6 Updater launches if the device is disconnected, which defies the whole purpose of the program. In fact, I even tried to launch the program and then turn on the HX Stomp. The program quits immediately. Help!

Thanks for a very informative reply! Just one more (certainly dumb) question: when you add a pedal in the unit's fx loop (for instance a distortion pedal which is not modelled) does that take up any DSP or, as I guess, just a little quantity?

Rd2rk, thanks for the reply. What are the advantages of parallel processing? Is the DSP in the Stomp substantially bigger?

Sorry, Silverhead, you're perfectly right. I'll try to be clearer. I am a complete beginner when it comes to digital modelling. I guess that I am asking this: what are the advantages of the HX Stomp vis-a vis the Pod Go? Is it just a matter of form-factor (i.e. more switches vs better portability)? I read that the HX Stomp is more flexible when it comes to organizing the effects chain, but in what real life scenarios does this added flexibility really pay off? What makes you prefer one product over the other?

Hi! I am an amateur guitarist in search for a good modelling processor. After some reading, I have boiled down my options to two Line 6 products: the HX Stomp and the Pod Go. They are in the same price neighbourhood and seem really nice. What should I go for? My criteria are: 1) Good build quality and reliability. 2) Good tones (duh), but as far as I understand the two devices are identical from this perspective. 3) Good headphone listening quality (I want to practice when I am away from home). 4) Good interface. Thanks! Filippo
