Right play loud to get the sound in the room at 85-95 db, but it terms of a double check ( beyond just using ears) if the hx is outputting a measurable -12db into a DAW AND it sounds good into a guitar amp then is it safe to assume it will be good at the gig with a couple of small sound check tweaks.?

yes thanks - makes sense. So then for testing purposes I read that people level presets that are going ampless to about -12bd in a DAW - would it be the same if going into a guitar amp or a different value to aim for.

Still new to Hx Stomp XL and trying to see if it can replace my big board for fly dates. Late at night ( low volume into my Princeton Reverb) I made some patches that sounded good. They had some amp sims in the middle of the chain and I turned up the gain for my dirty snap shot. Now at higher volume practice during the day these sound a bit shrill, and I am thinking that perhaps it might just be best practice to not put any amps in the chain for patches thaat I will be plugging into a real amp? Is this what most people do, and then have a second version of that patch for amp-less gigs with an amp sim included. Curious....

Very cool - thanks for the info - I hope Pete Celi, Terry Burton, and the folks at Line 6 are all still pals. So many players ( including me go back forth between these products all the time) I am also a big Source Audio fan / user.

Sure of course I am using snapshots to change tones within a song, but between songs ( where I might be changing instruments) I certainly need to change presets without making the sound techs ( and audience) hate me. Should there be a way to do this. People are not using the same preset ( with different) snap shots for an entire gig?

I bought my hx stomp xl used from a retail store and I dont think it has the original PSU ( which I understand is not desirable anyway) The PSU i have is too short and too bulky at the outlet so I want to power it with my GODLYKE 2000ma PSU https://godlyke.com/collections/power-all-digital-power-supplies/products/copy-of-power-all®-eco-dapter®-deluxe-kit It comes with a green adapter cable that is 2.1 - 2.5 and says for Line -6 - but it does not work. What adapter should I get ? Please note this is only for situations where I will be using the HX STOMP on its own. For situations where it is part of a larger board I have the voodoo labs current doubler to power it from a Voodoo labs brick type product. Thanks

yes thanks for that but was hoping for the screw back in variety that fit rather than the self adhesive option...... Everything I found sofar on google looks too big like the Dunlop stuff. I thought someone here might know about the line 6 specifc parts and where to aquire them.

I want to set my very old Line 6 - EX 1 beside my very new hx stomp xl and use as an expression pedal. The rubber feet that screw into the ex-1 are long gone. The readily available dunlop wah rubber feet some with screws that are too big. Where / how can I replace the rubber feet for my ex 1 Thanks

Great answers - very helpful thanks for that

Hi am relatively new to Helix ( I have the HX Stomp XL) I am trying to get it setup and running well to replace a big board for fly dates. On my big board I am a heavy user of volume pedals for all kinds of reasons. So naturally I started building my presets with a volume pedal block in most of them. Then I realized this is a waste of a block b/c I can assign the expression pedal to control "level" in an eq, amp, compressor, reverb etc etc. So now I am curious to know if / why do people use the volume pedal block instead of just assigning expression to level in an other block. Know what I mean?

Ok - good to know I have not yet gone through the process of leveling out the gain of different presets. I will do that AND move looper away from last block. Hopefully that makes this thing useable on stage. ( I am new here so I only ever used 3.5)

Great tip I'll check out the video you are suggesting. So if I understand correctly you are saying that Timeline and HX stomp have a similarly powered chip but the TIMELINE ( any Strymon product I suppose) is devoting ALL of the processing power to what would be a single block on the HX, where the HX is sharing it across as many as 8 simultaneous algos? Of course that would explain why no single delay or reverb is quite as juicy as my strymon and source audio stuff. Makes sense this is shy I have a Fender Tonemaster amp - 4 processors dedicated to a single amp emulation......

Hi I am new to HX Stomp XL, I am hoping to get it to be a fly rig that will replace a large board of individual pedals for fly dates. I figured out snap shot mode and for some of the songs I play this will work out great. For other tunes stomp mode is better for me. I figured out the compromise which is to have 4 buttons set to stomp mode and have the up down bottons set to scroll through snap shots . BUT WHAT I REALLY WANT TO DO is to store that behavior by preset rather than globally. So for example if I am on preset 1, I am in in straight up stomp mode where 6 footswitches can be assigned to toggle effects on and off, but then in preset 2 I am in stomp / snap shot hybrid mode where the up/ down buttons are snapshot selectors and the other 4 middle bottons are assigned to toggle fx on and off. Is there a way to do this? Or is it only in a global setting?

Hi am relatively new to Helix ( I have the HX Stomp XL) I am trying to get it setup and running well to replace a big board for fly dates. I have gotten close but not quite there yet in terms of getting the HX to replicate the factory preset 12A VERBY in the strymon timeline, I have a couple of tweaked versions of this in my timeline that I use alot. Any tips on getting this out of a block or 2 in the HX ?

Hi am relatively new to Helix ( I have the HX Stomp XL) I am trying to get it setup and running well to replace a big board for fly dates. One problem I am having is that most ( not all of the time) when I change presets between songs when practicing ( I have not yet gigged with it) Is that it produces a loud thump/ chunk/ popping sound when changing presets - similar (but not quite as bad as) to pulling a cable in and out of a guitar with out muting first. What do I need to do to ensure that this "changing preset noise" does not get to the amp / mixer on a gig. Thanks
