Thanks everyone for the info. My knowledge with headphones isnt very good..lol. But that link did help me out so really appreciate that. I tried a set of IEM's and yeah those arent for me, they just didnt fit well and I had kind of the same issue as the AKG I have. THe AKG have to me really harsh upper mids and highs that just feels ear piecing. I can eq them but they just didnt sound pleasant to me. I have a set Sennheiser's that were a bit pricey, cant remember the model but they are closed backs and I didnt care for that with guitar only. But today I went and got the beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO 250ohm and they are perfect without messing with EQ, no headphone amp needed into my MOTU interface. They sound really close to my Yamaha monitors and very comfortable to me. So thanks again for the help and the links, lovin them so far.

Setup: HX Stomp XL 4CM and Midi with Tonex into MOTU M4 interface. I also have a Mackie Big Knob in there also. Most times I just play out HX into my Yamaha monitors but I need something for late nights when the wife in sleeping. I currently have a set of 55ohm AKG 240 headphones but Ive always hated the sound for distorted guitars thru them. I know I can eq things for the headphones but looking for something better. Ive been looking at these: Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO or DT 990 Pro either in 80 ohm or 250. Not sure which ohm would be best. But also wondered about using something like SENNHEISER In- Ear Audio Monitor IE-100 Pro. Ive never used IEM before so have no idea what to expect or sound quality. Mostly for jamming either just guitar or with backing tracks. I do record from time to time also and use headphones alot to monitor the backing track easier while playing guitar. So any input of which would be best suited for this and not sound really harsh of the mids and highs like the AKG's I have. Id prefer a fairly flat eq sound thru them. Thanks.

THanks for all the info. I should have explained how I have it setup better. So I have the HX,Tonex,Ampero Control,Mission Engineering EXP( got a great deal on it) and 2 Ampero Dual CTRL switches. So the connections, I have the EXP into HX using TRS cable for the EXP and Switch function. Set for Exp things and the toe switch is functioning I use 4CM for Tonex into HX loop but also Midi OUT from HX to Tonex so that when I make a preset change on HX I cant also set FXLoop to change tone model on Tonex. I have the Ampero MIDI out into HX MIDI In only at the moment to control Snapshots now and most likely other stuff with bank switching. Then I have the 2 Ampero Dual CTRL's into the 2 EXP/CTRL jacks on the AMpero Midi. Set as Looper Functions. Already owned them so figured I'd use them. So far all this works except for the 2 problems I mention. One being I can not map any external MIDI device to trigger the HX Scroll Down switch. I can with all other HX switches but not that one(HX FS4 switch). I tried the Ampero,I also have a Nektar Pace MIDI and same. I even dug out the FCB1010 and same. The switch works on the HX fine. Now for the scroll up/dn midi commands I tried cc49(FS1) and cc52(FS4), cc49 works but no matter what cc52 will not. Two, The tonex Reverb Color getting triggered when using midi from Ampero. As of now Im not using any Tonex FX,just Tone Models. But who knows down the road plus I just got the HX so I dont even know at this point is something could be faulty. So I did try changing Tonex CH. to 2 but then the HX presets change doesnt change Tonex Tone Models which I do want to keep. I do understand the FS7 and FS8 being EXT devices, got that covered. I give this a go later and see how it goes. "If I read you correctly, you have a 2-button Momentary FS? Connect that to either the HXSXL or the Ampero with FS 7/8 configured to scroll <> the MODES, then use the Ampero Footswitches to emulate whichever HXSXL switches are required to do whatever. When I was testing all of this, I wound up just using Ampero FS1 to scroll the MODES one-way (HXSXL FS7 set to FS MODE>) and used Ampero FS2-4 to select the three options available in each MODE on my HXS. Since you'd need 4 switches for Snapshot Mode, using the 2-button switch for scrolling the MODES would work well for you and you could use the two switches to scroll the MODES bi-directionally." Thanks again.

Hmm I thought for HX to control Tonex pedal they both had to be on the same MIDI channel? Like I mention Im very basic knowledge with MIDI settings. Yes Im using the Ampero Control Midi footswitch with 4 switches. It also has 2 EXT jacks for expresion/footswitches. I can set the switches to Single,Momentart,Hold and I forgot what the other is. I tried all options but none worked for what I was trying. I'll try what you said and see if that takes care of it. Thanks.

First Im completely new to Line 6 products and when it comes to midi I can normally do basics. So I just got the HX Stomp XL,Tonex Pedal, and Ampero Control midi switch( the one that looks like the MVAVE Chocolate). I also use an Ampero dual footswitch into the Ampero midi jack. I have Tonex setup using 4CM and midi out from the HX to Tonex. So I have 2 problems I cant figure out after googling and youtube. 1. I wanted to use the dual footswitch thru the midi controller to setup a 1 button press for changing from bank,preset and snapshot scroll option just as if you push the up/down at same time on stomp. Im not sure if Im doing something in the midi programing on the controller or something not set in HX. I set the button presses in the app to cc# 49(up) and cc52(down??). When I press the switch it will only scroll whatever scroll option its on and not change the option from say bank to preset scroll. Now I can program each footswitch in midi trigger each individual switch but not scroll down. So any help or idea what Im missing here or is it even possible ? 2. every thing else works great except when I press on my midi controller to change snapshots( 4 buttons set as SS1-4) it triggers "Color -10) on my tonex. I found that its for reverb on tonex. I dont use any of those FX on Tonex so not a real issue but would like to correct it. Any ideas to keep this from happening? Thanks.
