OK! Here we go again. Forget the SEND, and instead of connecting path B back to Path A drag it down to create another output that goes out on the SEND sockets. Of course you don’t want 2 amp/cab blocks in this preset. See the HX Stomp 3.8 Owner’s Manual > Page 18 > Setting Path B’s Output for details of this. https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afdda673cccdb61c9c/application/pdf/HX Stomp 3.80 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense.

Correct! The HX Stomp Path A and Path B are stereo. You can feed any stereo effect you like into the front L/R inputs of the HX Stomp and it will travel along Path A and will appear at the L/R out of the Stomp in the identical state, UNLESS you have that stereo input signal pass through a block that is set to mono, eg: an amp block. After that everything is mono UNLESS the signal then passes through a stereo block, eg: a ping pong delay (which can only be stereo). Although, any other effect before the amp will exit the amp in mono and signal will bounce from left to right after the stereo delay block. Ha, ha, ha - yeah double the expense for something that still cannot work how you think it should. It appears that the only reason you are using the HX Stomp is as an amp sim. If that’s the case, this will never work because amps are mono. Throughout this discourse, you never mentioned what hardware amp you are using? Feeding all your external pedals into your amp must have always been in mono, so now I wonder about this interest in stereo. Have you tried this: - Guitar > HX Stomp IN > Minotaur > Tone Sovereign > US Princess+Cab > Ping Pong Delay > Dynamic Hall Reverb > HX Stomp Out L/R > Stereo Powered Monitors HX Stomp Phones Out. Result - glorious stereo from a HX Stomp.

Hi, Well as an amp model is a mono block that is normal, but you didn’t indicate any other blocks that might be stereo and post amp block. For instance, you listed your signal chain is TUNER - TUMNUS - KING OF TONE - TIMELINE- BIGSKY - HX STOMP. Are you using stereo from the Strymon units to feed the HX Stomp? If you are, then they will already be collapsed to mono as soon as the hit the amp block? It sort of defeats the object. Generally most users would have time based effects after the amp section, in order to take advantage of the stereo effects. I can understand wanting to use “the real thing” with your pedals, but the HX Stomp has a tuner onboard, along with a stack of overdrive pedals, including a KOT model, and a whole bunch of stereo delays and reverbs. If you are only using the Stomp for the amp model then you will always end up with a mono output. From what I can derive from your current information is that you say - “Run a stereo signal out of my HX Stomp with an amp model to the FOH, and a mono signal to my amp on stage without modeling”. You cannot be running a “stereo” signal out of your Stomp, because as you’re already aware, any stereo signal hitting the front of the amp block is automatically collapsed to mono, therefore your output is dual mono. Also, “Currently I have the SEND L/R going to the FOH but its a mono signal, because as soon as I put a amp model…” Again, as you know, this is due to tapping the signal chain after the amp. It’s physics, you cannot change that. You mention paths A and B it would help by posting a copy of the HX Stomp preset you are using for folks to check out. It may make more sense to be able to see the settings. Sadly, it won’t be me, as I cannot get access to the studio right now - currently under 10 inches of fresh snow. Grrrr! EDIT: Hmm… I have just re-read the OP. Judging by the info supplied you will never get a stereo result. Anything hitting an amp/cab block will be flattened to mono, plus anything going to your stage amp will become mono once it hits the jack socket in, unless of course you have a stereo amp, which I seriously doubt.

Hi, I found this in less than 2 minutes - there is even a preset that can play around with and modify to your own ends. Basically, you need a SEND block, which will be the feed to your amp, before the amp block then - that goes to the final output to the FOH. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Ye gods - this is like pulling teeth. You wanted CONFIRMATION of the information, which I had previously supplied to you, and that was a direct cut and paste from the Line 6 Knowledge base - it states:- From the HX EFFECTS FAQ page: Does HX Effects have an audio interface? No. It's designed for your pedalboard. It will send and receive MIDI data over USB, however. So, the CONFIRMATION from an official source was not a GOOD thing? This is borderline insanity. It’s starting to travel down the same sort of wormhole you started back in October when you said you had bought a new HX Effects and failed to understand how stereo inputs work. That was fun - not! I fail to see how my response, and a similar one from @codamedia, could be confusing. Both of us explained that in order record any audio from your HXFX into a DAW, you need to use a dedicated stereo audio interface to capture any sound created in your HXFX, up to and including the onboard synth pads. In fact I did actually mention the 3 note and 4 OSC generators. Is that too confusing? I also pointed out that, as the HXFX is NOT an audio interface, in order to use it with a DAW it has to be treated like any other outboard multi-fx unit. Please, research how to connect external audio effect processors to you particular DAW. Ah, yes - I’m one of those people who use a Helix as an audio interface, and have used it daily like that since 2015. I must be afflicted with actually knowing what I’m doing with this stuff. I have come to the conclusion this an exercise in total futility.

Hi, again. Yesterday, you contacted me by a PM when I thought that I had clarified the fact that the HX Effects doesn’t work as an audio interface and eventually pointed you to this answer:- From the HX EFFECTS FAQ page: Does HX Effects have an audio interface? No. It's designed for your pedalboard. It will send and receive MIDI data over USB, however. So, to be quite totally clear- you are wrong to think that your HXFX will work as an audio interface. That’s a fact! Asking the same question over and over will not provide a different result! As for using the HXFX in conjunction with a DAW, you should treat it exactly as you would any other outboard multi-fx processor. If you are using a hardware synth, connect it to your Effects and take the L/R outputs from there to the inputs of a dedicated audio interface. This would be the same technique if you wanted to record some of the self generated (eg 3 note or 4 OSC generator) synth noises directly from your HXFX into your DAW. If you want to play a “soft synth” through your HXFX, then you will need to route the dry audio from the synth out of your Interface, into the FX then back into a stereo channel in your DAW, in a similar fashion to using an FX Loop on an amp. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, To be able to see and use the new models in the latest firmware via HX Edit then your version number of HX Edit should match the version number of the Firmware that you have installed. Having said that, the current Firmware is 3.80 and due to some issues on Apple Silicon computers the Editor software has been patched and is now V3.82. Download and install the latest HX Edit and you should be able to use the new amps. There is a Sticky Thread which explains this on the first page of this forum. Also a Factory Reset is required after a firmware update. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi. Hmm… that’s not quite correct. If you care to check the HX One Owner’s Manual you will find on the Contents List for page 11 there is a section headed - Saving/Naming a Preset. On page 11 there are 5 bullet points that take you through the procedure of naming and saving a preset. Click the link below. https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a3fae3a65303a4bdd590/application/pdf/HX One Owner's Manual - English .pdf Here’s a video of a guy showing how to rename a preset on the HX One. Hope this helps/makes sense. Happy New Year

Hmm… maybe a little late with the contribution - this thread started life way back in 2016, with the last comment before yours being posted in 2018. You never know though, someone, somewhere, may still be trying to figure this stuff out, this far down the road. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, You didn’t mention what audio interface you are using to get your guitar signal in and out of Cubase, but this info is from the Helix Native 3.80 Pilot’s Guide page 10. NOTE: When utilizing your DAW track’s “Input Monitoring” feature, you’ll want to be sure to disable any “Direct Monitoring” signal on your audio interface (many interfaces offer an optional function that routes your input signal directly to its outputs, without going through the DAW software). This way you’ll hear only the input signal fed through the Helix Native plugin. See your audio interface’s documentation for details. It maybe worth looking at the guide available here: https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afef2673cd2e8a197b/application/pdf/Helix Native Pilot's Guide 3.80 - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, I noted that this is your first post after recently acquiring your HX Stomp XL, so I am going to save a lot of typing by pointing you to this video, which is the complete beginners guide to Snapshots on the XL. You also might like to spend some time going through the HX Stomp XL 3.80 Owner's Manual, which is full of really helpful information (even for folk who don't like manuals). https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afe12673ccd29b29f5/application/pdf/HX Stomp XL 3.80 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Well, it was a very old post, but there was another link provided by @roscoe5 which takes you to this freebie. https://www.celestionplus.com/free-download/ Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, again, A couple of thing here would seem to indicate this is more likely a user error issue rather than defective hardware. For example, say that a Factory Reset restores the Tap function, and in your second post you also mention the RH foot switch functions as expected. plus you said that it works perfectly until you load your presets. I’m a Helix floor user and not a HX One owner, but in here we have a saying along the lines of when weird stuff starts to happen, perform a factory reset, and if that doesn’t fix it, do a clean install of the latest firmware. Those two options will generally blow out any bugs. A reset seems to return your HX to a functioning device, until you load your presets. I’m not familiar with all the functions and global settings in the HX One, but it must be a setting within your presets that is creating the issue. I’m really not quite sure what is happening but I did find this video about a misunderstanding of how the Tap and Flux feature works, as it is not really clearly explained in the manual - take a look to see if it makes any sense to you and the issue you are experiencing. If you feel you have a defective unit, it is covered by warranty for 12 months from the purchase date. This means you could swap it for a brand new box. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, As noted in the post above, from @jiml6, please see the HX One Owner's Manual - available to download here: https://line6.com/data/6/0a002026003567648f05c4097/application/pdf/HX One Owner's Manual - English .pdf Then in the section named Settings View on page >28< in the Settings View Options it mentions that Page 4 - Knob3 is where you can control the On/Off option for the TAP flash function. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, No problem. Thinking that HX Edit was a "one for all" HX editing solution, is just one of those things that could easily have confused many of us regulars. I have to admit that I also initially thought that HX Edit would be needed, but I had only recently had a quick glance at the manual, while looking up something else, and spotted that the HX One had its own librarian/editor. At least advising a new user to RTM is aways a good idea, even if they think they don't really need to check it out. Regards

Hi, The best approach is to grab a pdf copy of the HX One Owner’s Manual here: https://line6.com/data/6/0a002026003567648f05c4097/application/pdf/HX One Owner's Manual - English .pdf on page 4 there is a paragraph entitled “Manage, Backup, & Restore HX One”. You will also need the “HX One Librarian app”, which you can find here: https://line6.com/software/ Under the “Choose Software” drop down, select “HX One Librarian”, then from “Choose OS” select the operating system your computer uses. Click the “Go” button, on the next page you can download the required software to help you manage your presets over USB. Have fun! Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, For equalising input levels between different instruments you might want to take a look at this - not cheap, but very reliable. https://www.lehle.com/lehle-3at1-sgos And here is an explanation @ 1:20 Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi Jeff, Welcome to Helix, but even if there was a file chopper that you could process your library of POD HD500X presets through, you probably wouldn’t even get close with the resulting sounds. The Helix and it’s audio engine are a completely different animal. I fell into the trap of trying to copy some of my old HD 500 tones, by loading them into the POD HD Editor and copying the settings across into HX Edit - an exercise in utter futility. Life’s too short for that sort of stuff. I think you should read this from way back in 2015. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, There is absolutely no reason why export FACTORY 2 as a bundle is not mentioned, other than, possibly because the majority of the Release Notes are a "cut 'n' paste" job from earlier versions. That text block is the same as the one on the notes for Firmware version 3.50. I guess they must realise that if you're clever enough export FACTORY 1 presets as a bundle, then you will surely be smart enough to be able do the same for whatever other setlist you wish to save. It might be useful to read through the HX Edit Pilot’s Guide 3.80 > pages 27-29 - Creating & Restoring Complete Device Backups, and Extracting Files from a Backup. You can access the guide by clicking on the Question Mark icon in the lower left corner of the HX Edit GUI window, from where you can download a pdf of the information. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, New to Helix snapshots - check this:- Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Well, it seems that regular contributor @SaschaFranck knows about it, and is still not happy with the results of the update. Check the spelling on the Soldano model. See here: - https://thegearforum.com/threads/helix-3-82-release-notes-anyone-have-them.7178/ Hope this helps/makes sense (probably not!)

Hi, First off, just so you know, I’m a Mac user and ditched ProTools many, many years back. Having said that, when seeking assistance from Forum users it's a really good idea to supply as much information as possible regarding the computer and operating system version and the version of HX Native. Anyhow, a couple of things spring to mind. One - IIRC, there is the option to "Override High DPI Scaling" somewhere in the PT preferences. You could try turning that off or, secondly, go to you computer display settings and check that it is not set to something higher than 100%. Try different screen size options. That’s about all I have to suggest on this one. Maybe someone else can chime in with an idea. Hope this helps/makes sense.

I am sure that the editor cannot be downloaded and will not work on IOS system. As noted above - 10 years down the road - don’t hold your breath. This idea has been done to death, both in these pages, and over on TGP, but you also have to remember that the communication between HX Edit and the device runs over USB2. Forget BlueTooth and Wireless - those are not built into the HX hardware. IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, again, As you seem determined to build some sort of MIDI control unit, then go ahead and do it, but be aware of the limitations of MIDI implementation on HX Stomp hardware. There is simple Preset and Snapshot Recall, Block Bypass, Parameter Control, Tempo Sync via MIDI, plus MIDI CC. There is no facility to use SysEx. You can find a full list of MIDI Controls here: https://helixhelp.com/tips-and-guides/universal/midi Your HX Stomp is a small self contained controller, to which many users are known to have added external MIDI controller boxes, such as the Morningstar MC6 (that have external foot switches rather than knobs), but the fact remains there is no way to change/swap out (via MIDI) any FX, Amps, Cabs, etc., within a signal path. You can do lots of this stuff using Snapshots, but the Amp or Effect you wish to change must already be in the loaded signal path. You might want to have a read through the HX Stomp 3.80 Owner’s Manual for more information on what is, and isn’t, feasible with your device. If not, plug in your soldering station and let us all know when you’ve cracked it. https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afdda673cccdb61c9c/application/pdf/HX Stomp 3.80 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense. Good luck.

Hi, You may be over thinking this. Or, even looking down the wrong end of the telescope. What I would recommend you should do is create a preset with a basic amp and cab including any of the fx you wish to use to work with. Name and save the preset into a spare slot. Now duplicate that preset into several consecutive slots. Go back and change the amp/cab model to whatever you require in each of the duplicate presets and name them to suit - eg: Fender, Vox, Marshall, JC120, Matchless, etc. Next set your HX Stomp into Preset mode and use FS1 & FS2 to scroll up and down between your customised presets to audition the same effects, but using different amp cab setups. No MIDI needed. Also note that different amps can respond very differently to the same effects, especially overdrive and distortion blocks, which is one of the main reasons there are so many variations available. It seems you are trying to find a solution to a non existent problem. Your HX Stomp already is a “virtual amp switcher”. Hope this helps /makes sense.
