...and if yes...where can i download them...?

thanks

redundant PC...that's the words...thanks a lot!! ;-)

exactly...is this for shure...? many units reload it then...this would stop the spillover or trails, isn't it...?

thanks

hi,

is it possible to tell the hx stomp to ignore an incoming midi PC command, if it's the same as the current one...? (to avoid losing spillover trails...)

thanks

has anybody had the same problem...? after powering up, the hx effects shows everything right...then, when i switch the first preset button, the light stops shining and the unit crashes...??? no sound can be heard....no switch does work...

support told me to update the unit to version 3.50 via HX Edit 3.51, then perform a factory reset on the HX Effects, turn on HX Effects, wait for "Will reset Globals and restore stock Presets..." ...etc.

actually those problems came after 3.5....but i did all that, everything seemed to work fine and now it crashed again...that's a real problem for me because i use the hx fx for switching my amp channels and other midi fx as well...(4CM)...now when that happens live i'm in real trouble...

hi,

is it possible on the LT to have the rear expression 2 jack controll my amps channels (via TRS cable) and have the onboard pedal control the wah (pedal1) and volume (pedal2)...?

i try to achieve this...but as soon as i plug the TRS cable into the rear expr.2 jack, the onboard expression pedal won`t change between pedal1 and 2 via the toe switch....isn't that possible...?

thanks!

It's either a preset change, or a snapshot. You can't change preset and snapshot within a preset, as it doesn't make sense, since the snapshot is a "photo" of a specific setup which is happening within the same preset where such snapshot is being used, while a preset change command is jumping into a different preset.

 

You can assign a command to a switch to act as a preset call, then you'd need the same switch in that other preset to go back to the previous one. You can also just assign a "next preset" function to a switch, and "previous preset" to the other, so you can virtually move back and forth between a group of 2 or more contiguous presets.

 

Midi data; depends what you need to do. If it's a command that you need to send in any moment, you need a footswitch*command right there, if it's an instant command (midi command at preset load), you don't need to use any switch. Again, it's all in the manual. :)

As I said multiple times, you can do all gain changes you need, within a SINGLE preset (or two), just using snapshots without jumping back and forth between multiple presets. That's especially valid for things like amp setup and FX changes for different song parts.

 

You seems a bit confused about basic features, so I'd just read the manual and doing my own tests to understand basic principles. ;)

i'm not really confused...don't know why you say such things...and it's also not right, that this is everything in the manual...the only thing is, i wanted to have six different snapshots on one preset, but there are only four...so i wanted to know whether i could achieve it to assign a switch to another preset and also assign special snapshots of this preset....don't know why this should be a strange wish...and for me that makes sense...

what really doesn't make sense is that line6 gives us the possibility in pedal mode through command center to assign all six switches to snapshots, but the unit can only do 4...it would definitey make sense to have 6 snapshots here...

question: can i achieve this?

i'd like to recall preset#1 in preset mode, then change to pedal mode for the six switch option.

there i'd like to program via command center that switch#1 recalls snapshot#1 with green colour led and the name "clean" and sends midi pc and cc data to external units....

switch#2 should always recall snapshot#2 (preset#1) in yellow colour sayin "clean+", plus midi data...

switch#3 to recall snapshot#3 in light orange "crunch"...

switch#4...orange "crunch+"...

...now switch#5 needs to switch to preset#2 and snapshot#1, since i only have 4 snapshots, saying "lead" in purple...

and switch #6 to preset#2/snapshot#2, etc...

is that possible...?

can i tell switch#1 to recall preset#1/snapshot#3, and the switch#2 to recall preset#2/snapshot#1...or so...?

thanks a lot!

question:

i'm using the pedal mode und in command center program everyone of the six switches to switch presets...i've copied the same commands to all six of the presets...can't i customize the colours that way...???

thanks,

rudi

You keep overthinking that global bypass. I would not use it for your setup, at all. You just setup a single snapshot that when active does turn ALL blocks in the preset in Bypass, so it's acting just like a buffered bypass, with the advantage that the entire device will stay active; display is active, commands are active, snapshots are active etc...

 

If you use ALL BYPASS, the unit would be just an expensive and useless doorstop on your pedalboard.

 

HX FX has max 4 snapshots, HX Stomp has 3. You have 7 snapshot that you can use to setup all your presets variations within the same preset (so no DSP flush and no signal drops).

thank you...i've had another idea last night...what if i use the stomp for pre fx and the hx fx in my amps fx loop...i could still use the hx fx as a midi controler and the post fx are always on ...everyone of the six switches could either send the midi message to analog bypass the pre fx or have it turned on...right....? would that be my solution...?

is it correct, that i could send the midi CC#70 and a value of 0-63 to the hx stomp to put the unit in analog bypass and then, with another preset or snapshot send cc#70 with a value of 64-127 to have the unit on...?

thanks a lot!

best,

rudi

I would just use a snapshot to turn all blocks in bypass. If you are worried about the ADA conversion and latency, then just grab a cheap loop switch and put the HX in its send/return (like the One Control Tri Loop) . That's gonna be 100% true bypass. This way, even with HX FX bypassed, you can still use it as a command center. You still have 3 snapshots available on the HX FX, and other 3 on the Stomp. Again, imho that's enough to control all your preset stages. If you then implement MIDI between the two HX devices, you can use commands to interlink everything.

 

I do suggest to download the manuals, and learn the true potential of these things. ;)

thanks...so on the hx fx in snapshot mode, can the bypass state be programmed individually to snapshots...so i could use switch#1 to activate bypass, and switch#2 to turn the unit on again and have the wah on the same time...? would i then have the problem, that in bypass mode, the displays aren't on, right?

i also don't really know what you mean, when you say ..You still have 3 snapshots available on the HX FX, and other 3 on the Stomp...why three left..???

thanks!

p.s.: i actually read the manual many times...but concerning bypass mode there's not much in there...;-(

Yes, ALL BYPASS uses the CC#70. Analog or DSP bypass is then being set to Globals Settings

 

Still I honestly believe you are overengineering the concept for what I understand are your needs, and completely missing the snapshot feature which would probably reduce at minimum the tap dancing. :)

 

o/

thank you...ok, but my goal is pretty simple...i want to use my amp without any digital pedals in front most of the time...and only when i want to use some wah or maybe some extreme fuzz sound or so, i`d like to be able to activate this pre-amp path via one switch...as well as i want to have 6 preset switches (clean, clean+, crunch, ...) 

do i oversee some possibility here...??? ;-)

No, it doesn't exist.

 

Analog Bypass, as well as DSP Bypass, will bypass everything, so IN/OUT, SEND/RETURN.

 

Also, Global Bypass in all HX Device, is always "listening" for hardware inputs, so it will auto lift as soon as you press something.

 

If I may suggest, I would just use an external controller (for example a cheap Live Logic controller with 6 footswitches), plugged into HX FX, which is also sending/thru to HX Stomp. Then you can use such controller to just recall the six snapshot status, for clean, clean+, crunch, crunch+, lead, lead+, acting on both HX devices, via MIDI CCs. Then keep the two unit to do stomp mode, preset up/down etc.

thank you! you mean the blackstar live logic controller...? so then i think i could prefer a second hx stomp, since it is smaller...right? so i could be able to send a midid message to do an analog bypass on (pre fx) unit one and select some preset on unit two...via one switch on the midi controller i could then activate some preset on unit one...right? so what i mean is, i can send a midi message for switching the analog bypass on and off, right?

thanks!!!

thank you! may i ask you another question concerning the hx stomp:  do you maybe know...is it possible to send a midi command to the stomp wich would activate analog bypass, but just for the "pre"-fx (from input to send out) , while the "post fx" (from return in to the output) are still on...?

Only HX Stomp has the external FS option.

 

The HX FX does use the EXP/Ext Amp ports to only plug expression pedals or to control Ext Amps channels.

 

You'd need another MIDI controller to do all the extra stuff. 

thanks,

question: could i be in analog bypass mode, have all set to bypass and at the same time use the six switches of the hx efects for only switching amp channels and sending midi data...?

thanks a lot!

hi,

question: is it possible to use an external up/down switch and use the internal up/down for switching presets...?

i`m running a tube amp and use my hx stomp for post fx only and am thinking about buying an additional hx effects for pre fx only... for 95% of the time, i don`t use any pre fx before my amp, so i`m happy, i can run the hx in analog bypass mode...

but since i`d like to have 6 preset switches accessable all the time (clean, clean+, crunch, crunch+, lead, lead+), i wonder if i could use the 6 hx effects switches for switching those 6 presets...i`d need to use an external up/down switch then of course...could i then lable those 6 displays for my needs as well?

could i then use the three hx stomp switches as instant access switches. only..?

any tips for that kind of setup...?

thanks

Any parameters assigned to any controller (not specifically the snapshots controller) can have their values recalled by snapshots. In the case of parameters tied to the EXP controllers, you just need to make sure you have the EXP Position parameter under Global Settings>EXP Pedals set to Per Snapshot. Then you just go into each snapshot and set the value to whatever you want it to be for that snapshot.

thank you...can also the return parameter of the fx loop block be assigned per snapshot...??? it doesn't do that for me...it seems like the fx loop settings are stored globaly...can that be...? thanks a lot!

i'm wondering how i could achieve this...first i want my onboard exp pedal to  globaly control the amount of wetness...i know how to do that...but now i also want to play in snapshot mode and have snapshot 1 f.e. switch to a wetness for a rhythm snapshot, and on #2 the same sound, but with a higher amount of wetness...

any hints for that...? i can't assign the same paramters to the exp pedal and the snapshots, right...? is there any other way to achieve this...?

thanks a lot

on my HX LT: when i'm in snapshot mode....can i use the lower A-D switches and the upper A+B to change snapshots and the other two (upper C+D) for switching parameters f.e. a rhythm and a lead gain....?

thanks a lot!

Note that while it sounds IMHO very convincingly like real amp feedback, maybe moreso than the freqout does, you do have to take your foot off the pedal when playing normally.  You can actually hold it down for several notes in a row and it'll build up the feedback effect while you play, which is cool, and then let go when starting to play other notes again cuz otherwise it will sort of just turn into a heavy octave kind of effect.

 

I'm really enjoying it and finding it very expressive to work with.  I updated the patch so volume pedal works now and there's a wah pedal also, although I haven't uploaded that one here yet.

 

hey donkelley...thanks for your great work...i haven't gotten to try it yet...i hope i can do it this weekend...thanks a lot!!!!! ;-)

The only way to make a fernandes sustainer...

(285) Digitech Freqout feedback creator, demo by Pete Thorn - YouTube

i was hoping the poly sustain could do sthg like the freqout...

hi,

question: can the poly sustain replace a fernandes sustainer...?...i know, i can hold a note....but can i just use it while playing, like i'd use a sustainer pickup...?

i play 4CM...i have the hx delays and reverbs mixed (via line mixer) to my original dry signal, so my mix controls are 100% wet... ..yes...i could use those return levels, but i don't, since i run the delay and reverb blocks in parallel and i do want one expression pedal to control the delay amount and the other to control the reverb amount ok...this is not really unusual, this is very, very normal!!

...so i need to use those volume blocks...understand?

...and no...i don't want to use a mix control for that, cause i don't want any dry signal here...my mix controls are 100% wet...

i run the stomp in 4cm and have an extra expression pedal for delay and one for reverb (in the amps fx loop) on all the time...so i want to control the inputs of those fx, not the outputs...at the moment i have to use two extra volume blocks in front of those fx...so i could save two blocks, if i had this one input level parameter in those fx...
