  1. I tried running the HX and AA3 using the 4CM as well but I was not able to get it sounding right. However, I've learned a couple of tricks since I first bought the HX so I may try it again. I have been running the HX to the AA3 using the effects loop to the AA3 and it works nicely! I also finally got things set up so using presets in the HX I send MIDI info to the AA3 so each time I press a preset on the HX the "amp sound" is changed in the AA3 automatically. (This way while at a gig, I can use the nice big display of the HX instead of the crappy small display of the AA3) In other words the HX Effects is the main HUB / Contoller for the my rig! So lets say I have a preset labled "Crucnhy Deluxe" in preset 1. When pressed it changes the AA3 to the Deluxe Amp sound I created, and now gives me all the effects I use for the preset on the HX as well.
  2. Gear head, you're the man !! That worked like a charm. Thanks so much for all the guidance and clarifying things for me. It does make me wonder why Line 6 does not even have a clue how to address what you've explained to me. And I'm suprised they offer such littel doumentation or videos on things as powerful as INSTANT COMMANDS and Snapshots etc. Oh well, at least mines working now, so cool. Out of curiority what are examples of other things the INSTANT COMMANDS could be used for ? What do you use it for ? Thanks again, really appreciate everything. Mark
  3. Thanks so much for talking me off the ledge ... so to speak ! LOL I plan to try this later today. Makes a bit more sense to me now, but I will see what happens later. I'm glad you mentioned that eahc Instant Command can be assigned per preset ! I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for all of the awesome pointers !! Mark
  4. I tried what you said but still nothing! Im sure its some stupidly simple thing if you know how to work with MIDI ! I chnaged what you said but nothing chnages or happens at all! I set all the MIDI IN stuff on the AA3 to Omni MIDI channel so it makes no difference which channel. I have ONE MIDI cable from the MIDI out of the HX to the MIDI IN of the AA3 (I assume this is right) What the hell else am I missing. I also accidentally deleted one of main presets !! Im so pissed I have to start all over again to get this thing working. I am clearly not getting how to use this thing and Im beyond frustrated ! And I happen to very technically savvy but guess not with LIne 6 stuff! I'm REALLY starting to hate the HX with a passion!!! Im so frustrated by the lack of good documenttation to resolve many seamingly simple issues!! I spent $600 and still after 2 months cannot get this to work as promised! As usual Line 6 has terrible documentation and they always say the same dumb thing. "Check the videos on our support page. Those are about as helpful as a tax audit! Ive even called LIne 6 several times and those idiots cant seem tp help me with this. They dont even know their own damn products Questions: Does the INSTANT COMMAND apply to ONLY the snapshot/preset or bank that is selected at a given time ? It seems to be that way ? How do you clear or delete a snapshot ? I CANNOT find anythign about how to delete a snapshot OTHER than clearing the block (I tried this by clearing a block thinking it would delete only the one snapshot, but realized this deleted my entire preset, so I LOST ALL of the work I already did. ! Such BS !!) PLEASE need help ASAP !!
  5. Hi Thx !! I’ll try that later tonight to see how it goes. That would be awesome if I can get this working ! thx.
  6. Let me start with, I got my HX Effects about 2 months ago. While I love many things about it, there are some frustrations I've had too. Especially trying to use the HX as a simple, MIDI control and effect system. When I was told about the HX it sure sounded like it could deliver on my basic needs of great effects, without built-in Amp Sims, CHECK, The ability to use the Atomic Amplifire ("AA3") Or other 3rd party Modelers as my Amp sounds, CHECK, and what I thought would act as the MIDI controller to have the AA3 change presets a.k.a different amp tone, after stepping on a preset switch on the HX. As an example if I press preset 1A, the effects on the HX are added, and via MIDI the AA3 changes to the specific amp tone. Instead of having to choose amp tones (presets) on the AA3 manually, like I do now! A pIan ! I realize it might make more sense to use the AA3 as the "front" control to change the amp tones first, which then via MIDI changes the HX to a certain preset or patch with specific effects. BUT, I was hoping I could set it up the other way. Meaning the HX would be the "front" a.k.a. main control to choose a preset or snapshot. So when choosing preset 1A on the HX, it might be labeled with a specific song, such as "PINK NUMB" (as in Comfortably Numb) which changes to that presets effects, and via MIDI changes the AA3 to a certain preset (amp tone/ sound). to match. I did find out if I use the AA3 at the "front", it can ONLY send preset 1 to preset 1 or preset 17 to preset 17 on the HX or other MIDI device. So you have to have BOTH of the preset locations on the HX and AA3 lined up with the correct amp tone and appropriate effects in the HX for this to work. Not a big problem, but certainly less than ideal in my mind. The other issue is I MUCH prefer to use the nice bright, big labels on the HX to see preset names. The AA3 has a very small display making it MUCH harder to read especially live. I also read something today on the Line 6 forum that MIDI changes can ONLY be sent on a particular foot switch in STOMP BOX mode ONLY. BUT, what I'm trying to do is have each preset or snapshot as a specific sounds or group of songs, be able to step on a preset, have it update the HX with effects in that preset and change the amp tone on the AA3. Let me also say, I get the basics of MIDI but I am far from an expert too. Anyone have any great ideas as to how to solve this. I am really disappointed that the HX is so far not able to deliver on the MIDI and routing capabilities I was hoping ! If you have any good ideas as to how to solve this I would surely appreciate it. Thanks.
