Here´s the preset btw, in case someone is interested. HX STOMP - GENOME - HX STOMP.hlx

I've run some latency tests with Smaart v9 and here are the results. HX Stomp, guitar input, headphone output: 1.52 ms. Distortion pedal block and A + C block add less than 1 ms of latency. HX Stomp, guitar input, Main output: Same, 1.52 ms. HX Stomp + MacBook m1 (Cubase + GENOME, 32 samples buffer): Guitar input, preprocessing in HX Stomp Path A, usb processing in genome, Main output 9.38 ms. HX Stomp + MacBook m1 + HX Stomp (32 samples buffer):Guitar input, preprocessing in HX Stomp Path A, usb processing in genome, post-processing in hx stomp, send output: 10.90 ms. Not too bad. Enough playability to experimet with the integration of both systems and get the best of both worlds. Cheers.

I've managed to integrate Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) into the HX Stomp signal chain as follows: Signal chain: Guitar → HX Stomp: Preamp, EQ, compression, and distortion processing. (path A) HX Stomp → Computer/iPad → DAW (Cubase): I reduce the signal level by 48 dB in the HX Stomp, then boost the input gain by 48 dB in Cubase (the maximum allowed). This prevents the direct HX Stomp signal from being audible. NAM processing: I process the signal using Tone3000 in Cubase. Return to HX Stomp: I route the processed signal from Cubase to the HX Stomp, and output through main output jacks. Connect via two TS cables the main outputs to the Return inputs (Path B). Final processing: Path B handles any additional effects, such as delays, reverbs, etc. The main drawback: The HX Stomp's physical output is now the Send output rather than the Main Out. This means you can no longer use the HX Stomp's headphone output for monitoring. You would need a mixing desk in between to monitor the signal, since the Send outputs aren't designed for headphones and are unbalanced, as you all know. Regarding latency: The latency is low enough to make playing possible, but you'll need to try it yourself. Whether it's acceptable depends on how sensitive you are to latency. Personally, I don't like it, but it's still playable. This setup is only necessary if you want to process the NAM signal further through the HX Stomp. Otherwise, you can post process the signal directly through a mixing desk or use another routing method.

Cheers mate, thanks for replying. I was on the fence between hx stomp and headrush flex prime, but then i read about 5 or 6 ms of latency from the headrush, and i hate latency. But given the fact that i get 7 to 10ms or more with this hx/ipad setup, the 6 ms don't bother me as much. i'm still in trial time with the hx so i'm going to see if i can get some good tones from it and then see if i keep it, because one thing is for certain: it's size is very convinient. Also this end of life thing's got me pissed. It wouldn't be the first time i got an EOL device and right away the new version of it came out with better features. We'll see. Cheers.

Hi. I’ve just bought an HX Stomp and I’d really like to be able to integrate external amp/capture plugins such as Tone3000 and NAM captures running on an iPad or MacBook into the HX Stomp signal chain. So far, the most I’ve managed to do is send the processed signal to the iPad, prevent the clean signal from being heard by adjusting the gain, and then bring the processed signal back into the HX Stomp, which is not ideal, but just a work-around, but I’m not able to process that returned signal with any other HX effects. well, something is something i guess. Would it be technically possible to implement a more flexible bidirectional USB routing or digital insert in a future firmware update, so that the signal could be sent to a plugin, returned digitally to the Stomp, and then continue through the HX effects chain? This would make the HX Stomp much more powerful for integrating Tone3000, NAM and other external processing. I really like the unit and think it’s a great product. Do you have any plans to implement something like this in a future firmware update? Cheers
