I think it’s also noteworthy that Line 6 was acquired by Yamaha some years ago and the Line 6 brand is now housed under Yamaha Guitar Group. Since acquisition YGG has focused Line 6 brand development on its multiFX guitar processors, which complements rather than competes with existing Yamaha products. Competing lines such as StageScape and StageSource were halted in their tracks. I haven’t seen anything new in Line 6 wireless mics since then either. Variax development has also been invisible even though Variax Standard was based on a Yamaha guitar build. I wouldn’t be surprised if the future sees some Line 6 technology incorporated into some Yamaha products. Perhaps some of this has already happened in Yamaha digital mixers and speakers. It could happen with guitars; we might someday see the next generation of Variax technology in a Yamaha guitar.

If you are sure you have followed the instructions exactly and it’s still not working I suggest you open a support ticket. Follow the Support tab at the top of this page, then choose Contact Support.

Since the v1.4 installation was successful it sounds to me like a different USB cable and port solved the issue. I would try updating to v2.0 again. There’s no reason to think v2.0 installation will fail after v1.4 succeeded.

You can do it in one jump, although updating from that far back might involve a second update that you will be notified about. My only, and strong, advice is to follow the update instructions carefully and exactly. Just as a precaution use your current version of HX Edit to create a full backup. Then begin the update by downloading and installing the HX Edit v3.6 package. Then run HX Edit and follow the instructions.

That should be no problem. Make sure you use Global Settings -> Ins/Outs to set the main output level to Instrument, not Line. This matches what your Reverb pedal will be expecting. Also make sure the levels match between your Reverb pedal output and your speaker input(s).

If the $$ doesn’t matter I would get the Stomp. Just be sure that you won’t be disappointed heaving only 3 footswitches.

Highly subjective but for me definitely yes. As for the rest of your questions - experiment and decide for yourself. Let us know what you think.

Try a different USB cable.

Well, there’s your answer. Your HX FX has two Send outputs. The Stomp XL has only one. I suppose you could mess around with external splitters or adapters that would take the one stereo output and feed two signals to external equipment and route them back to the different Returns, but each signal would be one half of the stereo signal, L or R. And you couldn’t place the two Send signals at different points in your HX Stomp preset. Sounds unlikely that you’ll get the same results as your HX FX.

Does the HX Stomp XL have 2 FX Loop circuits?

Does it feel $125 (50%) better?

I don’t think you need to ‘sign the rights over’. I believe your license allows you to run the program on multiple computers. So you could download and install Helix Native on his computer and log in to your Line 6 account. Then run Helix Native in his DAW. It will probably ask you to authorize his computer and then it should operate normally. It’s possible that you are already at the maximum number of authorized computers. If so try to deauthorize one in your account. You might need to contact Line 6 Support to get their help in doing this.

The HX One offers ONE FX at a time. So no, you can’t simultaneously have some sort of EQ (crossover), chorus, and compressor active.

From the manual….. ”AMP OUT This unbalanced output is meant to send directly to the front of your guitar amp. By default, it reflects the same output as the MAIN outputs (except in mono), but it can be globally switched to be tapped off directly before the Cab/ IR block. This way, you can send a cab-emulated signal to your mixer (or FRFR speaker) while simultaneously sending a non-cab-emulated signal to your guitar amp.” Lots of other goodies in the manual, too…..

A factory reset will restore the factory presets. Use POD Go Edit to create a system backup, then turnoff the POD Go. Perform a factory reset by holding down switches C and D while powering up. Then use POD Bo Edit again to restore the backup file. During restoration de-select the Factory folder so that it will not be restored.

Friend? Maybe you can return it and get your money back?

By any chance do you have the Path B input set to Mic? That will activate/sensitize the pins in the XLR Mic input. Perhaps they are picking up some sort of signal and accepting it as input?

Check the Playback level setting in the Looper block. I believe the default is less than 100% based on the notion that you likely want the solo level to be louder than the looped backing track.

That’s not uncommon with any audio gear. General rule is that you turn off the speakers before any other equipment. Do the reverse when powering up systems; turn the speakers on last.

Will that allow the signal to be processed by the external pedal in the FX Loop as desired? Or would this apply only if the POD Go output is connected to the external pedal input?
