AnalogDigitalDan Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi everybody! I've been using the HX Stomp for a couple of weeks now. Really impressive device! Yesterday, I used it to jam to some backing tracks generated by band in a box. For this purpose, I connected my guitar directly to the Input of the HX Stomp, connected the HX Stomp via USB to my PC and connected the ouput of the HX Stomp to an aux input of a powered speaker. Pretty straightfoward. However, I found that the volume of the signal coming from the PC was much much louder than the volume of the guitar modelling. Basically, I had to turn down the PC volume as much as possible (in Windows) and had to turn up the guitar modelling volume (in Helix) quite significantly, to be able to hear my guitar over the backing track. Is this how it is supposed to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Yes, that’s to be expected. The backing tracks are probably normalized, and maybe mastered, so they’ll be a lot louder than the processed guitar signal coming from the Stomp.

ricksteruk Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Another option to get the balance right is to go to: Global Settings > Ins/Outs and use Knob 6 to reduce the USB In 1/2 Trim Try reducing it to about -20 to -30dB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
