DoxBass Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hello, I have a couple of problems with a brand new hx stomp. 2.71 firmware with an active/passive bass. I have two problems : 1. Headphone output is generally too low, even with the volume at max. I'm using 32ohm phone, there is optimization for another impedance? 2. The bass sound is distorted even if I have an empty chain or analog bypass!! There is a lot of distortion in mid and low frequencies content even with passive or active basses (connected to the main L input). Can you help me? Best regards, Bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjalt Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I don't think your headphone involved.. i'm using à 250ohm on my Helix Floor and I have no problem... It seems that the stomp doesn't have any Aux IN Did you try to reduce your input value on the global settings page? -> choose "line" (instead of "inst") with powerfull active basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoxBass Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hello enjalt. Eh, 250ohm is high a lot (respect my 32), maybe the headphones out need headphones at higher impedance. I've tried Ins+Outs setting to both inst/line: with 'line' option there is more volume but the distortion is the same as 'inst'. Seems there is clip steadily...there is a way to verify that? Many thanks, bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjalt Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I Don’t think so for the headphone output, cause i use some IEM sometimes (20ohm) And It Works too (i have to push higher the knob with the 250ohm headphone...normal) Did you try on the global settings to put on « guitar in pad » (for the distorsion problem)? I play Bass too on my Helix... a question that may seem stupid but if it's an active bass, have you check the batteries. It can explain the distorsion and low volume 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoxBass Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 There is no guitar in pad option. I have a pedalboard aside the hx stomp and all works well... Issue is not the bass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjalt Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Ok... I don't know then.... sorry Did you check the manual (page 40 and 41)? https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a4010cb85bb66b18111e4/application/pdf/HX Stomp Manual - French .pdf it contains tips on how to adjust the inputs / outputs according to what you plug in as a type of instrument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
