Three chains for HX FX

[bulldog2280]

I'm curious if the HXFX is limited to 2 chains due to unit read out limitations. If that is the case, I wish line 6 would provide the functionality (even if then the chain couldn't be adjusted from the unit, but only from the desktop).

 

I run a stereo out plus a bass channel (Local H style) and it is unfortunate that I am limited to only stereo effects instead of a modified wet/dry, which is what I would prefer. 

 

Perhaps, line 6 could provide a fork of the firmware with the understanding that other functionality may be lost.

 

I have never once adjusted the chain from the unit itself, not do I plan to, so an extra chain at the expense of on the fly chain adjustment would be a godsend for me.

 

I have the blocks and the ins/outs for it, but alas. I do understand that my set up is weird, but, like then you could run the whole band through the unit.

 

Pretty please?

That said, I'm not understanding your setup based on what you are saying....

In what way are you forced to use stereo effects? Wet Dry is certainly possible if you utilize a SEND (dry out) wherever you want in the path.

Please clarify the "guitar path" you would like... maybe there are already options to free up path B for the bass only.

Ok, thank you. I was unable to find that from the website. I will post there instead.

Thanks.

I have a bass pickup under the low e&a strings and to a separate out. One chain is dedicated to this out. The other chain for the guitar signal. Since I cannot separate the guitar channel further I cannot run a wet/dry.

1 guitar with two outs running to three amps.

Thanks for the info.... this is how I would approach it. 

 

PATH A: Guitar

The normal Guitar output > Input L > Effects in Path A > Send 1 to Amp (Dry out) > wet effects in HX effects > Output L (Wet Out)

 

PATH B: Bass

The Guitars bass output > Input R > Effects in Path B for Bass > Output R (to bass amp). 

• Make sure your input split is set so INPUT L & R are routed only to their paths (A & B respectively)
• Make sure your Output Merge is set so PATH A & B are routed only to their outputs (L&R respectively). 

 

There are certainly limits to this type of setup... and some additional steps may need to be done to fully suit your needs.

Is the send active without a send block?

No, a send requires the use of a block.
