h8hoos Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Brand new at this HX thing, but have owned many Line 6 products over the last 20 years. I've been sitting here for hours messing around, and keep coming back to something (hope it's not a problem). FS 2 will not do the "touch" thing. I am unable to assign it to control a parameter. I touch FS 1 and get a quick popup screen "Assign block to FS?" message with Cancel, Merge, and OK screens. Trying the same with FS 2 I get nothing, no ability to assign FS 2. Please advise. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I think you could work around it with the Edit application and get it assigned, but it sounds like a hardware problem. Might be good to open a service ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a defective FS1 that refused to "touch" on my new Stomp last year. I opened a ticket and it was then repaired on warranty. That said… 4 hours ago, spaceatl said: you could work around it with the Edit application and get it assigned Just last week I noticed that a bunch of the new v3.11 features don't work directly on the Stomp and require HX Edit. Example: Input, Split, Mixer or Output block parameters/bypass assigned to a footswitch cannot have a custom name or color unless edited in HX Edit, because on the Stomp display, there's no "Customize" option for them. Looks like a bug / UI oversight to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
personudo Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I ve got the same problem with fs2, did you get a solution? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
personudo Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 For those who want to know, they had to fix the hardware because there was a broken part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adagosto Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I have a problem with FS3. Same thing. Line 6 agreed to fix it, but I have not sent back yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron55 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 My Stomp XL randomly also does this. It's pretty inconsistent. But sometimes touch doesn't work n some of the footswitches at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes touch doesn't work n some of the footswitches at times. I have the same issue with my XL. Seems to be overheating because it takes about 30 minutes act up and usually only after using patches with high DSP usage. Switches 2, 3, 5, and 6 are frequent problems, but 1 and 4 act up some times. If I shut it off than back on almost immediately, the touch function works again, but the problem comes back faster. The unit is a little warm to the touch, but no more than my phone and less than my laptop. It looks like the only air flow is throught the 1/4" jack, so I wonder if a problem is more likely with more cables plugged in. It's less than a week old, so it's going back to GC rather than messing with the warranty process. Hopefully they will have a replacement that doesn't have the problem.

Ok, this is taking an unexpected turn. I went back to GC and exchange my XL. Straight out of the box (Ver 3.02), I added some blocks to a preset to max out the DSP, played a while, left it on for a while with my singles coils humming away, played more, left it more... 5 hour later, I could not replicate the problem. Great I thought, and updated to 3.15 and set it up for normal use, and about 45 minutes later, the problem was back. After testing for a while, I realized that if I pressed the switch to turn the block off and back on and switched to another block where touch was working, the function returned to the previous switch. The one change I made that seemed related was in global setting, I had changed "Select Stomp" from the default of touch to both touch and press. I switched it back and initially nothing changed, but I rebooted and after 5+ hours, the problem seems to be gone. I know I changed the setting in the previous unit and I'm 99% sure I left it on the default in my test of version 3.02. I'm assuming this is a software bug rather than a hardware problem, but the exact cause is probably more complicated than just high DSP use and a setting change, otherwise there would be more complaints and questions. I'm going to reported as a bug and hope that Line 6 can replicate the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
