Digiplay Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 My Topic asks it all! This pedal needs to be no wider than the HX Stomp, and only a few inches front to back. BTW, if the HX Stomp will allow more than 3 additional footswitches, I'd like that even better, so let me know of that model :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Perhaps I misunderstand your question. The HX Stomp is capable of supporting one or two external footswitches, not three. So, no - there is no 3-switch pedal available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 From the manual: 10. EXP 1/2, FS 4/5 Connect an expression pedal here to adjust a wide variety of parameters.* With a Y-cable (tip-ring-sleeve 1/4" jack, split to two tip-sleeve 1/4" jacks), two expression pedals can be connected. Alternatively, you can add one (or with a Y-cable, two) external footswitches to access additional stomps, presets, snapshots, etc. (FS4=tip, FS5=ring). To set this jack’s function(s), see page 52. By default, this jack is set to accommodate a Mission SP1-L6H Line 6 Expression Pedal, which has a toe switch that toggles between EXP 1 (Wah/Pitch or Poly Wham) and EXP 2 (Volume/Pan). For external footswitches, the momentary (unlatched) type should be used. IOW - No. There's 3 button switches out there, they just won't work with the HXS. HOWEVER, you can add as many buttons as you want with MIDI. Morningstar is a very popular brand with HXS users: MC3 MIDI Controller | Morningstar Engineering (morningstarfx.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiplay Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Sorry if I asked with the wrong terms rd2rk :) Regardless, you answered my question by stating no, it can't support a 3 switch pedal, only 2. Thanks! Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 No, I knew what you were asking. I included the manual reference FYI. Unfortunately, MIDI pedals do cost more than simple analog switches. Plus there's the learning curve. They do work great though, and are usually much more flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digiplay Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Hold the Presses! I just purchased a Mission SP1-L6H Line 6 Expression Pedal, so does this mean I can't add a 2 pedal footswitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 That pedal is your 2-switch pedal, as described in the documentation. I don’t know what you mean. It’s not two pedals, it’s two switches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the pedal on the "lowly" Pod Go :) It's all in the manual. :) "With a Y cable, you can connect up to two expression pedals and/or momentary type footswitches to HX Stomp's rear panel EXP 1/2 | FS 4/5 jack. Alternatively, you can connect a single Mission SP1-L6H Line 6 Expression Pedal, which has a toe switch built in that can toggle its function between EXP 1 (Wah by default) and EXP 2 (Volume by default)." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
