HX Effects Newbie Question

[Rando57]

I am a 100% rookie/newbie/whatever you want to call me when it comes to effects.

I recently purchased an HX Effects and while watching the online videos and listening to samples, it brought up a question.

Some of the sample effects mentioned additional effects that were attached to the main effect, but it talked about some of the add ons panning left and panning right.  What do they mean by that?

Told you I am like a newborn babe when it comes to this stuff.

Thanks for any and all help.

Of course I don’t know exactly what videos or comments you’re speaking of but in general most effects have parameters. They’re not really additional effects attached to the main effect but they do allow you to add a lot of variety to the effect. Sometimes the parameters include panning options. This is quite common with delay FX.

 

The HX Effects manual describes common FX a parameters on pages 23/24. That might be helpful for you.

 

Also, just spend some time twiddling knobs with some stereo FX models, especially the delays, to get some idea of how things operate. Of course to hear any stereo you’ll need to use two speakers or headphones. You won’t hear any panning through a guitar amp.

The samples I was speaking of are found by going to the Line 6 home page, scroll down and select HX Effects, then select Learn More.  Scrolling down on that page has 3 examples from the different effects categories: Distortion, Reverb, etc.  Each of the samples has a description of what they used to achieve that sound.
