HX Stomp as Reamp box?

[Scalpalexis]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if I can use the HX Stomp as a reamp box? If I do the following routing, will the HX Stomp transform the signal from Line level to Instrument level, like a reamp box does:

 

Output of my interface (audient ID44) --> Mono input of the HXS (set to Line Level) --> mono output of the HXS (set to Instrument level) --> Amplifier of any kind

 

Thank you!

Hi,

 

You can use your HX Stomp to re-amp without the need to use your Audient ID44 interface as the facility for re-amping is built in. 

 

See the HX Stomp 3.0 Owner's Manual - Rev D - English - Pages 55-56 USB Audio - DI Recording and Re-amping.

This guy has a video too.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Yes I know, but I don't want to do that, I want to use a real amp and other amp sims then the one in the Helix. I also don't want to use the HX as an interface, I really just want to know if it can transform the signal from Line level to Instrument level.

O.K. 

 

From the HX Stomp 3.0 Owner’s Manual page 51 - Global Settings > Ins/Outs

 

Output Level - “Choose “Inst[rument]” when connecting the 1/4" outputs to stompboxes or the front of guitar amps; choose “Line” when connecting to mixers or standalone recorders. When using a single amp or mixer channel, connect only the LEFT/MONO 1/4" jack.”

Thanks for the research, I appreciate it! Unfortunatly, I've read this info too, but it's not clear if it transform the signal or not. I guess I'll simply wait and get the reamp box I want.

Hmm…

 

It’s perfectly clear - you input your signal from your Audient ID44 to the HX as line level, through as many effects as you like, or even no effects blocks, finally if your output is set to “Inst” then you connect it to an amp. If it is set to “Line” then the output should be connected to a mixer or other recording device.

I really cannot see how that is complex, but if you want spend money on a reamp box - fine, do that, but it would appear that you are making this thing more complicated than necessary.

 

The simplest way to check if this works how you want - plug stuff into your HX Stomp and try it.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

 

P.S. I’m studio based and I have been using my Helix Floor unit to reamp since 2016 - no issues here.
