HX Stomp - send Amp Sim to just headphone out/bypass output to actual amp

[faukks]

Hi everyone! I would like to be able to send the chain of effects I have to my amp, and then have the amp sim go to the headphones so that I can use it for my monitor/headphone amp. Basically, I'd like to only hear the amp sim in my headphones, and for it not to go to the output of the HX Stomp. Is this possible?

 

I've attached my current setup below. I'm not great at all this stuff, but I'm trying to figure it all out. Thank you for your help!

Method 1) You would have to use the split path for that and create an output for path B. That way, path B would run to the send jacks. You could use that to feed your amp and use path A for your headphone duties. The modulation block would have to go for that purpose. The advance of this would be that you wouldn't have to waste a block for a send.

Method 2) You would insert a send/return block before the Stomp's amp and feed your amp from there. You'd lose a block that way but could leave anything else intact.

 

For both methods, you defenitely want to make sure the amp (or at least the cab block) are the last thing in the signal chain, otherwise you would only hear, say, your delays and verbs through either your amp or your headphones.

 

Fwiw: You're pretty much wasting the cab block in the patch you've posted. In case you'd be using an A+C block, you could ditch the dedicated cab block.

Thank you so much! So I've done what you said and I think I've got it correct in the image below. So then I would put the headphones into the Send (stereo) jack instead of the actual headphone jack right?

No, that won't work. You need to do it the other way around. Your headphones won't work with the send, so the upper path has to have the amp signal, so you could use the normal HP out.

Unfortunately there's something i forgot before: You can only create a split in case there's a block on the splitted path. IMO that's really an oversight on Line 6's behalf as there's plenty of reasons why you'd like to split something without using any blocks. In addition to that, unlike on the Floor, re-assigning output blocks isn't possible on the Stomp at all.

So I'm afraid that if you wanted to get this thing to work, you would have to "waste" a block in any case (or connect an external headphone amp to your send, less than ideal I'd say...).

That actually works perfectly fine, I have it going into a headphone amp/personal monitor. The Rolls PM50s. So this works great for me!

Ah, ok, great then. I thought you were connecting the headphones straight to the send jack.
