New User ... Getting Started with HX Stomp

[mrgeeze]

Any YouTube (or other) Sites to suggest to begin to understand this amazing little box ?

I can usually figure things out myself, but this is a complicated little beast.

Already I've found plenty of junk.

Would love to not have to go through the entire internet.

 

I run the Stomp into a QSC 10.2.

I create my initial patches with HX Edit then, if necessary adjust with the Stomp.

 

 

The only real issue I've got so far is getting adequate gain into the FRFR.

I'm dimed on the output and have the QSC up +2

I have noticed that volume drops significantly when I engage a amp+cab combination vice cab only.

 

Thanks

Check this book out as well. It's a downloaded PDF and the good thing about that is everytime the Helix get's updated, the book does too. You just use the same link you had to get the original copy and download it agaiin.

You might want to set the Global Settings -> Ins/Outs -> Output Level to Line to get a signal that is about twice the level of Inst.

Generally speaking when you go direct to a powered speaker you want to sent a Line level signal not a Mic level signal, and that's why I'm assuming you're not getting enough gain.  I normally set my signal levels in the Global Ins/Outs settings.  I set mine to Mic level because I'm always going direct to a mixing board.  When I used to go direct to a standalone speaker I'd send Line level, which is what is typically sent from a mixer to a powered speaker.
