Tuner, gate and effect

[zeropluszero]

Looking into one of these HX one devices, I think get it's uses and limitations, but wondering if this could be cabled and work....

If I wanted the HX One to replace say a tuner, noise gate and a delay, can the pre/post effect and cabling work that I could cable the HX One physically at the start of my chain to use tuner and input noise gate, then send out to other pedals and the preamp, then cabled into the amp FX loop, return to the HX, use say a delay, then back to the FX loop return?

Or is that too greedy? 

I'm assuming this can't be done, but would be cool if that is possible.

No one huh?

I don’t own the HX One to test, but reading the manual suggests that you can do what you want using the 4 Cable Method as described on pg8 of the manual. They key parameter for your situation is the Insert position.

 

The Tuner on the HX One is always available using specific footswitches to activate it, so that’s not a problem. Similarly, the Noise Gate is controlled in Settings on a Global or Preset basis so that won’t be a problem. The Noise Gate is positioned at the HX One Input in the signal chain so it will apply directly to the incoming guitar signal.
 

Then define your HX Preset to use a Delay FX and  set the Insert Position to Pre. This will position the Delay FX in the amp’s FX Loop.
