Using HX Stomp with a switcher in four cable method

[Euripides]

Hello all,

I'm looking to use an HX Stomp in 4 cable method connected to my switcher that would allow me to use both pre and post FX connected to my amp. My switcher is one that looks like a Musicomlab or RJM PBC switcher that contains 4 loops for FX going in front of the amp (Loops 1-4) as well as 4 FX going into the FX loop (Loops 5-8).I'm guessing that in order to make this happen I would have to connect the HX Stomp as I normally would in 4 cable method. Loop 4 (for example) Send --- HX Stomp Input/Loop 4 Return --- HX Stomp Send L

              Loop 8 (for example) Send --- HX Stomp Return L / Loop 8 Return --- HX Stomp                    Out

Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Another crucial question that would arise is, what would the preset on the HX Stomp look like if I were to use a phaser and a delay effect ?

Thank you to everyone in advance!

Hi Euripides,

 

I don't understand the request. The HX Stomp has Main Ins and Outs - and one Stereo-FX-Loop or two Mono-FX-Loops. So plenty of possiblities:

1. You can go into HX Stomp via Main Ins, do some processing before Amp-Preamp (Wah, Pitch, Boosters, Pedals, ...) and go out to Send on HX Stomp.
2. Then route it to your Amps, Preamp section and come back with the send from the amp.
3. Route that to your HX Stomps Return. Do some Processing like Reverb, Delay, Chorus.
4. Then use the Main-Out of HX to route it to your Amp-Return.

These points refere normally to the "4-cables" of the "method". You can even do that in Stereo with the HX Stomp.

 

And of cause you can add other effects in any order with your switcher.

 

Maybe the difficult thing here ist: Send and Return is always to be seen "from the single device". So normally you go in HX-Main-In, from HX-Send to Preamp-in, from amp-send to HX-return and from HX-Main-Out to Amp-Return. If you add a switcher in between you add another layer of "Send-Return". But it works basically the same!

 

If you have other questions - feel free to send a wiring diagram or description, what you exactly want to do. I own the HX Stomp for 5 years now and play in different projects with three guitarrists owning Helix LR or the big Helix Floorboard. Last one due to my "marketing" for Helix ;-) So I know HX Stomp, Helix, Helix LT and Helix native...

 

Best regards,
