Hx stomp xl, irs and cabs dont work

[Lehtori74]

Hi,

I am trying to use impulse responses for the first time. I loaded the free ones from the line6 site and some extras from York Audio. Any of these have no sound at all. I can see irs at hx edit, and i can put those on signal chain, but there is absolutely no difference in sound. I have latest firmware 3.80 and everything else is working. EDIT. LINE6 CABS DONT WORK EITHER. I have connected uafx lion 68 and it works when when cab is bypassed.

There may be a routing issue in your preset. Before pursuing this possibility let’s test whether cabs and IRs work in the simplest situation from a known start point. Please do this and report back:

1) Perform a complete backup using HX Edit (see File menu).

2) Perform a factory reset by holding down FS C + D while powering on the device.

3) Import an IR block. The factory reset will have deleted all IR blocks.

4) Select a New Preset. Add an amp block, a cab block, and an IR block - nothing else. Assign the imported IR to the block in the preset.

5) Experiment with bypassing the cab and IR blocks. Alternately turn one on/off, then the other, both on, both off, etc. Do you hear any difference in the sounds? Report your findings back here.

6) When finished experimenting and coming to a conclusion about whether the blocks are actually working or not use HX Edit to Restore the backup you made in step 1.

Hi,

 

Oh, yes they do work - it’s the whole point of HX products. If you are failing to get any sound out of your unit, it is more than likely that you have something connected incorrectly.

 

To save me from lots of typing, have a look at this video from the splendid young Mr. Cordy who will guide you through importing and using IR files to your HX Stomp XL.

 

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.
