HX One stereo connection to HX Stomp, not working well/correctly...

[jeremyburkett]

I'm having a lot of trouble getting the stereo connections to work correctly when hooking the HX One up into the FX loop of the HX Stomp.  To me it seems like software/routing issues that are at a deeper level than anything we have control over in the settings, but maybe I'm missing something that someone else can spot!

 

Current connections:

-TRS going out of the Send of the Stomp.

-The split ends are then going (ring) into L/mono of the HX One, and the other (tip) is going into the R/return of the HX One.

-I'm taking one regular cable from each output of the HX One, back into the HX Stomp return/aux ins (L out to L return, R out to R return, etc.)

 

Relevant settings on the HX One (I've had to use these to even get close, changing any of these makes the rest of the things worse):

-I/O Config - Insert

-Insert Position - Pre

-Bypass Type - DSP

-Tuner Audio - Mute

 

 

There are a variety of issues I'm having but I'll try to outline a specific one here, and perhaps it might lead to other answers.

 

-I call up something like the Poly Capo on the HX One (a pitch shifting effect like this makes it easier to hear the problems described below...)

 

-I then go back to the Stomp and:

--(1) I use a Stereo FX L/R block at the start of the chain, but when I engage the HX One, I ALWAYS get an equal amount of dry signal, in addition to the shifted signal from the Poly Capo.  **BUT, when I engage the tuner on the HX One, it registers a signal for tuning...while constantly sending the dry tone (non-shifted) through as well (even with every setting everywhere telling the tuner to mute...)

--(2) same hookup as above.  This time I use a Mono FX Loop L block on the Stomp.  This will kill the dry signal I was getting from the previous attempt, so the Poly Capo then is behaving like it should...BUT when I engage the tuner on the HX One, it doesn't register any signal at all!

--(3) same hookup as above. This time I use a Mono FX Loop R block on the Stomp.  Now, it completely ignores the Poly Capo (on or off, it doesn't affect the tone) BUT it does register the signal for the tuner AND keeps it going so you can hear it when the tuner is engaged.

 

So, in this configuration, I can never have the Poly Capo effect work the way it's supposed to, while also having the tuner work (again, point (2) makes the effect work properly, but nothing ever makes the tuner work correctly...)

 

 

Then, I tried reversing the inputs (tip/ring) going into the HX One.  (This mostly made things worse)

--This time using FX Loop L, kills all signal completely whenever that block is on in the Stomp...but does register when the tuner is engaged (but still no signal coming through).

--Then, trying the FX Loop R, has no signal like above but this time the tuner doesn't register anything either...so this is the farthest away from working of all the attempts.

-If I turn OFF that block in the Stomp, effectively bypassing the FX Loop completely, I get signal coming back through the rest of the chain.

 

 

 

So, in summary, it does seem like the (ring) needs to go to the L/Mono input of the HX One, with the (tip) in the R/return, but as you can see from above, there's still something that isn't quite working.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!!

Shouldn't the I/O Configuration on the HX One be set to Stereo?  Otherwise it is also using an FX Loop.

I thought of that earlier on and tried it set to Stereo, like you're saying.  Unfortunately when I do that, I lose all signal going through the HX One!  It's only when I have those listed settings that I get anything at all to come through.
