brandonhart Posted Saturday at 02:05 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:05 PM Hello, I'm working on understanding each block on the HX Stomp XL. The names don't really resonate with me, but I can listen for what I'm trying to achieve. However, the parameters are often abbreviated, which makes it challenging. How can I find out what each parameter does for each block? Is it assumed that I already own all the physical pedals and amps, along with their manuals for the blocks being simulated?

silverhead Posted Saturday at 04:00 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:00 PM There is a very reasonably priced eBook available on Sweetwater called The Big Book of Helix Tips and Tricks. It is authored by a regular contributor here named Craig Anderton. I have no affiliation with him and I am endorsing, not promoting, his product. I find it to be an invaluable resource and, given your question, I think it would be a disservice to you not to mention it. Detailed explanations of all FX blocks and their parameters is just one of the many things it covers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
