6 Ways To Use the Line 6 HX Stomp at a Live Gig 

THANK YOU, I've literally watched more than 15 videos looking for this answers !!

3 yrs running, still one of the best videos on the Stomp out there. New user here, thanks for all you're doing/have done!

Best entry level stomp vid out there! Everything is super clear and you don't endlessly reference cable methods we might be unfarmiliar with (without explaining them) and tell us "there are no wrong answers" !!!

Richie, that was absolutely the best all inclusive video I have seen on the stomp. It will help lots of new users. I like how you show the real time, hands on example of using the Stomp interface for actual gig situations. Your examples of creating patches are explained in a concise and easy to understand manner. And you explain the line and instrument setting which is very important. I have had my Stomp for a few months and absolutely love it. I have been playing guitar for 40+ years and the Stomp has encouraged me to play more just because it is so much fun creating incredible tones. And your tones all sound incredible! Thank you so much for all you do, Richie - and long live BOC!!! 👍🏻🎸

This is easily the best and most complete instructional video that I have seen for the HX Stomp.

This is the best video showing off the HX Stomp's feature. Hands down

by far the best video on RU-vid re the hx stomp! just brilliant! the manual written by line6 is awful, this video did it all! thank you :D

man, i always go back to this video!!!!

This is lile literally THE video i have been trying to find up here on RU-vid... Great work brother. Thanks for making it all straight to the points...no extra talks ... no beating around the bush.... amazing video.... i have learnt answers to everything i was actually confused with so far up until now. Bless you man. Keep it up.

This is much better than Line 6's videos, and those are usually really good. This video has a good pace, great PRACTICAL application examples, and a very detailed plunge into the unit's features and capabilities. Thanks, Richie!

I gotta say…this video is hands dow THEE BEST HX STOMP VIDEO TUTORIAL on youtube!!! Its been frustrating setting my pedal up with the pedalboard after watching every other video! Was left even more confused up until now! Thank you!

Such a good video. Really deals with things that are relevant in a gigging capacity. Thanks!

The best stomp chain explanation i have ever seen in my entire life. Thank you so much!

This is great. I’ve owned a Stomp for 6 months. Barely understanding how to use it w L6 instructions and the vids on their site. Yours is clear, straightforward. I was ready to sell it and recover some cash. I won’t now. L6 should send you a fat check$! Thanks Richie

Bravo, sir! That was an incredibly easy to follow video that used the HX Stomp in ways I hadn't even imagined. Wow! Thanks for taking the time to make this for us!

Extremely helpful. Learned a truckload. I subscribed, too. I have had the unit for months, just, took it out of the box, for the first time, over a week ago. Now Im sure, I will keep it. Thank you.

Echoing other comments about how incredibly useful the info in this video is. I just bought an HX Stomp and the amount of uses for it are insane but so is the learning curve.

appreciate the close up shots too showing cable connections, often overlooked in other videos.

Mind. Blown. 🤯 Thank you so much for having the patience to do all this.

The best video about hx stomp out there! Very well explained and extremely practical!

This has been the most valuable video on the stomp I could find since I purchased my stomp! Thanks so much. More please

What an utterly brilliant introduction to the Stomp. Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

If I didn't already buy an HX Stomp, this video would have convinced me I have to have one. Richie - you're the best.

I just picked up an HX Stomp. I have to admit, I thought it was a bit expensive until I watched this video and Richie showed me how unbelievably powerful this little unit is. Now I feel like I got a great deal!

This is honestly the best most comprehensive review of what this little thing is capable of. Thank you for showing us all the different situations and possibilities, clubbed with great playing! You're the best.

Finally. A simple step by step demo for use on a pedalboard, starting from the most basic application which is what I needed to understand as a starting point. Great video. Thank you.

Hands down, the absolute BEST explanations and practical examples showcasing the HX Stomp. I referred to the video in 2019, and still find myself going back for refreshers. Thank you a million times over for helping us who are less cable and effects savvy!!

Geez!!! This is the most useful summary of the power of the unit. I'll have mine in a few days and these are exactly the ways I planned to use it. Video is explained concisely and very striaghtforward. Thanks so much, I'm bookmarking this!!!

I think you know more about sound, guitar, music arranging, recording, basically the whole enchilada. I’m always impressed. I’ve been around guitar, music since 1964 and I’ve never seen or heard anyone with your knowledge. But the cherry on the top is, with all that nuclear power... you’re humble! You deserve everything you get and more! Thanks Richie. You are living the life I could have only wished fir.

Exactly what I needed. Thank you! Just bought a HX Stomp, but it is surprising how hard it is to find someone to simply explain the main uses of HX Stomp in live setting with pedalboard and amp. Just subscribed for that alone.

I know I’m 9 months late to the comment game but I’m new to the Stomp. Having searched, trying to find magical combo of key words, watching Line6Support clips, etc, this was the nugget of gold that made such good sense of the different dynamics and combinations for practical applications. Thanks for taking the time!!

Holy smokes. You probably understand how to use this better than the people at Line 6. I just subscribed.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video, Richie - all the combinations you demonstrated are super helpful!

This was probably the most complete (and most useful) video on signal chain, pedal board, and HX stomp all bundled in one! I've learned so much! Thanks man!

From hundreds of video reviews about this Fx Pedal yours is the absolute best of them all !! Congratulations and thank you for your time !! Cheers !!

Richie this is BY FAR the most comprehensive, understandable and musical explanation of the HX stomps live potential that I have seen. I’m just building a 60cm x 30cm board with my Bluguitar Amp1 ME and an HX Stomp XL and you’ve told me EVERYTHING I need to know. Thank you! Jim

I've watched dozens of these videos and this is hands down the best. You're the only one I've seen who has plugged the pedals board into the effects loop of the hx stomp.

Outstanding video Richie! Really gives several ideas how the HX Stomp can be used with or even in place of your existing pedals. A++

Just got the HX Stomp a couple of days ago for my bass and I have been blow away by it. Sounds great and I was up and running within 20 minutes. Videos like yours have been very helpful to get the most out of the Stomp. Thanks for making such awesome and helpful videos!

Thank you so much. Now I have an option to lighten up when I go to rehearsals. My EVH 2X12 cab is a beast!

Thanks for Not wasting my time. Grateful for your knowledge and effort. You are an excellent teacher & communicator.

Thanks Richie, this is the most clear explaination of how to use the HX stomp. Awsome!

This just might be the best video about hx stomp features and tweaks on RU-vid. Thank you sir.

Richie, I love you vids!.. As well as, you're one talented dude!! The Take 6 vids alone place you in a rare level ..!

Richie best videos on RU-vid for Helix and now HX Stomp! Thank you for your practical real world applicatons.

Thank you thank you thank you. Just got HX stomp to use for a fly date and have one week to figure it out. This is the first video I’ve seen that finally clicks for me. You covered exactly what I needed to learn!!!!

Holy Smokes! THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN SO FAR! Thank you so much for showing us how simple it can be done. You rock!

great video! i'm going back and forth between buying the hx stomp and the hx effects, and this video really showed me what this tiny box can do!

This video deserves sponsorship from Line6 (if not yet). AMAZING!!! Understood so much in 29:56 than watching other reviews for 5hours+++. Great job Richie!

Perfect timing. I just replaced all my pedals (except AMT wah) with an HX Stomp, and using it live for the first time this Saturday (16th march 2019). Stomp with preamp models into fx return of a bluguitar amp1, all on the same pedalboard, lovely :) great vid.

Dude. This is one of the best instructional videos I ever saw on any topic. About the box itself, the feature list should simply say: "does everything". It's just crazy how versatile this box it is.

I’ve been a line 6 fan for decades. I really enjoy your line 6 videos

Thank you for sharing the 4cm. This is the best video showing its capabilities

A-1 + Does not get better than this . Very well done ! Great demo of a another great Line 6 product . Still rocking my POD HD . This HX stomp is awesome .

All of these options are why I'm leaning more towards an HX stomp than a full sized Helix.

The best tutorial ever. Thank you so much for making time to shows all those configurations. I almost return my HX, because I did not know how to use it with my amp.

Another great, simplified explanation of a great tool. I always enjoy your logic. Thanks

the best review i've ever seen of this extremely versatile pedal. i love the way you describe it very simply.

Great run down of the Stomp routing options Richie. Thx!

Thanks for that real life scenario without all that worshipping of the manufacturer. Really cool insight

Most excellent presentation skills Richie. Great setup, by simply posing a question in the viewers mind, and then answering it. My stop is on order and i've never been more excited, will definitely revisit your video for repeat viewings.

Just what I've been looking for- thorough and very clear on all the routing. Subscribed!

Hands down best how to video on the stomp i have seen yet.... Thank you brother!!!!!

Tks Ritchie for your instructive vid. I bought the HX for practicing in my bedroom without using my pedalboard witch is very large. But now I think I will incorporate it on board.

Exactly the video I was hoping to find. Thanks for all your work, great job!

Liked & subbed. Very helpful for an HX Stomp newbie. Clear, concise, and thorough. Thanks!

Super useful content, Richie. Ima watch this MANY times. Thanks!

Yeeeesss! Finally found the video I’ve been looking for to figure out the FX loop. Thank you!

This is a GREAT demo & tutorial. Thank you!

Excellent video! Thanks very much, perfect info for the gigging player.

Very cool of you to show these. Thanks !!!

One of the best demonstration ever.!! Appreciated too good and super helpful.!! 🙏

Thanks Richie. I love your videos and have learned so much about using my HX Stomp from you. I came up with a different way to use the HX with 4CM but without using up a Send/Return > Mono > FX Loop block. I use the L/Mono Input and Right Input along with the L/Mono Output and Right Output. Route the L/Mono Input to Path A of the Split (full left) and the L/Mono Output to your amp's Input. In that path you can add compression, gain, pitch, etc. (pre-gain) type effects. (make sure to use Split Y) . Route the Right Input to Path B of the Split (full right). Hook up the Right Input to your amp's Effects Send and the Right Output to your amps Effects Return. In that path you can add your delays, chorus, reverbs, etc. (post-gain) type effects. I haven't found a place where I need to switch between my amp's current channel to a built-in HX Stomp preamp, so this works great for me. I also have setup patches where I route everything to Path B of the Split, completely bypassing the amps preamp and I add in a HX Preamp near the start of the signal chain and then route other effects accordingly. I'll post a video of the process and results in the next few days. ~JF (BOC RULES!!!)

Hands down best HX Stomp video! Thank you, sir!

1st time watching your videos... Still waiting on the arrival of my hx stomp and I'm already your fan! Thanks man! Rock on!

This is one of the best videos fro the hx stomp I have seen on youtube. If I would have seen this video earlier i would have made my purchased a long time ago.

The best how to video I've found yet! I'm a new user to foot pedals and other vids were confusing. Thank you so so much!

Wow that was great and highly informative! The cable management has my anxiety racing though lol great video and thanks for the info!

By far the best video I've seen on how to use the helix. Thanks!!

So helpful. Thank you for taking your time and saving mine!

I needed this video a year ago. I was planning to sell my unit this video changed my mind. Thanks man.
