Line 6 HX Stomp - A beginners guide to using the HX with your amp! 

Can You tell me how can I connect my stomp to vox ac30c2? I tired to put my wah first, next two overdrives and stomp at the end. Bro, my drives sound crap and more silent -_- I know, that I dont need cab simulators, but still sound no good... maybe my settings in stomp is wrong?

You mean the modules themselves? Because the presets can be named easily. Aren't the amps etc. named after their real world counterparts?

@@danielbarth To avoid copyright issues, they rename the amp modules to something supposed to be easily identifiable but different - e.g. Pv Panama is a Peavey 5150, Brit Plexi BRT is a Marshall Plexi on the Bright Channel, Tweed are Fender Amps etc.

@@scottydogg278 Ah okay. I can see how that is a bit annoying. Is there some internet source identifying the actual amps?

@@danielbarth There are sources indeed :) Here's one I found with a bit of googling :) dshowmusic.com/line-6-helix-amp-models/

agreed

yes

@@Lorneplumber thanks, where have you found this info though? I can't see it anywhere

Yes and it can also be used to switch blocks on and off essentially creating a few more snapshots

Richard Hegg that’s what I’m getting one for! It’s super inspiring

I got mine a week ago and it comes with some already

I've had it for about 5 hours and from what I can tell you can blend the wet/dry pretty much however you want on the stereo effects

I’ve been trying to figure this out as well,

Esteban Nieves I have the rack. I love my amps and pedals. But I buy a lot of stuff because I have #gas. Nothing imo beats a great amp and great pedals. But if you try this with an amp put it thru the return input not thru the front. Use the cheat sheet as well. If it comes with it? Mine did. I’m assuming it comes with this as well. It takes some tweaking and I still need a pedal like an overdrive, distortion or fuzz in the loop return in front of an amp block. It makes it sound and feel better. Others use it thru an interface, computer and monitors or a line6 cabinet that has different choices of cabs. I’m not doing that. Watch videos that show you how to use it. If you don’t want your amps sound to change I’d personally stick with pedals. If you do get it and don’t want your amps sound to change. Do not use the amp sims. Just use the FX. Which kindve makes no sense if you want just FX either as I said stick with pedals or just get the HX effects not the stomp.

No...

check out THE HELIX channel too. You will get that it instruction

Dan Sherwood I don’t know if you’ve made a decision, but I’m currently considering getting one to replace my Strymon Mobius. I find that the Strymon stuff can be a little too utopian/ideal/refined, and it loses some of the character of some of the pedals it emulates. Plus this thing can do a lot depending on what you might want to do in the future.

I’m having the same problem and I have everything set to instrument in global settings and the stomp volume knob turned to 10.

Mikael Sundberg a year late but you should be running it thru your return input. Not the front of the amp. Not sure if you even still own it. Re your helix.

It a custom shop with roasted maple neck

to use it as an amp just plug it into a powered speaker (or PA system)

ukulelechriswilson I

Running into an Apollo Duo Twin

Yes it'll work, big long thread on TGP where that unit gets mentioned a ton. You can download the manual and it (seems) quite easy to set up with any midi unit

Absolutely!

Luckily digital is better sounding than tube amps. Why would anyone want some noisy tubes when you can have a perfect digital tone?

@@stephenbradley3153 By perfect, you mean sterile digital tone

I plugged it into a Bias Spark, a $250 modeling amp, and it sounds fantastic.

Yes fuzz sounds like shit

guyguyguyjean how did you figure out how to watch RU-vid? ;). J/k

Well it sounds good...so...
